Got this little New Holland T4.65 for a yard tractor

Surprise surprise, another Valtra T! Quite liked this colour so grabbed one from Ebay.

Thanks Phil, your welcome. Glad she has arrived safely.

I will do, I am not sure when it will appear now though.

Ah not good Mike, I ordered the Wiking Manitou and Amazone Drill from me to me which I was hoping to have yesterday, but I'm not sure when I'll get them now. Not due to the French border being closed though, other circumstances.

Are these worth this much now or is someone being over hopeful?

Current fleet: Valtra T214/T163/T191/T190 Valtra S352 Valtra N143 Valtra 6850 New Holland 110-90 Fiat 110-90 Volvo BM Valmet 705 New Holland LM5060 telehandler Claas Scorpion 7044 telehandler Deutz Fahr C9206 combine Evrard 3000 sprayer Still have a Fendt 1050, 936, 828 and 415 squirreled away, decided on Valtra fleet as there arent so many as I've noticed. Fendt Ideal remains also, that's kept away as is the Vredo 7028 tanker. A couple of photos of recent acquisitions, the lovely ltd edition 6850 by Toys Farm/UH and the NH telehandler. I think it's a great looking machine, I sold the first one I had as the front wheels pointed in different directions, but this one is spot on. From what I've read they weren't very good, but still, I think they look the part.

There was a farm near where I lived in the early 1990s, this was their tractor fleet as i can remember it: Leyland 270/272? X 3 Leyland 802 Marshall 802 Marshall 804 Fiat 1000 DT Deutz DX120 Deutz DX6.30 They used the Leylands mainly on Farrow irrigators for the potatoes and general work, was a great farm for interest back in the day. Just have a couple of New Holland's and a JD now. Looking great there John, are you thinking of the later yellow versions as well?

I would love that little 2wd version, it would make an ideal scraper tractor, but it would be too precious a model for that sort of treatment.

I clicked on the link and now my Ebay app keeps asking me if I am still interested in it! Guess what ebay, no I'm not!

Despite all the classics coming out, I really hope you are right about the Kane tri axle trailer!

The S780 combine and, now brace yourself....the sheep set are out already

hmm Ford 6600 as well There should be a run on the old ones going on ebay hopefully now!

Love it Martin, looks brilliant.

I read that article, may still have it actually. Harping on about it being a Lambo when it was plainly an X720 Deutz! Nice machine all the same.

I like that, very good

Fingers crossed Paul, I hope it fits, I couldn't quite fit it to the tractors I wanted so am going to try and find a 4m trailed drill without needing the front press. Pity as its a darn fine model!

It's a nice looking model Paul, a shame it doesnt have the tow hitch but looks fine with the mounted implements. Presume the Amazone drill would be good for it if you took the UH style hitch off?

One for IH 885XL man here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/International-674-tractor-1-32-scale/133576877935?hash=item1f19cd676f:g:tg8AAOSwrEJfsNi0

Blimey, I remember asking for that for my 10th birthday and it cost £10.99 I think! That was 35 years ago mind! I don't think I'd be 250 quid worth of nostalgic to own another though

This is doing pretty well but the postage seems a bit steep to me. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Hobbies-UH2867-New-Holland-T6090-1-32-scale/303769123102?hash=item46ba0cf91e:g:SzkAAOSwWSxfsYCH

Whilst I am sure the Deere re releases will be welcomed widely, surely one Deere, one Ford (6600 for example) and an IH 956 would have been better? Good variety and all seem sought after these days?

It does look a lot better without them, even reduced to one would have been something as per Phil's conversion. Never mind now though!

The Massey looks great Paul, I had one too but I didn't like the wheel weights - i tried to remove them but was worried about damaging the rims. I gave up in the end and sold it!

I did dither over getting one years ago, never did as I think I heard the tyres weren't usual for the real thing. I wondered about getting the UH 1474 and changing it to an 1884, but saw a few examples with wonky front wheels and was put off by that too!
