Newfie T7070, Fendt 828, or Fendt 936 would be my three choices to put in front of it.

7810 & Pottinger mower (Britains Vicon upgraded by PDC) 7810 SJ & Pottinger mower (Britains Vicon upgraded by PDC) T6020 & Pottinger rake (Siku rake upgraded by PDC) T6090 & Pottinger Jumbo T7070 & Pottinger Jumbo JCB Farm Master.

I'm pretty sure I have a brochure for the Someca version that I got at a show in France in the 70s.

Met a truck on the road today with "Humanitarian Aid" written across the front of the cab - and a lowloader with 21 ton track machine onboard hitched on't back.

Fendt 930 with a 14 tonne NC dump trailer behind it. "I feel sorry for that little trailer" as someone said as it left the yard. Fendt 716 drawing silage with a Dooley. Numerous and assorted John Qs with Smyths, Broughan and Dooley trailers on. Claas 870 Greeneye, and Claas 900.

On SPN Farms this will be replacing two Hesstons, and a T6090 will be replacing two Fendt 818s, so I reckon I'll save the €70 on 1:32 wages and diesel in no time.

The back window needs to be gone completely. Otherwise, excellent.

The next time FNHIR and I head to Spalding we'll be bringing a set of T6090 decals to slap on that in the dark of night. Whilst I still believe that the best tractors come from Basildon, St Valentin is a close second. Best of luck with it.

I'm just surprised they didn't badge it Fiat/Someca.

This one was near your place, west of carrigbyrne hill.

I saw a 500 on the road a few weeks ago. Had never seen one before. Spent many a day hanging off the back of a 30 back in the 70s. Superb machine.

Coming from the master, that's a real compliment.

Somebody in the morkeshing department wants it to happen, and they have the budget to make it happen.

What a wee beastie. *

The Pottinger would be okay for 1980s dioramas. It's been around for quite a while.

The 135 was always a popular beet seeding tractor around here too. For the wheels, I'm thinking the PAVT wheels from the UH 590 might lend themselves to being set at a wider spacing if you are going for a bigger tractor.

Around these parts it was the Webb that was most common - although I think there might have been a connection between Stanhay and Webb.

Soil temps around here only broke through 10 deg C early this week, but the growth in the last few days has been amazing. Prolly 5 weeks before we'll see the rampage starting.

Absolutely awesome Mr P. Can't wait to see the finished item.

The mouse decided to sample the wensleydale cheese I left out for him. The cat is now sampling the dead mouse. Result.

All seen along the N25. Valtra at the Maldron Hotel N25/N11 roundabout. Fendt and John Q at turnoff for Adamstown near Camaross. MX190 at Carrigbyrne, and MX310 at Cushinstown. The guy at Ballinaboola with the 2wd 7840 & TSA135 appears to have traded the 7840 for a 4wd Landini. I hate it when that happens.

Shiny new (unregistered) Magnum 310 and Horsch Terrano. Fendt 930 and Vaderstad Carrier & John Q 7*20 with a cultivator I couldn't quite see. MX 190 & Vaderstad Drill.

Not just a redecal. It also has the mods that the new model has, such as the AdBlu tank.
