Bought a 6S and a 7S

First purchase of 2024, from Amazon - Britains New Holland T6.180 Blue Power. Not bad at all for a toy.

Cracking Hugh- love the 728 especially

This morning 2 of Wikings latest releases went past - a Fendt 728 and a JD 6R 250 with 6 furrow ploughs

The Steyr is a beauty!

Thank you to Ben @FendtFarmer for this Amazone Catros which pairs up well with the LWB T7.

I was going to post earlier to see if anyone had heard any updates on those T7.300s and then saw them on Facebook. They look very good to me.

It does look very good though it’s not very diorama friendly in the linkage department - maybe the UH one will be more so. I haven’t had a proper go at trying to fit implements to it yet though

There is a limited edition version of the Xerion coming on dual wheels

Some other recent additions Schuco Deutz 8280 Wiking Xerion 4500 Marge T7550 Blue power

That’s interesting to know thanks Jack I will have a look on there . It comes with a long floppy pipe but no bracket Paul.

I’ve been looking out for this Kuhn one pass combination to become available again for a good while now, and this week it appeared again. I need to think of something else to represent the seed pipe though.

It’s usually the closing of the local factory which sees the crop disappear - I see the Coupar one closed on economic grounds in 1971. The Shropshire (Allscott) factory closed around 2003 and that saw sugar beet all but disappear but a few farms still grow it and have it taken to Newark, with others growing it for fodder as well. I think the Allscott factory was rail served but I don’t know when they ceased moving it by train. It used to be a big part of the Irish state railways freight business moving beet but I think that ceased some years ago too.

I saw the black 7499 on there too for £36 and didn't swipe it at the time, now someone else has - there was an 8280 as well and thats gone as well

Saw a black JCB 435 going up the road past here this morning, closely followed by a JD 6250r and a 6R 215 with K Two trailers and then a couple more JDs as well. More surprised to see a Claas Lexion 7700 with a maize header coming back in the other direction shortly afterwards though

Looks like it? Hopefully another they can do as well

Saw this on NH instagram earlier

Yesterday a Fendt 728 and a JD 6250r went past here and looked the same size. 728 looks massive., I thought it was a 9 series till I saw the cab roof.

Would it take much work for Marge to release the T7550 as the earlier TVT? Is it a case of just a different cab roof or would there be more to it than that?

Or maybe they just sold them all…

Actually found the McCormick on eBay and it’s not a ridiculous price

Any sign of the Landini/McCormick?

I should have left the one I bought in the box and made out it was a show model too 😂

Like this you mean Hugh?

A direct drill like a Claydon or a Mzuri would be most welcome from a mainstream manufacturer
