SPN replied to Tractorman810's topic in General Hobby Discussion
Are the rear wheels modelled on 34 inch or 38 inch? -

Universmini do a couple of different A frames that you can hang weights off. They also do weights from different manufacturers. -
Thanks for that.

They were sold by McGees of Ardee back in the day. Not sure if they came in fully built or came in kits to upgrade 4 cylinder models

Blue and white collections are always the best collections 😁

What's your latest farm/Construction buy in 2023
SPN replied to Tractorman810's topic in General Hobby Discussion
Finally got the T6.180 Methane, along with the MF510, a WELLY Mercedes Actros, ERTL Peterbilt & Lowloader, KUHN merge max, Wacker Neuson and Yanmar track machines, the MB Trac flavoured 4220, and at long last I managed to track down a red Pacton flat trailer. Just waiting for the T7.300 to drop and that should be my lot for the year. -
It is interesting that the 340 is only available as a CASE and not as a New Holland or Steyr.

The Perkins engined 634 really stands out to me. -
Farm methane plant for my layout - ongoing project

https://woodyfarmbuildings.co.uk/ Those look very like the buildings I used to buy from Mason's Attic back around 2015. Great to see they are still being made. Very clever modular system. -

I hadn't come across them before. Very interesting. I wonder if they have ever considered making farm buildings? Their quality and pricing seems dead on. https://magneticracing.com/ -

This is something I'm planning too. It uses the same basic principles as any process. Feedstock storage (silage pits, weighbridge, etc. Cattle slurry plus some other feedstock gives the best results) Feedstock input (modified feed mixers seem very common) Process itself (One or more of the tanks pictured above. Some systems move the digestate from tank to tank to tweak the process) Process output (Methane - what is it being used for?, liquid digestate - slurry, solid digestate - run the liquid through a process to separate the liquid from the solids) Methane storage, digestate storage. On site generator? (40ft container with an exhaust pipe) Some videos and pictures of a set-up in Donegal here https://glenmoreestate.com/renewable-energy/ -

Tayumo are making a lot of interesting models in 1/32. They now have the VW Toerag and T6 van, as well as Jag XJ6 and a bunch of Audi models to mention but a few. -

I saw two boys knocking grass in West Cork yesterday, and a field of wrapped bales in West Waterford. It's on!

Yep. Absolute legend and all round nice guy. -
The Britains Fiat 880 was also made as a Hesston 580 for US dealers back in the day. There is also a Ford 6600 with FIECO cab in the FTF specials series.
