Looks interesting

The doors open

A re-decal, plus a couple of other changes - the most obvious being a bar axle instead of flange, addition of an adblu tank, and it is autocommand instead of powercommand

They are very hard to find. I know because I'm trying to source two of them at the moment to replace my two Fendt 818s, CP Agri uses one in his diorama, as do a couple of other people. Here's some pics from the CP diorama. http://www.farmtoysf.../16642-cp-agri/

Yep. It's the same engine that's in the 8970/G240 so there's a few more ponies to be screwed out of it.

welcome back to the weird side The TM190 will be under pressure with 24 tonnes of slurry behind her. I'd be putting the T7070 under the Joskin tank instead. The rear linkage on the T7070 is fine for most UH/Siku/Britains implements although the geometry can be a bit weird in the raised position. The front linkage is a smidgin narrower than the UH fittings and the Weise fittings. My front mower (a Pottinger, made by PDC) is set up to go on an A frame and the Weise A frame is very tight to get on the T7070. Even the Imber A frame is tight to get on the T7070. But they will go on. Here's a pic of it with the UH GB Planidisk on the front.

SPN Farms' replacement policy sees the CX880 coming up for replacement next year. Looks like there might be an alternative to a Tucano after all.

Just looking at the original pics on the Bossen Implements website: If the 390 was dropped onto 34" wheels it would look a whole lot better. Likewise the 690. (Sean, would a 690 have had 14x34s or 16.9x38s in real life). It also needs a proper front axle. (edit: The axle is proper for a 4wd, but the mock-up has 2wd wheels on a 4wd axle) I'm guessing these are handmade mockups from an early stage that went to AGCO for approval of certain design features. They are almost definitely not the finished article. God help whoever leaked them to Bossen.

Where are the photos of the original resin mock ups? They looked to be bang on the mark.

Those are bad. Those are really really bad! They are Britains Ford 5000 bad.

It does take a day or two .......

Weise Fendt 822, Repliagri New Holland 110-90 terracotta w duals, Bonnel Multicultur, and Claas Jaguar 60SF from Reisinger in Germany. He has the Jaguars on special offer for €25.50, so that covered the postage and made the other three very good value indeed. http://www.rwmt-reisinger.de/product_info.php?products_id=3864

Why not swap the 7530 for a T7.210 like most farmers are doing?

Martyn Reeves MFM Massey 165

UH Claas Matador, at long last. Now to get a Dad's Tractors Ransomes trailer to go with it.

I use the free version of AVG. Every so often they give a trial of the main product, so I upgrade and do a full cleandown of the machine. Have never found anything that had gotten through the free version.

Those rams wouldn't last a week in real life

Here in South East Ireland it is virtually all wheeled loaders that are used by the contractors - JCB, Volvo and O&K.being the most common. Telehandlers tend to be used by larger beef and dairy farmers who cut their own silage (in partnership with neighbours in many cases) but are very rare. (I can only think of one farmer who used a Manitou for a couple of years, but then bought an old JCB wheel loader specifically for silage because the Manitou wasn't up to the job). I've never seen a front mounted buckrake on a tractor in Ireland, or a rear mounted buckrake servicing a high output self propelled outfit.

Can't decide between the DBP County 1174 and the DBP County 1184

Looking good. Have you considered dropping the front weights to save on diesel?

Fiat 1580 2wd

That's the biz. Well done.

Have we any pics of the Britains and Marge models side by side?
