The local farms CX8070 was out again yesterday, possibly near the end of its seasons work now in a field near the canal. Earlier in the day I went to a car boot sale in Herefordshire and in the field next to where the sale was there was a Same Explorer and Taarup mower at work

The demise of the scratch builder? 10 years on
CX820Joe replied to Stabliofarmer's topic in General Hobby Discussion
It’s a shame a lot of the smaller tractors have been overlooked, would love a Ford 4000 or 4600, and a John Deere 2650/2850 would be good also. 3D printing just seems to get better all the time, I am seeing some brilliant stuff these days, Ian’s grain dryers for example. But there is still a place for scratch builders, probably could take all day listing gaps the main manufacturers have missed so far -

I bought myself a Replicagri NH 8360 and a TM150 to join my existing TM140. I do like Replicagri models but their top links are very fiddly aren’t they? -

I was pleased to see the TM with those decals but something about it seemed wrong, I thought the 155 was the largest of those smaller framed tractors at the time. -

The T6 wheels need to be consigned to history - I wonder who thought they suited a model - any model! -

I thought the same, I thought it would come out around the same time as the Puma and the Steyr 6280 -

I bought this little IH724 a while ago, not my usual cup of tea but I liked this one and it’s ideal to tow the header of the Claas Dominator. Also a Valtra Valmet off Amazon. Thought it might have potential for some improvements but now I am not so sure -

Even if that decimal point moved left once it would be steep wouldn’t it?

That looks good, and it doesn’t look like it had the overly wide rear wheel track of the previous 7Rs

A few combines from today: Firstly a Lexion 770 which is owned by a big egg producing business, in the youtube video from when they first got it, the farm manager said they grew 3500 acres of cereals, so its covered some area. Secondly a Dominator 202 Mega which replaced a pair of International 531s in 2017, and thirdly a tracked Lexion 480 Evolution which has been on the same farm since at least 2009.

I tried the Imber weight which I thought was just the job but it doesn’t sit level on the linkage hence why I want to attach something the A frame. May do something similar with the T7.220 as well - the weight off a UH T7/Case Puma is better than the one it came with but still not great - though it would have to be something plastic for that as the links are quite loose, despite repeated tightening -

Yes I’d seen some possible candidates on HLT. Would like to have something like the set up in this photo of a T7030 I took a few years ago (traffic cone optional) -
Seen on Toys Farm Facebook page 3 new Replicagri releases: Renault 1151-4 4wd New Holland TM165 (blue/yellow decal) Same Centauro 4wd

This trailer has just arrived. Very nicely detailed and built model - I know they’re not sold in the UK but it was cheaper than another Rolland and the right size. -
