have a scan through farmodels.nl, , you may need to go through a few of the sections in the parts area, but they have loads of parts available. postage can be a bit high from holland, but theres ways round that via another seller who buys in bulk and then sorts uk postage once all the customs stuff is done ,if the bits you want are there i can then post that link for the uk guys

Not touched mine in a month, currently doing my bathroom at weekends so no time . Got 8 kits printed and unmade  at the min along with 6 made and painted just no decals ect 

Good few fields cut and gone around dobwalls way on my travels in cornwall this morn . few cut  and not up yet, doesn't look to be that great a first cut , and a fair few “stuck” marks and skid marks where stuff has turned, guess maybe they have gone for it so they can plough and plant maize maybe ?? As that must be due planting soon 

there are a few french ones about down this way paul,know of at least 2, 856 xl  out on dartmoor, ones always on a  bush wacker,parks near cornwood, the others on a farm out princetown way. both 4wd .they have the full rounded arches, ones that limited edition  version with the white stripes on the bonnet and cab, and red on the wheels .

if it does come out i suspect it will be a new holland commission rather than uh doing it of their own back  ,to be honest it doesn't look to bad, seen a lot worse 

wonder if this will appear in 2024,the new holland t7.300 done for the 60th anniversary 

that will be pete the guy who did them for the show, not sure if its unfair, he prob wont have made a huge amount on each one he did for them anyway, so why not make a bit of profit, as we always say “you don't have to buy “ 

the 61’s and 81’s were terrible for the electronics so i was told ,i know my cousins had a 81** (number eludes me)  and had nothing but issues with it, always had the dealer round. it was traded as soon as they could when the 82’s came out,polar opposite tractor ,have only just traded that in for a 8s265 recently, they have always had 1 massey even if other brands come and go,

wont be the same i am sure, you will pay normal prices for one without me 😂😂😂 next year if we are all up i certainly am, will have to juggle holiday but i will be trying to get there for sure .

surprised its not got the newer updated rear hitch of some sort, looks ok otherwise .

Are you flying out or driving?

we normally meet up at a friend place  and leave 3 cars there, then share 1 car across via the harwich ferry, usally an overnight sailing  thursday eve, then back overnight sunday eve so we can do two days, am going to really miss it this year but its just fallen wrong date wise and holiday allowance wise for me, hopefully it will go back to its November dates next year with any luck .

sadly as discussed i cant do this year, not enough holiday left and its only a couple of weeks after my main holiday so i am at my limit for that period already,will leave it go you guys to find us a nice hotel(lumin standard minimum) 😂😂😂 would love to have attended mind

How easy would it be for the model to be scaled up and printed at 1/32?

the seller could easily do it, buying a file then resizing isn't that easy as you don't know what scale its formatted in stl file wise. can be done but takes some working out 

those david leech pics are david laleys pics from memory,he friend with them?? or knows them very well from memory .

Amazing work Sean👍

cheers ian, did 3 combines builds in a row, my mf625 spuer 2 was first, followed by a jd 965,poss a 975( cant remember😢😢😢 age thing 😂) then this, was also a collins teleshift done the same time .

Hi mark welcome to the  forum. Sound like my sort of eras your thing for sure. Keep your eyes peeled as  hopefully  soon will have the pettit and ransome trailers for sale, just working on decals n between work and her indoors and her jobs to do round the house 😂😂😂 have done a scratch built one in the past aswell 

wondered why my cousin was messaging me yesterday to keep an eye on the tns facebook page yesterday, turns out they have just added this ex demo mf8s265 to their pair of class axions. hes sort sort of sad as the mf8420 has been traded in on it.but i am promised a drive next time i get up there along with the a ions as well 

looks like a rebadged 1255 / 1455 to me,bar maybe the wheel size , wasnt the 956 was smaller than them 

just back from fitting two big windows 2.6 m x 1.3m ,at my brothers, both bedroom ones, bloody heavy compared to what came out . took longer to get the old ones out mind screwed. glued and some sort of resin holding them buggers in, 2 hours to get each one out  ,about 35 mins to get the new ones back in 

while waiting for paint to dry on 2 trailers,and after assembling two others, i got round to sorting a scrap uh mf1250 chassis i had, been on the cards since i did the 1200, but until now i didnt have any wheels just tyres ,so printed a set up,rear end fitted witha replicagri 188 back end, and painted, door working, nothings fully fitted yet as a few bits to sort yet 

i think its for the garden/ floral sets, seen someone selling a full set on facebook recently and i am sure that one was in the bundle, 

i think you remove the 0 from your number,also thought it was the # not + ,so its #44 7843****** if that make sense sure thats i have used in the past 

uh massey 8270 extra on floats, wasn't. to keen at first ,looked a bit odd ,but i have the rest of the 82’s done and it was a good 20 quid cheaper than the others i have seen and keeps the collection complete as such

Nice little 2.5Kw ceramic fan heater Sean, But me being a pensioner these days, £ 1.40 an hour would be expensive if used to much, The heated picture is only 450W would cost less than 15p an hour.

Regards

Joe.

got 4” of celotex insulation in the walls of the shed, and roof,and double glazed door and window,,saved them from my old porch when we did the extension, so once i get it warm it does stay like it,so hopefully once its hot ,i wont need to run it like the old one needed to,.either way,got to be warmer 😂😂😂
