The Tractor Twitcher

Some brilliant models in amongst those Pete, certainly given me a few ideas for my Spalding "shopping list" Those 55XL series tractors look superb along with all your very nice conversions

Here's my two most recent purchases and a selection of old items my Dad found in an old margerine tub whilst spring cleaning the garage today. The Major and 65 aren't in the greatest of shape, but do hold a little bit of sentimental value.

Two purchases from a local flea market I attended today.

It was a seriously impressive machine when I went to see it, it's still on the same farm and another place i'm hoping to return to this year, as they also run a bubble cabbed Ford TW-25 which I haven't got pictures of, now that would be a nice to see running along side the TF46 Thanks Niels, they're on the way along with lots of other machines Here's the other machine to appear on the Holmer stand last year a big 6 row sugar beet harvester. ....and talking of Lexions here's a second hand 480 seen on the Combine World stand.

Thanks Tris, I've always liked the look of the big TFs, may have to have a ride over this summer to were I saw this one as I think there's a few more working in the area. Some where in a wallet i've some working photos of a TF46 I went along to see on a friend's farm a few years ago, very impressive machine, i'll get them dug out and scanned. I've only ever seen anything like the Holmer in magazines before and in other topics on here, I'm assuming the Terra Variant is a platform machine that can be used with other equipment.

Having seen Niels topic on those astonishing scratch built brass Amac ZM2 self propelled harvesters, here's the Vista cabbed version I spotted in a field on the way back from Driffield Steam Fair. (Apologies for attributing your topic to the wrong forum member mate, drinking beer and reading forums doesn't mix ) Regards David

Wow absolutley stunning work, amazing scratchbuild work in brass Regards David.

Some fantastic working photos there Murray, that Valtra looks very tidy. Regards David

Absolutely superb collection Ziko, love the 1/16 scale 5020, very nicely displayed Regards David.

Amazing scratch build Sean, very, very impressive, looking forward to seeing it finished

That's a cracking conversion for a first attempt at slicing and dicing, very smart ( i'll stick to doing up a cheap plastic friction drive toy before I have the guts to cut something like those up ) Do prefer the styling of the older Agrotrons to the newer versions, there's a few round my neck of woods near Scarborough, look forward to seeing the real tractor too. Regards David

That is one stunning collection you have there Richard, and those cabinets look very impressive Regards David

Very tidy collection you have there Atte, lovely looking line up Fendts Regards David

Wow that is a superb conversion Gerben and an equally impressive collection of big Fords Regards David

Having seen ksp's brilliant photos of big slurry handling equipment abroad, heres a big self -propelled tanker based around a Holmer Terra Variant taken at Cereals last year.

Some impressive models you've got there in a very nice home for them, looking forward to following this

Never seen anything like those ksp, very interesting machine, only ever seen a tractor linkage mounted umbilical system before, keep them coming

Wow Now that's a big pair of tankers, very impressive photos. Regards David.

Some very smart models you've got there ferrit and some sharp photography Regards David.

Would love one of those, cheers guys, it looks absolutely superb.

Some fanstastic pictures there Cerin, TM120 looking tidy and that Dominator 98sl looks very smart Regards David

Yes noticed a very smart Dominator on his website It belongs to a local farmer, bought second hand a few years ago to replace a Senator. More of a slightly newer model on the way Simon, just need to find the photos Cheers Colm, keep finding more and more I forgot I actually had from the past 10 -15 years

Starting with a Claas Dominator 96 taken last year waiting for the ground to dry out.
