Beem away for the weekend visiting an old friend for his 25th wedding anniversary, they decided to have a hog roast for the 200+ guests.............well it went a bit wrong :D :D :D They set it going and then went out to get the salad stuff from the shop. Unfortunately the fat started to drip and caught on fire..... this was the result It was a little overdone ;D ;D ;D

Had a 5 furrow Kvernland on the back Apologies for the quality but it was taken with my phone \ \ \ \ \

Once again whilst I was on duty I came across this beastie ploughing barley stubble. 8) 8) Had a chat to the driver and he told me that it it hired in and it pulls far better than his normal JD6930 :of :of

WOW there are only 12 coming to the UK have you managed to get one already or has Jez got you a sneak preview :o :o

Yep will be having that one of I can get one ;) ;) Do you know if they will only be available at the show or will the normal sellers get then in?

There have always been two types of students, those that need a bomb under them to get them to do anything and those that are complete loonies behind the wheel ??? I have to admit that when I was a student I came into the latter category and I once got sacked for crashing a DB 1200 and trailer full of spuds through a corrugated barn wall...........never had any problems keeping up though :

If you going from mid Cheshire it will take about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I can get there in about an hour and a half from Warrington, took me 3 hours to get to Spalding so a lot closer :)

I'm sorry but I'm not going to pay £110 for a broken model no matter how old or rare it is :o :o http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dinky-22e-Farm-Tractor-Blue-Yellow-V-RARE_W0QQitemZ300335878603QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN?hash=item45ed69d1cb&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Maybe the seller is living up to his name : :

Yes it is, I made my mind up to go for it when you said it was the right box, I wasn't sure until then. I have also just won a Deutz TTV with front linkage

He has arrived now and said he was delayed as he was collecting the new boiler from the supplier, I suppose I will have to let him off.......sigh \ \ \

Supposed to be having a new central heating boiler fitted, plumber was due here at 8.30 and he hasn't arrived yet \ \ \ \

The blue McCormick MTX 175, got the full set now ;)

Great stuff............that is seriously dusty though :o :o :o

I have got the 2 smaller McCormicks, the yellow and the blue one, and they are both in a yellow box with farmmodels on the box which is why I thought this was the wrong box as it seems like a standard UH box

I think this is one of the limited edition McCormicks made for farmmodels but if it is it is in the wrong box http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=230360638950 ??? ??? ??? ???

I have just spent the last week on my jollies in the Dumfries area and I have never seen so many Claas tractors in any area before, the dealer must be good or the rest must be useless : : Biggest one was an Axion 850 with what looked like a tiny silage trailer.........having said that the size of the Axion would make any trailer look small :o :o

Well I have to say the Govion is one ugly beast but I quite like the Elnino \ \ \ \ \

Should have known I would have to get up early in the morning to catch you out Paul :D :D I will have to try harder to find a model you haven't ever done > :(

I just hope that the seller is not a member on here \ \ \ \ \ I would hate it if this generated bad feeling within the forum

It was certainly in good condition, the only damage apparent was on the offside of the bonnet So who is going to be the first to do a convo? : : :

The rear wheel are also driven via the propshaft and the whole thing hinges in the middle to steer View from inside the cab Now (apart from the reflection of me in the glass) am I right in thinking this has only 963 hours on the clock If that is the case it is not too bad for a 1984 tractor. 8) 8) He did also say that it was for sale if I wanted to buy it :o :o Can you imagine me going home and saying to Mrs R "Hello dear, I have bought a little something for you today" ;D ;D

Came across this one whilst out and about today being used by a drainage contractor, he told me that they actually have 2 of these :o The trailer part has a chute for delivering the gravel into the drainage channel

It's showing at £14.50 on one of the main sites ;) ;) ;)

Winter barley today and a brand new John Deere T670 so new the paint was still on the auger and header 8) 8)

Marky, you should have a button on the front of the radio with TA or TL on it, push that and it should stop the traffic reports over riding the radio
