  1. I couldn't get on with the linkage for one thing Phil, wanted to use it for the Fert spreader but it wouldn't stay raised, and if you locked the linkage the spreader was tilted too far forward, also the weight didn't want to sit on the front linkage either. Very nice model, as was the Ros 6140, though the wheels were spaced out too far on that. Have stuck to old faithful UH Valtras, plus the Wiking 214 I bought off you. Doubt I will get the 8280 now.
  2. Very nice Phil, did it have the issue with the gummy tyres? I got rid of my 6165 in the end, I have just kept the Wiking Deutz in fact.
  3. Thanks Joe I thought Dave had shut up shop. Will drop him a line.
  4. I see Paul, looks so much better. I would have had a 135 for the scraper if it had those mudguards - doubt I'd be able to get them now though.
  5. What about marge acrobat tedder Paul? Not sure how available they are now though? Which model is that one, it has decent looking mudguards, the one I have seen for sale doesn't appear to have any
  6. Unfortunately the Same is wonky, going to try and sort it out. If I can't it's stay may be brief
  7. That looks brilliant with the weight on it Paul, I think that was what let the model down having the naff Siku linkage. What is the weight from?
  8. These arrived today UH Same Virtus 120 and Valtra N111 from G&M, and Siku JD Gator from One32. All sent yesterday and here today, excellent service.
  9. That is amazing Paul, I had one of those and I wished I'd kept it too! Very hefty model especially for 12 quid!
  10. Yes was a nightmare, as I'd been after a UH Xerion for ages, I like those old ones. I'd trimmed the linkage of the Britains one so I could put the Siku Holaras maize blade on it, using the reverse drive, as I've seen done in real life.
  11. That was never a bad model Paul, and easier to find than the Wiking. I did have the Britain's one as well, which I thought was very good as well - I only got rid of it as I'd bought a Xerion 3800 instead (which got lost in the post so I ended up with no Xerion at all)
  12. ...or you could just say the old exhaust had got very rusty and you've had a new one fitted as per one featured in new Classic Tractor? It's nice to see that Claas, always liked that shape of Challenger. Would be very nice to see a re release of them, unlikely though.
  13. Cheapest I've seen the New Holland online is £199.99. Not sure whether you would get it any less from an NH dealer? Maybe worth checking with Claas dealer too if you decide to go for that one?
  14. I think your right Phil, though the ROS one is very good as well, apart from the graphics on the tyres. The sticky wheel issue isn't quite as bad on the Weise one now. I think it would look better with beefier tyres though, the sidewalls seem too small somehow
  15. Does anyone else have the Wiking Deutz, and if so are the front wheels quite 'wobbly' on yours? Not sure if it's designed that way.
  16. No can't find one Phil, or the green one....therefore got this:
  17. I got rid of my Krampe trailer to be honest, though this appeals...
  18. Had this today, Wiking Deutz TTV630, I have been after one for a long time. Hopefully i can find a replacement mirror but am chuffed to finally find one.
  19. Thanks Mike, G&M have a 120 which they kindly said they'd keep for me for a bit. Ros do seem to charge more for their models - the Deutz 6140 is a nice model but not as much metal in it as the XM120 (which I expect weighs the same or similar to the Virtus 120). I would quite like to get that Ros 140 though too at some point as it looks very nice. The lack of printing on the tyres is another incentive
  20. The recently arrived Hurlimann XM120 with Weise Deutz front weight and GB Precilitor. Had intended this for the fert spreader but the linkage wont stay raised, the tow pin is too big. i hope to get rhe Same equivalent to this tractor at some point
  21. I bought this in a charity shop in Aberaeron for a fiver 😄
