This can't be right? Before anyone says I picking on it - im not - but there can't be such a thing ever produced just to use as a silage trailer. A farmer would be destroying a ?50,000+ machine and turning it into a ?12,000 trailer! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Claas-silage-trailer-Conversion_W0QQitemZ300048170145QQihZ020QQcategoryZ117196QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Well I can't beleive it - but who's to say

Updates are included - Does anyone have the gold Deutz tractors? if so can they confirm if they are a Ltd ed or Ltd Qty. If Ltd Ed they should have the qty underneath - WOuld anyone be kind enough to confirm the number on the bottom of the model. Thanks

I Agree Acetylene is Maroon. It can't be anything else as this is the British standard - all gases have there own colour. orange/red is the colour for Propane (unless you use patio heater gas from DIY centres which has introduced Lime green/Dark green bottles, as its pleasing to the eye in the garden). People use propane as its easier to get hold of, as you need to contract hire acetylene. If you can use Acetylene you would as you get a hotter flame than with propane.

All very inpressive keep the doors as they are - I thought you had done that on purpose to give an aged effect. Will you be posting a picture of the whole farm or do you have a link to pictures you've done already?

I sold mine for ?80 last year

G & M seem to be the cheapest on UH - I think he must buy a very large qty and due to a having a large order he gets them cheaper than other people. All they have to do is sell the first few at normal/high cost the next few at normal/med cost and then if any left dump them cheap, probably making the same or even better margin than other traders overall. Tractors like the Renault and green Valtra were only ?10 at the show as they are old models. You have to remember if your running a proper business stock plays a major part against your profits so if you clear stock quickly then on paper your buiness can show higher profits.

There advertising them on various websites but I think there taking advanced orders I've lernt over the last year trying to collect all the UH models, is to chill ;D The McCormick blue taught me that I paid ?42 for one now I find them for ?17. I try to get the Ltd ed in some sort of haste but for example the new Xerion just wait you'll see it fall

The reason they are hard to source is that the Valtra dealer network is the only way to get hold of one. They are limited in respect that Valtra have made one order and have no intension of making another at present. So the order was for around 1000. The Valtra rep told me when there gone there gone - how true that is I dont know ??? Some of the UH models which are LTD do not state the quantity on the bottom eg Blue McCorrmick, Blue Valtra, cow print and claas coloured Valtra. I think it is due to the above reason - they arn't made as ltd ed models but they are ltd due to Valtra only buying one batch. the retail on these Blue loaders are 29.99 I was told

Do you have the Bayern deutz - its says 5000 The other was the Stotz Claas but no number on this one. Claas ares 657 with duals is ltd to 2000 Apologise if you already have these

silver valtra says on the bottom 2500 Fendt Petrol Blue says 1500 - 500 of them were in dealer open front boxes Fendt Komunal says 1750 the above are definate as there on the model Cow Valtra Blue Valtra Claas Valtra Blue McCormick Were all supossed to be 1500 but I certainly feel the blue McCormick isn't rare! the rest I would think they were - none of them have the LTD numder on the bottom The Valtra Blue with loader is Ltd to Valtra - if they want they could buy what they like. Hope this helps

Now that was quick! looks good! Do the belts finish at the bottom of the door or has UH made them go all the way around?

A fendt 209f also - Texas shown us a picture on the UH new releases posts. A link to save you looking http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=9866.0

It will be great when its done. Please show us when you've done it.

Welcome to the forum Deere Hunter! :) I don't follow JD sorry but no doubt someone will no on here. Enjoy the forum!

excellent collection :) - do you have the black beauty fendt?

I think you should go for it! make it fold! :) or paint it in kuhn colours Kuhn, Tarrup use this type on their rear mounted mower where they pivot in the middle of the mower bed. Claas follow the dutch design (Lely,Vicon) which has the suspension on the headstock. The main reason with this design is that the dutch require a mower that can cut around 33 degrees for all the ditch bank. This design also allows you to fold up for transport, I but theres a few people out there wish theirs did! ;)? The Khun and Tarrup design cannot do this as the mower will hit its own frame at 12 degrees.

excellent - great detail. :) good way of doing the pictures as well.

very nice job

Yes I see where your coming from but this type of machine is hydraulically driven hense the tractor to the side of the machine and they come with hoppers or elevators to load the machine. :) Below is what I think it is but with a variable chain and slate machine in the frame instead of a fixed chamber The guarding is their new style that is currently been fitted to the big square.

What! you are joking! Its a Variable bale chamber baler combination - the reason its a prototype is that Vicon is the only Variable chamber version on the market - Krone is trying to get in on the act , as fixed chamber combinations cannot do 5' straw. The chamber for Krone is chain and slat wereas most balers are belt. The picture is from europe - you can see the drawbar in the high top link position and not in the uk pickup position

They do what we all do - find a loyal customer and place the machine there FOC to see if he can find the weak points during a normal contractor season.

I think this a prototype - if so you have earn't me some brownie points! ;) ;) Where abouts is it - just for interest of course

Can anyone tell me if the Claas 936 was ever made without the three teir bonnet? ??? They did with the renault.

Thanks - changed
