I have never heard of it, where did you get it from? Don't suppose there is a link to a homepage or anything like that is there? robbo

I love the old Deutz 06 series tractors, used to drive a D80 06 during the summer of 76. I have been after a model of that model for ages but they are like hens teeth and cost as much as the real thing > > robbo

Doesn't look too popular, there are no posts since December 2007 :o :o

I think I am right in saying that Watveare were German and taken over by Deutz in the 1970's. You just need to buy the field now to put it to work :D :D :D robbo

so why is this one 2 wheel drive http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130214610518&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=003 robbo

Manufacturers hp ratings can vary wildly as it depends what standard the manufacturer chooses to use. Some take the reading at the initial output at the flywheel, with and without things like the fan, alternator and other ancillaries. Obviously that gives the highest possible readout of their tractor power. Others use different measurements with ancillaries engaged which gives a lower reading. It gets even more confusing when you start to include features like powerboost which many tractors now have in transport or pto mode. When you get your tractor dyno tested they are testing the pto output so don't expect it to be the same as the manufacturers rated output, very few, if any, manufacturers use the pto output as their rated maximum power, it can be up to 15% less. Another interesting site is the Nebraska test lab which was set up many years ago to test the sometimes extravagant claims of the manufacturers http://tractortestlab.unl.edu/ You might be surprised at the results for your favourite tractor although most of the tractors tested are American and may not be available in the UK

Claas Senator 80, worked on 2 different farms that had one and drove them both....then gave up real farming :( :( :( :( robbo

I have never seen one of these anywhere in the UK so I would be surprised if it generated much interest at all other than rarity value \ \ \ \ \ \ \ robbo

Have a look at this topic posted by Deerepower some time ago http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=20375.0 It has lots of pics of the older Deeres but without looking through it all I can't remember if there are any with the old mowers robbo

Luke P... check the title... Taunton in SOMERSET \ \ \ \ BGU is going to LOVE the registration of that Massey 6480 ;D ;D ;D

I need to know asap as well please, I need to book the time off work early this time \ \ \ \ robbo

Its a yes from me but seeing as I am a fan of everything SAME related it will come as no surprise ;D ;D robbo

The first photo didn't come out too well :( :( lets try another one much better ;D

I don't know if this has been done before or whether it should be in this part of the forum or under collections \ \ \ \ but as well as the models reading about tractors keeps me warm on long winter evenings, yes I'm a sad old git [ [ [ So I thought I would post the collection and see if anyone has any thoughts on their favourite books. As you can see I have no particular colour bias, well only a little one, and I have books on a number of different marques. I do have to say that my personal favourite is Four Wheels Ahead the story of SAME Tractors by Massimo Di Nola, but really I like anything that tells the story of how the companies started and how they got to where they are today. The next purchase will be one of the Stuart Gibbard books on the Ford tractor story Robbo

Would love to see more of your Deutz models, I have been trying to get an 06 model but the prices are just sky high robbo

OH yes come to daddy :D :D :D want one NOW :o :o robbo

This may not be of interest to many as there is something else on in Spalding on this day : However, if you can't get to Spalding and you live in the North West there is a Model Train and Toy Collectors Fair being held in the exhibition hall at Haydock Park Racecourse on Sunday 6th April. The doors are open between 11am and 3.30pm and entry is ?1.50 for adults and 50p for children. Much to my chagrin I can't get to Spalding :( :( so I will have to go to this event instead robbo

I hope you are right I will look forward to that :) :) robbo

Think I paid about ?8 for mine so, no, they are not worth ?40 \ \ \ \ \ robbo

Absolutely fascinating :D many thanks for posting such wonderful pictures robbo

The set I have just bought is the model number 9381, is this correct or is it numbered for the American market? robbo

Unless they have changed the low hp recently the range from 30-47 was made by SAME and fitted with Mitsubishi engines http://www.samedeutz-fahr.com/same/range.php?rng=9 http://www.masseyferguson.com/agco/mf/uk/products/tractors/specialist/2400.htm same tractor different badge robbo

At the risk of a shameless plug it will be going back on eBay when it gets here unless I get a better offer for it first ;) ;) ;) robbo
