This new machinery shed is out, it’s quite small but looks ok. The Replicagri Claas combine fits inside but it’s too small for the larger ones. It was a bit of a pig to put together as well

That does look nice, I think I prefer that blue to blue power if I’m honest

I bought this Case 4894 off Amazon, I don’t know whether to keep it or not though.

I think this is more likely the Case IH version painted yellow as a decoy - the rear end styling looks very different to the CR and much more like CIH to me.

Local farm was cutting barley yesterday, took this photo on the phone, combine was quite a long way away from where I was standing

There is a thread on The Farming Forum and thats reporting that its a CR11.90, one post says one will be going to Dorset this year. I couldn't post a link to the thread, wouldn't work. There are 4 pages with a few photos, also some of a new Case prototype flagship. The thread also reports the NH has a V20 900 horse power engine.

I guess the huge header may not be available over here? Its an impressive looking combine though, I wonder what the power plant will be

Could this be the rumoured CR11.90?

I’ve bought this Lemken Smaragd cultivator and my plan is to pair it up with a T7.315 with another of the same tractor for the drill, the T8 will go back in its box for now.

I ordered the 175 from a site which didn't have the new one in stock yet, and I'd forgotten about the new one, I didn't think it was out yet, but then realised its the bigger one which hasn't been released yet. It does look very good though, so I might get one.

I’ve bought this Case Puma 175, I wanted something to break up the blue and this fits the bill nicely. Another model where the screws were that tight I had to drill them out though.

seen this on youtube, its 56 mins long.

I think they had been spotted at a past Agritechnica and posted on here, I’ve definitely seen them somewhere and I was hoping they would be a proper release as I really like that styling, the MF would be my ideal combine really if I had the choice. Shame they weren’t put into general production though.

A Clayton Buggi?

I think that Combine was made by Ros, and there was possibly an MF version too. I am sure I saw they were very limited or manufacturer promotional models so very lucky find there

Thank you for the suggestions, I don’t have a lot of space but I can’t display it all at once, just a bit at a time, so a bigger machine is ok. Ideally I want my T8 to be the cultivations machine and then a T7.315 would be on the drill, I would also use a 3m combi drill plus play around with some older Fords to do the ‘small fields around the farm’ and give me an excuse to keep a Dominator combine to get into the tight spots.

I couldn’t believe how light the Trion was and how much plastic they’ve used in it, especially considering how much the model costs. At least the grain tank opens, the hinges seem more fragile than the Lexion though. I’ve seen it described as ‘Siku like’ but I am sure Siku used a lot more metal in their combines!

Someone asked this on another site, it was what farm vehicles in France used to carry before the days of flashing beacons

Which cultivator would be ideal to run ahead of the Vaderstad Spirit drill? Thinking either a Bednar Swifter or Lemken Rubin, but would a plough be a contender too?

The Wiking Lexion is a very decent model, most of the bigger real ones seem to have tracks but the tracked versions are very hard to find now, and the tracked Trions have sold out now too I think, not that I could justify buying one to rob the tracks off it. I bought the Montana version which could always pair up with the Conspeed maize header or something, but despite looking very nice the Trion is not Wikings finest hour.

Convio header on an older generation Lexion works for me too 😂

And that background on the Fordson looks like Barrys @Udimore to me? (Nicked photo?)

I put a Schuco John Deere 7800 on ebay recently, it was the latest in a long line of re-releases of a familiar model, which I had tried to change to a 7810 by use of a badly cut out sticker. I considered removing it and putting it on in original form but I decided to leave it on, thinking the buyer could always remove it if so intended. But I was fully aware it was a model which was still available and wasn't expecting to retire on the proceeds. I was astonished when it shot up to £160 but I also wondered if it was a time waster as I'd already blocked someone who messaged saying they would pay £20 for it and then upped their offer to £150 and £200. Then there was a bid retraction, so it dropped to £112 (still too much) and then it went up again to £160, same high bidder who had previously withdrawn their bid. Then they ask if they can pay after their holiday, which I wasn't best pleased about but said if they did win it and couldn't pay straight off there wasn't much I could do about it. Then they ask why I am selling such a rare model - I tell them its not rare, and then they want to cancel their bids which I do - then it drops to £38! Then just before it finishes it starts rising again but the winning bidder doesn't want it because they'd been outbid and had bought the model elsewhere! So it ended up being relisted. The moral of the story (if indeed you've got this far) is: always read the description!

I like it - even if its got a face only a mother could love 😁

Just saw these classics leaving the classic car show today, there were a few more but I missed them
