Yes it does Paul. I will take a few pictures for you. It is a nice brochure, totally different to anything they've done before.

Have you got the new T8 Auto Command and T6 Auto Command brochures yet then Paul? Also new TC, CX and CR brochures. T4 I picked up as well but not sure how new it is.

Lovely models again David! Here is the real deal of your model:

Photographed this working in Poland last spring. Only difference is that it has black rims, like Stocks duals.

Hadn't bought anything for a while but Agritechnica proved an expensive week!

Challenger MT775E

Challenger MT875E

Claas Lexion 780

Grimme GL 840 Compacta

Krone BigPack 1290 HDP II

Krone Big X 1100

Had originally intended to buy the new TX silage trailer but sadly sold out. Krone had the Big X for sale (both the UH and ROS) for €50 so couldnt resist! With Zwolle on the corner November is a very very expensive month!

Nice find! Haven't seen that 844 XL one before, is there something written after the XL on it? Odd though that the one with the XL-cabbed model pictured only says 844 and the one without says XL??

Aha yes we did it very similar only used hand held gas guns. Would do it through the back door and then front door on a 700T bulk store. Then just have to wait when one of the locals is going to ring the cops as they thought the shed's on fire.

Nice update again, was keeping a close eye for one since I got hooked onto this thread . Nice to see the Jelly potatoes but I would have preferred Melody myself, unless your going for big tubers. What other variety's are grown on the farm and how is the gassing done?

Love the stories and humour that got into this lay out. Plus the buildings and the rest are great to!

Think I will have to do a round for some new brochures soon

It really helps if your involved in real life farming of course. Things like the varietys, seed rates, croppings and cultivation/drilling regimes can be thought out in a more realistic manner. When I was still a full time carpet farmer I would apply my knowledge gained by interrogating farmers and reading farming magazines. Made it more realistic for me. My mum always felt I should move outdoors during summer when I was combining. She wouldn't understand it couldn't be done in January!

Looking at your other work on the grain store etc.. I am really looking forward to the potato box storage. Keep up the pictures and stories!

Have you got any detailed shots of the potato storage Alex? Or is that still empty on the inside?

I reckon that half of what a diorama makes interesting is the story's and thoughts that go behind them. I think you have hit the nail on the head here Alex, fantastic!

I saw this rather impressive Agrifac Condor today,interesting to see it had a Yara N-Sensor on top,Jack,do you know anything about this machine,??

Regards

Joe.

You mean the Condor or the Yara? Condor is the new 2013/14 model (stainless exhaust) with AdBlue FPT-engine (New Holland) in it. Produced in Holland, sold in the UK now for 2 years I think. By the looks of it i'd say it is fitted with 36 or 40m booms. Obviously Claas Vista II cab, GPS comes as standard, 5000L tank and best of all, its build in Holland. http://www.agrifac.eu/en/sprayers/condor3400.html

Ordered my Claas Senator as well. Doesn't look to be as good as the Dominators though... Also ordered a Holmer Terra Dos T3 from the factory. Will be busy with packages coming in from Germany!

Edit: Just had an email from Claas Merchandising. The Senator is limited to 3.000 pieces as well!

You got them quickly Paul! Have only been launched a fortnight ago.

Tier 4 final engine, 12,5m header etc some little bits and bobs like already has been released on the Axial-Flow 30 series.

Haven't you got vibrating motors set up in the tank to help empty it Gav? I agree it is still a pain though, especially when the sample is a little dirty and the seed a bit moist.

The latest additions to my collection. With the help from fellow forum member Paulali I was able to get quite a few brochures that are otherwise difficult to obtain over here.

First picture: JCB Fastrac 3000 Xtra and 8000 Series. MF Centora, Activa S, 9280 Delta and Beta brochures. All thanks to Paul for his help!

Second picture: US-style Case IH Steiger, Quadtrac and Magnum brochures.

Third picture: John Deere T-Series, W-Series and S-Series.

All these came from Paulali. The rest is obtained from Ebay and local dealers.

Fourth picture: Standen Rapide Tanker MkII, Fahr M1600, Krakei potato harvesters, Sprint potato harvester, Krakei 123 pot harvester, Fendt Favorit 611 and 612S.

Fifth picture: Deutz Intrac, Claas Avero 240, 3 different NH TC brochures, JCB Fastrac 1115 & 1135, Krakei SP (Ford 4000 skid) and Miedema range brochure.

Sixth picture: Claas Disco mowers, Lexion 700, Lexion 600 Tier 3B, Valtra S Series and Lexion 500 range.

Was at a Claas dealership the other day and found Wiking's new Claas Arion 650 there. So I could not leave without having one of course.

Aha I see, thanks. The ACT-25 isn't to bad as well. Do Omnivent all the sales, installation and service themselves or have a UK representative?

Underfloor ducting is indeed a lot easier, more storage space etc.. but costs more than you'd think. It does here anyway as you have to put concrete poles underneath everywhere. As long as you don't load with a telehandler the arcs are fine!

Hopefully Omnivent will sort you out. Usually are not a bad bunch to deal with? Have you got the ACT-40 computer in there as well.

Is your storage shed the odd one out or are there more in the area?

So they call it a store scooter with you? Nice to see one abroad. All in all you have a very Dutch store.

New purchases:

Ford TW 20 Britains

Ford TW 30 Britains

JD 4955 Schuco

Versatile 550 Ertl

Ford TW 10 FTF edition

Rory: I will have a look through my collection and see what I can come up with.

Paul: Thank you for the offer, have send you a PM.

I think i'll have a few lying about as well Rory. More than happy to help you out if needed!
