The Tractor Twitcher

Great to be back out covering a farm sale today, lovely to hear an auctioneer's voice again. Some tidy well looked after kit off a small dairy farm on the Notts / Leicstershire borders.

Great attention to detail, fantastic work really well described and explained.

Cereals looks like its due to go ahead on 30th June / 1st July Phil. I'm hoping to attend Driffield and Great Yorkshire Shows in July all being well. NORMAC could well be on, and i've the British National Ploughing Championships penciled in my diary in October along with a few vintage /classic working days. Everything crossed.

Fantastic tractor John, one of two tidy examples this farm owns. 🙂

The short-comings of the Hercules are just about disguised by the grills in the side panels, whereas they're plain to see on the Lamborghini which looks utterly atrocious from every angle. There's some decent clear shots of the Lambo on the Brushwood website. Yet to see the Hurlimann version but can't imagine it being much better. I bought the Same, but definitely won't be buying the others. I'd sooner spend the £120+ on something a lot more accurate. The FM-Modellbau versions are the best by miles, and some of the best resin 1/32nd scale models out there. *Edit.......Just searched for the Hurlimann on Google, and whilst it doesn't look great proportionally like the others, the Lambo still looks by far the worst and this largely down to the size of the gap between the Lamborghini decal at the top of the side panels and the 1556DT decal below. The gap between them is twice as deep as what it should be and this highlights further how far out the proportions of the model are compared to the Same and Hurlimann versions.......Might yet get the Hurlimann now, but its no where close to the top of my current shopping list.
