  1. 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
  2. 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?
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Bought one of these front weights from Universmini via eBay
  7. Nice find Hugh - regret selling the one I had (can say that about more than one model)
  8. 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
  9. My Brushwood breakers yard purchase has arrived today, a Blue Power T6. It was being sold with just broken off beacons so I went for it. Unfortunately the bonnet came off during posting and has resulted in several chips to the paint and the side lights being broken off. I’ve glued the plastic bits back on but I’m not sure what to do about the paint damage.
  10. Bought another Marge T7 HD, this time the Blue Power current version. Although I am very pleased with the new UH T7.300’s I really do like these hefty old things
  11. I’ve seen a Quadtrac with a spreader before, definitely overkill. I am thinking about getting the Kuhn trailed spreader - then I can start helping the neighbours too 😂
  12. I was thinking of getting a trailed fertilizer spreader as there is no top link on the Kuhn Axis I have and the UH Amazone and Sulky mounted spreaders aren’t easy to find - but I don’t think those big spreaders are common around here (I have seen a large Bredal machine for spreading lime however) but there is one tractor the spreader will attach to as the hook on the top link is wide enough to hold it - and that is the Marge T7550. I’ve attached it to the Blue Power version here
  13. you can notice the shorter length of the PLM 270 in the 5th picture
  14. I took these on Tuesday, saw another beet harvester in action, this time a much more modern one. Also a Valmet 6000 spreading some fertilizer
  15. Also had the new T7 tanking slurry too
  16. excellent! Replicagri make some great implements, but they are not the easiest to attach
  17. Found a tractor that I can attach the Claas small baler to. Should manage 😂
  18. maybe - I don't think they sold many of the previous T9s in the UK, though there were a few. There was a farm near Telford who had one though.
  19. What do you think of this New Holland T9 Smarttrax?
  20. I am sure I saw a video of a 23 plate example - dealer demo tractor
  21. I haven't seen one for sale in UK. I have looked for them from time to time as the Imants Spader connects to it.
  22. There was some discussion about using the new T7.300 and parts from the T7.225 to make an older T7 LWB - when I saw the 300 next to the 190 yesterday I thought there wasn’t much difference in length whilst a photo of a 270 I saw on the local papers website recently looked noticeably longer. it appears that the older non PLM T7’s have an overall length of 5773mm whilst the PLM version has overall length of 5517mm with 710/70R38’s and 5594mm on 710/70R42’s. SWB being 5347mm. I suppose an 18 cm difference would be noticeable if you were trying to make he previous generation LWB out of a 300? I did hope UH could make a T7.245 from the new models chassis but that wouldn’t be possible, but still I am very impressed with this latest offering from UH.
