From memory, the driver with moveable arms also came with the Thwaites dumper, LWB LandRover, early SWB LandRover, and the Unimog.

My first paid work was to harass 10 acres of meadow hay with a B275 and a Wuffler

Not sure where you are, but there is the Ilfracombe Machinery Mile out there somewhere.

I read on a model rail forum you can be scanned and 3d printed to scale, so has anyone considered having themselves as drivers - or is that just a little too creepy?

Colour scheme says Thomas, 'Super Six' says County, cab/metalwork says european.

Hi, Two garden/mini tractors and a trailer for sale, been in the loft for years, open to offers. pm me if interested. Ford LGT 145, possibly Ertl 1/12 scale? approx 6" long.

Trailer, Ertl, 1/32 scale? bed approx 5"x3" All to go together if possible.

Eh? Oh, right it said 'burger' on the receipt 😉

£8? Bargain! Went to a christmas tractor light parade last year - £12 for a burger.

The only time I've seen a Deere with a sledge it took six to pull it and the one at the front still needed something red.

Thanks, I did wonder. So next will be 'generate AI photos', followed by 'generate huge false income'?

Slightly off topic, but has anyone else noticed recently some item descriptions have some very strange wording with weird syntax that although it reads correctly it is somehow appears 'generated'. eg. A tractor drawbar... It is compatible with a range of equipment and is ideal for those in the agriculture and farming industries, is made from high-quality materials and is built to last. The brand of this drawbar is Massey Ferguson and it is a part type of hydraulics. The model year is unknown but it is still a useful piece of equipment that can be used to tow a variety of loads. This drawbar is in good condition and is ready for use. Maybe it's just me...

Drained, flushed, and replaced the coolant in the 550. Now trying to clear up the remains of the brown sludge that came out! Needed doing though.

One that turns up on time?

You've just reminded me I should have both of those, and the 2wd versions in the loft somewhere.

Hi Jeff, welcome along. Sorry to hear of your loss, difficult times I'm sure. That's a great collection, it displays well. Did your dad work in the construction industry and collect models of machines he'd seen or used? I'm not well up on construction gear but I' sure others will be able to identify what machines and trucks you have. Personally, if there is room to store or display, then I'd keep it and then could be passed on to the next generation perhaps. If that's not an option then there are specialist toy/model auction houses that could aid in dispersal for you. Unfortunately it's a decision only you can make. Rob.
