Yes very easy and before you say it, it had a new one before silaging and doesn't need a new one just yet. You can see through the plastic top just the pic makes it look like it's ditched ;)

Why you little.................... :D

Well as for driving them there very nice and smooth to most peoples amazement. Have 6 cyl, Perkins giving you 120HP, although I think mine has been tweaked a little. Sounds very good has a nice roar to it. You have your 2 gear sticks to the right, range 1 to 4 and shuttle next to it. The dynashift is a very good and that's located on the left hand side of the dash under the steering wheel abit like an indicator lever. You can shift from A to D and really is usefull, probably the best tractor I have been in with that sort of setup, can be quite jumpy though if you shift up at the wrong time or pull it down thinking it's your indicator. 4WD automatically comes on everytime you start the engine which is a bit crap, as you have to press the brake pedals first before you can disengage it but after that you can just press the switch etc. Hydraulics are very good most of the time. Mine has had a bigger pump fitted not sure on flow capacity but it can tip up a 20 ton trailer like a 6 tonner at just over tick over so thats very good and fast. Pump is quite noisy at first after you have started it but once it's warmed up it's sound. Rear linkage hydraulics are rather slow to move down when you have nothing on the back for some reason. Not sure why, going up there normal. Depth settings are also very good. Set how high/low you want your arms to go and then that's it, you just use a rocker switch to lift and lower from then so headland turns are super quick when tedding etc hardly have to stop. 3 spool levers so plenty of spools to handle the majority of tackle. Rear linkage can handle at least a 7 furrow kverneland mounted plough providing you have front weights with relative ease, just don't go too fast on the roads. Can pull 20 grain trailers quite well just takes a bit to get going, dynashift helps a hell of alot though. Brakes are very sharp too but heard they can get quite hot and sometimes break up \ Cab layout is nicely set out most things are at hand just the lever to let your hook drop is abit out of reach. PTO is a push and twist nob with 1000, 540 and 540E settings. Air con is very good and cold. Only downfall there is no lower vents all in the roof. Radio and speakers are also great especially when your listening to 50 cent . Visibility is quite good rear window is abit narrow with a bit too much framework for my liking but it's ok. There's a little mirror in the middle of the rear window so when it's open you have a perfect view of hooking onto trailers etc. Sunroof is also good. and it actually stays open when you go over speed bumps unlike most others brands. Nice dash display with digital speedo and PTO RPM readings. Steering wheel only moves in and out not up and down which is a bit crap I think. Excellent air seat too made by Kab I think, rides out the bumps. Also a nice little fold out passanger seat to the left. Quite a few places to store little bits too, under the passanger seat and in 2 moulded dish's either side of the seat which also has bottle/can holder and in the roof is also a little fridge which runs of the air con where you can store a can or your snap. ? Datatronic I think it's called is also very useful, once you have worked it all out. Gives you readings on miles per gallon, acres an hour, forward speed, next service etc. All digital and backlit so you can see it in the dark. Have it at the moment so 4wd and diff lock comes on at 30% wheel slip so that may come in handy. Also tells me it's costing me ?18.90 an hour straw carting \ Plenty of lights on it too 4 front spots, and 2 rear spots aswell as headlights etc. Nice and bright too so can carry on in to the night. Was mowing 2nd cut the other week till gone 12 at night and could still see perfectly so that's good. Headlights do point up a little too much which is a bit crap. All in all a very nice tractor to drive, once you have worked it all out. I wouldn't recommend it to start out on or if you had no experience before as it can be rather tricky and confusing to drive. Any questions fire away Nath

What do you need/want to know NH2, I could ramble on about them all night if you want ;D

I think it's just the box they use for the models after they have been in the dealer intro boxes. I have a Renault Atles too in the green country collection box, but I also have the dualed up Atles in a Grey Renault Agriculture box. Look I stayed OT too

I want one, I want one looks well smart . Any chance you can do a 6180 Dave as I have one in 1/1 scale. Only needs a decal change. At last a proper sized MF 6100 series. You've made my day :D

How about a K'nex one. I've seen them turning those big K'nex ferris wheels so it should handle an elevator. Not sure on the size though maybe a bit large for an elevator unless you hide it ???

Sorted it chaps. It's now running up and down the carpet like bloody hell I turned the PTO with some pliers and she soon jumped to life ;D Thanks Nath

Would look great with tracks ;) :D

Hi, Just got a Britains powerfarm Ford TW of ebay, anyway to cut a long story short cause I'm knackered. I have put the battery in the bonnet etc, pushed the switch backwards and forwards but nothing happens. Just wondering if there is anything I can do to make it work without splitting it if so what? I am open to all ideas Help Cheers, Nath

oooohhhhhh I'm excited, finally a big sprayer with rowcrops too, I was getting bored of the Amazone :D

We do it to stop it going rotton by the rain etc over winter. Before we wrapped them we use to lose quite alot of straw, the first 4 inch's of the bale would be just soggy straw which isn't too nice to lye on. So we decided to wrap them to see the outcome, we only put 1 layer on but it does stop them turning to crap. Where only doing it though till we put our new shed up then it will be stored under there. Were in the process of making the hardstanding for it at the moment so lot's or lorries turning up with rubble, soil etc, but to store 4000+ bales a year on it we still have a fair/hell of a long way to go \ :D

We wrap all our straw If only it turned into silage when we where doing it though I'd be a multi-millionare

Fordson on tracks ???

A Ford New Holland ???

Cool I forward it to Oxford :D

Here we are: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6974521746&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

No smarty pants

Alright chaps,l Need to know what prices the Britains Powerfarm Ford TW 35 and Vicon mower set go for nowadays. Both models are in mint condition but the box is a little tatty ??? Also how much for a boxed Ford TW 35 in mint condition but with the motor not working ??? Cheers Nath

Took these a year or so back when I got the New Siku Horsch Chaser Bin, also wanted to test my photoshop skills at the same time so made it look like it was unloading . Sorry for the [shadow=black,left] blurry [/shadow] pics, the helicopter pilot couldn't keep it steady while I was snapping : :D

Drat and double drat

It's the cab mate :D

Isn't that the tractor FP used when he went discing the other day ;) :D
