Did you write about this chap David, ran it with a Deutz 5130? Nice set up there.

Spot on Joe. A small selection of photos of it appear on page seven of this topic. They like it a lot. There's a bit more horse power on the front of it now. Unfortunately they ran out of patience with the Deutz's reliability and now run a Case IH Maxxum 145 alongside a Luxxum which replaced their  other main tractor, a New Holland TS115.

Rebadged and strengthened so they don’t break as much. Amazone bought Vogel & Noot when they got into trouble the last time. 
 

The NORMAC demo should be going ahead this September, we’re currently looking into getting a plot there. 

Moore Farm Services have sold a few Cayrons around here, although i've yet to see any of the larger semi-mounted Hektor ploughs at work outside of machinery demonstrations. Nice one, fingers crossed NORMAC goes ahead this year, had a very enjoyable time their in 2018.

I remember seeing that one up there and bumping into you , i was looking at 4/5 furrow ploughs and asked at all the dealers at the demo that day if they could demo one at mine after harvest ,they all said they dont have 4/5 on demo apart from Kongskilde, the one they had up there on the day was brand new ,and they later on dropped it of at mine and said get on and use it any problems give us a call ,it had still got most of the paint on the mouldboards' as it had only done a small piece on the day , After ploughing most of my farm with it i gave them a call and said thank you very much for lending it to me ,they said if i was in no hurry to get it of the farm could they leave it there for a few weeks as it was planned to take it up to scotland on demo ,it was still at mine at Christmas time so with Mr Goodwins help we made them a offer which they reluctantly accepted , its a good plough it lays the land over nicely 

Remember it well, decent day that. Chuffed you got sorted with a decent plough. A friend who farms not far from where I live was trying to get a demo of a four furrow reversible and the only one that became available was a shop-soiled Amazone which had sat in a dealer's yard for more than a year. He ended up buying it at a significantly discounted price to replace an old Kverneland from the 1980s. Goes well apparently. To all intents and purposes it's a re-badged Vogel and Noot.

I would love to see a pic of this side by side with Fords or Masseys from the early 70s

Trying to make up my mind between the 1000 and the 1300 to go in front of a trailed silage harvester

No problem at all Stan, once I get it unboxed, i'll have it lined up with a few tractors from that era. 🙂

Would like to see a Claas mega and lexion 400 series as well 

Surprised we haven't seen a Mega from Replicagri yet. A pre-Vista cab version like this.

I'd love it in Case colours for variety's sake,  I have seen a CT5060 working near Wem, Shropshire.

Following the IH 2188, hopefully more combines from that era will come to model form, a decent model of an early Lexion would surely go down well too. 

Agreed, i'd love to see an early green belly Lexion like this 430, or a nice Evolution version like this 470. 🙂

Lovely collection Jan. You've some fantastic models lined up there. Welcome to the forum. 

You're welcome Jan. Four models were part of Case IH's CT range, the CT5050, 5060, 5070, and 5080. They were produced between 2001 and 2005 following the formation of Case New Holland in 1999. Main difference aside from the cab roof, and slightly different panels was that the Case IH versions were powered by Cummins engines. Whilst the CT5050,5060, and 5070 are very rare, there's quite a few CT5080s at work in the UK.
