i may have one i know ive got a FW brochure but wont be able to lay my hands on it for a few days. I know Ford did a single page spec sheet for the FW60.

fuel consumption is overlooked by most but in my opinion its a major factor nowadays, as you said it adds up over time. Is the Deutz definately not going to get a chance then?

brilliant a IH 1455xl im well satisfied this year so far or will be once i have one.

MB Trac 1100..............my prayers have been answered, fantastic news. On the Kommunal paint theme im not nit picking but MB refer to that colour as (high vis yellow) as its a colour option even for ag-spec Mogs.

like most commodoties/produce its decided before the lorry leaves the farm that potatoes will be rejected, often the lorry driver will know before hes even loaded. My old boss would sell off the field pre-pack market Romano, as he said most farmers dont look at storage and grading costs. So those parts for the de-stoner Gav are they genuine or Spaldings make do???

i think it was Quivogne that took over Gard, a French firm that made discs. A farm i used to work on had a 5-leg Gard subsoiler dropped down to 3 legs so the JD 4755 could pull it and a 5 metre set of Gard discs, they were very well made and originally purchased to put behind the Steiger the farm had in the 70s.

the same was said about other machines over the years its only a matter of time.

i understand what youre saying, but like i said loaders for high HP tractors is a growing market. Maybe not in your area but Europe as a whole. In my opinion Wiking shouldnt pass up on the oppurtunity of fitting loaders to the exsisting line up or future models they decide to replicate.

since when has the Deutz TTV or Fendt 936 been too big for a loader?? Speak to any loader manufacturer at a show or read the farming press (profi) and the high HP tractor mounted loader is the growing market. There was even an article in Profi about Fendt mounting a rear loader on the 939. As for UH making a decent loader, come on please???? I just know a Wiking loader will just out-do UH in every way.

great news a decent loader!!! Wonder how long it will be before there is one on the Deutz or the Fendt.

no more Massey tractors please!!!! However a MF 30 seed drill would surely be a huge seller.

on individual items its not a massive amount, what annoys about VAT is its 2.5% increase regardless whether you earn minimum wage or £50k a year. I would also add people moan about price rises for all goods and services but still buy bottled water, nothing makes sense anymore!!!!!! As for some businesses making a bit extra for themselves then yes 0.5% extra here there who will notice in the confusion and i dont see model dealers being any different, there are good and bad in all WALKS of life.

4455 would be my choice

i think some companies limit stock to make them more wantable if you get me

ive seen a Mog books with the same content, interesting but i agree with Mark

when it comes to world of models my advise hang on a while and see what gets released, in my opinion we are long overdue a Deutz combine from the likes of Siku?

ive always had Nokia, im not one for the latest must have!!!!! as long as it does the job, in my case calls and web browsing. Im with O2 at present mainly due to service and the fact ive fallen out with all the other companies. Have you looked at the JCB phone Tris?? Fairly rugged in all the tests and very waterproof.

just found some more pictures of the Unimog 406, i think this looks excellent cant wait to get hold of mine ;) http://www.nasshan.com/en/Weise-Toys/Mercedes-Benz-Agrar-Unimog-U406-mit-softtop-type-series-U84-1971-1989.html

well my grand total is 1 although strictly speaking its on order and i wont be collecting it until January so i guess the accurate figure is 0

if UH are going to make another Ford let it be a 7700 or a TW

saw a lovely IH 956 2wd with wide mudguards, looked superb and still being used

1) Weise Unimog 2) Britains Case IH 56 series- but only if it meets my expectations may wait to see if they get released by another manufacturer.

I have loads of favourite topics, i guess the brochure topic would be top although i really look forward to Sachas updates in farm talk as its something different and his pictures are top quality

Mark, did Massey have their own art department for these brochures??

as Sean said really, Siku are a great company to deal with and really care about customers i know nothing about the Pacific battles of WWII, in my opinion the battles that took part on the Russian front are far more interesting, of course other opinions are available ;D ;D
