True mate but all that is in a good home now. And if I was going to get back at it i would ofcourse be running a Deere machine ;)

Have a look here mate: http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,18768.msg404695.html#msg404695 And here is how i built it: http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,21321.0.html Jez

The wheels need some new bearings Sean Looks great mate. Well done

Beautiful * What scale ? Any more information?

HA... I didn't say i had some to give away... :of Yes, the frame was the main change, a revolutionary design in the industry. As for the engine argument, not sure as russia and south america don't have any restrictions on their emmissions.

Ouch, that massey looks a mess........ [ And Ricky's story sounds bad too..... Shame really that people don't realise that the gears, brakes and tyres are not designed to go that fast. Lesson to all.... this could of been much worse

I think so sean, and then one with Front Suspension.... TLS. Not that rare really

Different, the 6000 series was the first frame tractor, engine and transmission was now in a frame. Not sure on specifics but a new build and new design....

Yup, and 30 series Tier 3... and so on and so on....

the 10 series had Tier 1 engines, that was the intoduction of restrictions on emmissions. As for other details, cab colours, a few changes to the transmission options and hydraulics but mainly the engine.

Personally I used to use a small saw. This cut brass and plastruct, it was very thing and was great. As for getting angles..... I used to have to file the final angle using sand paper.... I know Blake (TM190) used a hot wire cutter.... Maybe PM him?

Looking nice. What decals are they mike? Also..... Did Ertly make a 6200? I thought it was a 6400? Could it be a numpty reversal?

Amazing work mate as per usual!! 8) 8) I salute you! ;D

Green mate...

Are you sure a 960 jag can chop willow??

OOOOOOOOOOOOH Yes... that is the machine... Best mashine on the market... 8)

Siku as a business have to put their investment into what amkes the most money. I casnnto imagine that farm toys are making that much right now, plus with the financial situation i am not suprised by the lower number of models than expected. Plus, when you think about making a new model it is generally planned 2 years ahead of production (well that is what we are currently working on) so then you need time for design, new tooling to make the model, make sure it will sell etc etc.... I think that this is a sign of things to come, I mean look at the offering from Britains... not good still... Lets jsut hope that the fantastic models from Wiking and Weise don't get fewer as the manufacturer's develop.

Very Nice Sean

Well mate, You wanted an opinion... Careful with the paint, it looks very thick to me and maybe some of the details will be lost? Also you need to change the cab interior to a normal 7000, no commandarm armrest etc.... In general though, looks good. Are you going for a 7X00 or a 7X10 series? Check on the weights, I am pretty sure the 7X00 didn't ave that weight. Keep going though, looking good.

Not sure mate sorry

But why a 1:50 scale forestry harvester and a 1:32 scale forwarder? Or am i wrong?

On conviction this could involve a fine of up to £1000 for each offence, with perpetrators possibly facing additional civil proceeding. If the local authority is called to clear away the debris, this could cost the miscreant at least £400. Individual cyclists are best placed to report such incidents. They are urged to do so in the interests of other road users. This should be done by making a formal statement to a police officer.
