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.

Please add the Manfred Weise a Deutz ttv 1145 in fendt colour 

Thank you - it now has been added

I thinking about making a blogg or site where I could included the pictures etc - are internet sites expensive or should i create a blog?  can anyone guide me?

Not a stripper header aka Shelbourne Reynolds - that utiliises plastic fingers on powered bat reeels, similar in principal to the roman vallus.

This depended on fricton of the spiral reel to snap off the heads.

Invented by the legendary tom Carrol.

Marky F - you should have a shrine to TC next to Harry F - he was the father of the Massey Combines!!

give us a break! :D its still a stripper header

I think a draper header is a pick up header... for swathed crops I believe  \

you beat me to it - i think is a stripper header which leaves the straw and strips the head off - Shelbourne Reynolds sell them.  UK combine contractors buy them to fit for certain crops etc

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.

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

what colours were for sale and in what boxes?

just the metalic red in dealer box - these are available only through Valtra/Agco but the silver one will be general realease.

i thought i had them all, but im now missing the atles 936 with duals and the atles 925. i only collect the 1/32 scale although the doe was nearly changing my mind. i dont bother with different boxes either, my plan is just to have one of each on display.

do you have a atles 925 gromittigger?

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! \

thanks for the pic, i'l have to keep my eyes peeled for one now, i think i'm as fussy as you gromittigger i want all the variations as well.

Do you have them all?

I have every thing to date - I don't collect different boxes as I display them.  I've funded it by selling all my Britains but I only have two shelves left of the cheap stuff, I don't know what im going to do to fund it by the end of the year!

is it just me or is the furthest away one missing a beacon?

:D :D

thanks for pointing this out - i've just found it on the desk - I KNOCKED IT OFF!!! :'( :'(

Do they both come in dealer boxes?

Ive got the 566ATZ in a dealer box, so is the 577ATZ in a dealer box or the standard??

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. \ \ [

You'll have to take my word as my camera is CR*P

2186

Thanks to G&M Models in pointing this out to me - Some of you may have already noticed but UH have changed the number on the Ares with loader it was the 566ATZ and now its the 577ATZ

If you are as particular as I am in having all the different versions then G&M have stock of both.

i thought they only did the 935 as well, is the 936 in a dealer box?

no - I left it at my mates who is bring it up to spalding for me - I will post picture when I get it.

This is a picture of underneath my xerion

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 \

I've just found a Renault 936RZ with Duals all round - I thought they only did the 935RZ but obviously not

Anyway i've bought it

It has been put on the list

what new trailer is this, any pictures of it? its not the cargo tipping trailer you're speaking about is it

Go to Home section the Universal hobbies new releases and you will find a topic 'new silage trailer'.  The pictures are there

Can the silage trailer be added?

I've added it - thanks for the reminder - do you know much about the 1/16 as I don't collect it so only update when people say?

can anyone offer more info on the silage trailer - make etc?

Im going to do the list properly one day with all the box number etc 

Nothing special just paint convo's really in my early days - bit dusty now

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.
