what a fantastic choice of machine - the most accurate spreader on the market. The only reason they have lost there popularity in the east is they spread upto 12m whereas most people do 24m in the arable sector. Well over a million of these machines have ben sold in the past - theres nothing easier to use.

Did anyone go to scot grass? Are there any pictures? It was a great day, sun shinning and luckily everthing went to plan! unfortunatly I didn't get time to get round - but I know there must be some great pictures about somewhere. A lot of machines were launched there.

1/32 lorry/trucks help wanted
gromittigger replied to gromittigger's question in Custom Model Methods/Tips/Help
Thank you for all the advise - what sacle are these lorries - I saw one on Ebay saying it was 1/43, does this matter or are they close enough? -
I saw a stall at spalding with lorries converted to suit 1/32 farm models. If I remember correctly a member on the forum converts lorries also (is it Rick?) Im interested in sourcing a lorry to suit 1/32 to convert into a low loader, can anyone help me to source a make that produces one. I know Britains make lorries but Im after a better/modern cab.

was the new valtra at spalding?
gromittigger replied to Goodhead's topic in Universal Hobbies Models
You better ring him as he could be sold out as every Valtra he had was at the show - there was only about 6 left at 12.00pm -

just the metalic red in dealer box - these are available only through Valtra/Agco but the silver one will be general realease. -
No but I am struggling to find one so I have written it off for now - I don't know how many were made but I 've only had 1 person say they have one. they did show me a picture to confirm it. So I have them all bar 1 then! The Renaults are causing me some stress due to the number of versions This is a list another member sent to me 1. Renault Atles 925 RZ, duals all around, Limited Edition in dealerbox 2. Renault Atles 925 RZ, duals all around, Limited Edition in Dealerbox, Clubmodel A.C.A. , Flashlight in top of the cabine ( not done by UH), A.C.A. Sticker in the left upper corner of the styrofoam inlet. 3. Renault Atles 935 RZ, singles 4. Renault Atles 935 RZ, duals 5. Renault Atles 936 RZ, singles 6. Renault Atles 936 RZ, duals 7. Renault Atles 936 RZ, singles, old bonnet, fronthitch with small stickers] 8. Renault Atles 936 RZ, singles, old bonnet, fronthitch with no stickers 9. Renault Atles 936 RZ, singles, new bonnet ( like Claas Atles), fronthitch with no stickers The red ones I could do with more proof - you can see another 2 Dual wheel tractors as a 925, the sticker he is refering to is below on the linkage I haven't included these yet as I like to see them or have many pictures to prove there not convo's etc, not saying they are but just to reasure me. Gradually Im getting there for example the 936 with dual is confirmed. so I got them all bar 4? I give up! \

gromittigger replied to gromittigger's topic in Universal Hobbies Models
mine was in a standard country box - I think its UH doing the same as the renault - you may see my other post where I have found that UH have put the renault 936 decals on the dual wheeled tractor which were always 935. \ \ [ -

I was going through Kings Models web site and saw that they are selling two version of the xerion - one pre a recall and one after. They seem to have recalled them to strengthen the axle (it states) Is there a quick way to identify the early version to the current one without another to compare. There taking advantage of this already by charging more for the pre modified ones. Does anyone know any more regards this recall? First i've heard of it \

when we carry out demo's using a fastrac for big baling, you do find you need a lot of horsepower whereas we can use a lot smaller hp with a conventional tractor - no offence to JCB, its a great pulling machine but no good at pto work. A customer I visited today with a big square tried it on a 140HP fastrac and it killed it, but he normally runs it on a 125HP Case quite happily. The new Claas has been reported to need a lot more power for the chamber size compared with other manufacturers. But this baler has been developed for high than expected outputs and good density which needs some serious power.
