What's your latest farm/Construction buy in 2024
CX820Joe replied to trigger82's topic in General Hobby Discussion
Very nice I have to say, quite weighty too. Hitch is standard Britains one. i would recommend it -
There have been a few tractors going through the town with slurry tankers today - NH T7.225 Blue Power, JD 6150R and 6930 and Case Puma 160 amongst them. More interesting was a Dark Grey Same Explorer which passed here with a McHale bedder attached.

Had these 2 today. I thought I ought to get the 8400 before they all sell out. Very nice imposing model but the front linkage is going to need a spot of glue. the Marge Case Magnum is a replacement for one which came the other day which turned out to have misaligned steering. The replacement one isn’t perfect in the front axle department either so must have been a bad batch but I will put up with it. -

I have bought a replacement for my battered old Fiat Hitachi loader in the form of a Volvo L60H, and also something I’ve been wanting to get for a while, a Britains Ransomes Nordsten drill which is in very nice condition- 247 replies

I would like to add weights to this model but I think the DT ones with the headlights would sit too high up possibly? I wondered whether the ones in the HLT picture would look better? Screenshot from YouTube of a real 4450 by the way

UH didn't have a stand there apparently, but did make some announcements. The piece in CT says they plan to release the four or five combines 'in time for harvest'. Didn't state if that means the 2024 harvest though!

Just reading the Nuremberg report in the latest Classic Tractor which says that as well as the TX 66 and Massey 760, UH also plan to release an NH CR11 and Fendt and MF liveried Ideal combines

I’ve just been watching the Farming With Ford DVD and one of the featured tractors is a Ford 9700 - what I was wondering is what visual differences there are between it and a TW20? It looks to me as though the 9700 had a different front axle and rear wheels and taller air cleaner but otherwise very similar?

There is an article in the Oct 2023 Classic Tractor on a contractor who has used 50 Deeres in the past. Can see two 4450s in his list, one from 1984 and one from 1987

Just replied in your topic Paul but was sent Monday and came today. Parcelforce delivered it. Maybe there wasn’t an issue as it was through eBay - I think the postage was twice the cost of the actual item though so not a cheap way around it by any means. -
I just bought a weight block off the same company (albeit via eBay) and it was sent Monday and arrived today - wasn’t a cheap option mind.

Nice find Hugh - regret selling the one I had (can say that about more than one model) -

I bought this New Holland telehandler off Amazon - I still have the blue one which I quite like and whilst I like the new yellow colour scheme on the new one it should not be black but dark grey. The front lights and mudguards are correct for the old model but they updated them (when they were still blue I believe) so aren’t correct. It still doesn’t look too bad to me though
