I would suggest its because scrap is running at £160/tonne at the moment :o :o :o Took sons Fiat Punto to the scrap yard last Saturday morning, it made £137, you could have knocked me down with a feather :o :o :o robbo

Quite surprised for an Italian site there are no SAME's there \ \ \ \ \ \

I have to say I quite like the look of it, I may need to put it on the list to go with the Cat crawlers just so I have got them all (except the Claas unless Tris wants to sell one of his * ) robbo

Does anyone know when the Spalding Show website is going to be updated with details of the October show? It is still showing that the next show is to be 6th April \ \ \ \ \ robbo

unfortunately yes they do \ \ \ \ \ \

Is this a numpty?? the show is in April and you are posting today (May) asking who is going??? :o :o

Thanks guys........although my kids think I am regressing to childhood.....collecting model tractors \ \ \ \ \ or as one of them puts it "Dad is on the computer again looking at Tractor Porn" ;) ;) robbo

Full collection anyone?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DINKY-Etc-BOXED-MASSIVE-LIFETIME-COLLECTION_W0QQitemZ370048564551QQihZ024QQcategoryZ56329QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem robbo

I have also just remembered that you said that you got it as 4wd for the resale value....MARKY FERGUSON... this is your child,,,, would you sell your children... a tractor is for life... not just for squashing a bit of rubbish > > > Shame on you :o :o :o

Hi Marky I assume that you have the model to go alongside the new baby, it would be remiss of you not to have one, and of course it has to be an exact match with the same spec ;) ;) ;) robbo

Wonderful Chris, what was the yield last year? I would LOVE to have just a little bit of land like you have and do what you do, keep up the updates robbo

Ruddy great big Fendt 936 with some sort of roller/cultivator mounted front and back, looked a bit out of place in town centre Warrington :D :D :D

Its a little beauty Kev, I had the same thought about the old Deutz ;) robbo

Reminds me of a Someca... but they were just last years Fiats anyway

The Bamford Wuffler was yellow and was only wide enough to cover one swath robbo

Great old pics well worth looking at, they remind me of the days when I was actually in the farming business. The hay turner will be a Willy Pheasant and it was made by Lely although I remember them being red, funny how the memory goes ??? ??? robbo edit I just love the translation of the c o c k word

Boom Boom ....in his best Basil Brush voice :D :D :D

That is a very sad old SAME, a shame to see the old girl like that but I do have to admit they were prone to the odd spot of rust :( :(

It is the 8530 precision and yes, I think it is a good model robbo

You're right :o I have just put my glasses on and had a closer look ??? ??? I have been thinking it was a 135 doh!

The little Massey is a Corgi 135 and the trailer is from my childhood days, I think it was a Britains log trailer, I found it when I was clearing out my mothers loft and came across and old toy box. I used to have loads of tractors when I was a child but when I left home my mother gave them all to the local nursery school, they would have been worth a bit now and been quite rare robbo

OK Bazza this ones for you I have just got back from IKEA and I have got 2 extra shelves @ ?10 each, unfortunately the trip cost me ?76 as the boss wanted a hall table and 3 picture frames \ \ \ ah well a small price to pay really ;) robbo

The short answer is no, me and electrics don't mix, I'm just about OK with a hammer but anything more delicate than that and I need outside assistance, thats why I can't do any conversions I am just too ham fisted and I would ruin anything robbo

It is a Ros SAME Explorer in 1/16 scale, it is going to be joined soon by a Cat Challenger 95E and hopefully an MT765 (if the bid is successful) You probably can get more shelves... do you know I hadn't even though about that \ \ \ \ back to IKEA this afternoon then :D robbo

'Er indoors relented and it was off to IKEA for a new cabinet that they call a "Billy" bookcase, 6 shelves and glass doors not bad for ?90 The intention is to have one shelf for each major manufacturer but at the moment it is a bit haphazard Top shelf Ford, Fiat and New Holland, then 2nd shelf John Deere Next one is the SAME's and the fourth one at the moment is a mixture of red ones, MF, Case and McCormick The bottom 2 shelves are a bit of a hotchpotch of odds and sods that either don't fit in with anything else or are a different scale Eventually I plan to have them as 1 Ford Fiat New Holland 2 John Deere 3 SAME 4 Deutz and the 1/25 models 5 CaseIH and McCormick 6 AGCO The I have to work on a second cabinet ;D ;D just don't tell the better half yet "softly softly catchee monkee" robbo
