Hillview

Fitted to tractor. I chose a UH MF 7499. It fits onto UH tractors and front linkages. The back sprayer fits onto the pick up hitch. It is not suitable for non UH tractors. The front tank fits on easily.

A very detailed model. Note the transport wheels on the front tank, cloth straps and level indicators. Note the sprayer washer lance and reel. The sprayer is also piped. You can see the pipes at the bottom.

I have decided to look at the Amazone UF 1801 sprayer with FT 1001 Front Tank. This is made by universal hobbies and retails for around £55. It comes complete with instructions. It is screwed and tied into the box. Takes abit of time and care.

MF 3120 by Jan MF. An excellent detailed conversion. I'll let the pictures do the talking!

Hillview is becoming increasingly environmentally concious. All the auditors are looking for it now.

Unfortunately they aren't ideal for Hillview's veg crops. You never know.

Should be a good base for conversionists. Will be interesting to see what changes they will make.

These are not prototypes. These are the real thing. The mesh is filled in. As others have already said Britain's produce toys not models. These are designed for the 'carpet farm.' However in my opinion with a little bit of work they are not far away from a scratch built Kane. Good value for £15. Should be able to have 2 or these instead of a scratchbuilt trailer. Alot of 'carpet farmers' will have fun with these. Things like the mesh, the shoe, wheels need changing but they are not major. I think it's a winner for both carpet farmers and model collectors. Well done Britains.

It has a steering axle.

The Kane Half pipe has been out on demo in NI with Moira Model Club. First to try out the new Kane was Hollytree Farm Agri Contracts. A new Fendt 724 was drawing alongside the Claas 970

The first batch is supposed to have white wheels then the next batch will come with silver wheels.

Looks well. You have changed the boards from the slatted ones. Did you make the boards or use them from another model?

Thanks to Mark for sending me brochures on the MF 32 unit seeder. Here is a picture of the seeders.

What width are the booms in real life and in model scale? Thanks.

With too many models coming out I have decided to narrow my collection down. I will concentrate on an MF/AGCO theme. I will also collect the odd scratchbuilt and conversion model that interests me. Quality rather than quantity is my aim for my model collection.

Thanks. I see a few people are using image shack.

I know that I can do that as well but the photos appear smaller then and to see them you have to click on them to see. My computer takes a while to load them up sometimes.

Is there any alternative to using photobucket? Photobucket can be a pain at times. I was wandering does anybody on here use another programme and how do they rate it. Thanks.

Thanks for your help everyone.

Thanks Dominic.
