A) Name your price for the 7810. what chance of doing a run of those for the 2006 FTF model? Awesome stuff as usual Paul. Well done.

Pics! I know somwone who has recently bought four 6.50s, and at least one is going to be crossed with a TTV.

That looks like a [url=http://www.agrarmodelle.de/index/modelle/traegerf/index.htm]Wolfgang Diehl model. Yep! It is a Wolfgang Diehl model! Here's the two axle version:

DING DONG Can the Knicker Untwisting Technician please come to the "Your Collections" section. Knicker Untwisting Technician to the "Your Collections" section. DING DONG

I prefer that tractor in Blue!

Never mind the Liebherr, I want one of these for the farm runabout ..........

Thanks for that Bill. Keep up the good work

Hi Bill, Congrats on the news of a new FW, a model I have wanted for a number of years. If I may, I will translate the above posts into American. Can you give us some background on the new FW model, its relationship to the old FW, and, if possible, post a couple of pics (we haven't seen a photo of your desk for waaaaaaaaay too long ) A pic of the new JQ 7930 wouldn't go astray either! Many Thanks, SPN:

They might say it, but just look at how clean the workshop is, and how unused the tools are. Clearly blue was a good decision! On the other hand, look at how Britains had to bring out a JQ service van to make that range realistic. They've been making blues for over 50 years and never had to do that! ;D

It isn't beyond the bounds of possibility that the pics we are seeing are of tarted up versions of the old casting, but that the the actual model itself will be suitably updated to modern standards. We'll know for sure when we see the pic from Bill's desk! As mentioned elsewhere, it would have made more sense to do this as the Toy Farmer model for 2007 though.

The decals went on today! *

He is on here, but hasn't posted yet AFAIK. His stuff is amazing! My favourite by far is the [url=http://www.farmmodels.net/conversions/claasceltis/frameholder.html]Claas Celtis with Faucheux Loader

I was just talking to him and he is planning to take some new photos this week. I keep telling him that he should make a 1:32 model of a Karcher powerwasher. I think it is terrible the state he keeps his machinery in !!!! :

The Purdue cabs have steps on them; even better than the real thing -as a famous Irishman once said. (cue FNHIR with a pic of the cab on his 7000) Q: While we're waiting for that, what is the difference between Bono and God? A: God doesn't think that he is Bono ........ :

Landini Legend 140tdi and triple axle lowloader trailer. I got to drive it for five mins, but didn't get any pics. Mebbe later in the week.

I love that 8x4 gearbox. Once you learn how to crash the gears it is a gem. (Note to the unwary: To change down the gears with a full silage trailer behind you need three hands. One on the throttle - to marry the revs, one on the gear lever - trying to pop her into gear, and the third one to steer with. If you are really proficient, you can steer her with the steering brakes.

Never driven an AP cabbed 10. Which gearshift system does it use?

I'm not aware of anyone using a 4 rotor rake in Ireland as the crops are too heavy - and if they did they would need >200hp underneath it. I did a tour yesterday and none of our main contractors are out yet. I did see two fields mowed out in West Waterford on Wednesday night - I smelt it before I saw it - but the crop looked very light. Super pics Powerstar. Many thanks. I hope to be able to return the compliment very soon.

A Steyr is basically a Steyr. They also do badge engineered versions in blue and red/silver. The NH TVT and Case CVX are Steyr CVTs in disguise, Strangely enough, I spent the morning driving a Case CS94 (a Steyr 9094 in drag!). Fabulous tractor! Will post piccies l8r.

I've never driven a Valmet. But this adorable young lady drives a 2100hp one, called Doris!

1124 generally had the Duncan Cab.

I'll buy one! Even to put the TTV Cab on a Siku chassis would be good, and there are loads of scrap TTV Cabs sitting in spares bins all over convo land. Here's a full TTV convo JBX50 did and posted to Troisieme Point

I've said it before, and I'll say it again ........
