What's your latest farm/Construction buy in 2022
robbo replied to Tractorman810's topic in General Hobby Discussion
The 3130 is a gorgeous model but very fragile, I looked at mine in a funny way and one of the wing mirrors pinged off๐ well worth having though and probably almost sold out now -
Another great issue, this time with a write up of J&S Lewis, Same tractor dealers based near to me and a good friend of mine. ( Jim Lewis is also mentioned in the Roadless article as well)

The Galaxy 170 is limited to 500 and the 2 Lasers are 1000 each so I suppose they are all limited really. Next up, the Explorer versions, due within the next 6 weeks. They really are limited, 50 of each. -

No, they all appear to be the same. Some photos on various sites show tractors with front linkage and the headlights at the top. All of these have a front weight and the headlights at the bottom. -

Prices go up and down and manufacturers keep an eye on them to see whats selling. Just look at the UH Massey Ferguson 3080. A year or so ago they were going for over ยฃ100 each, UH promptly reissued the model to cash in on the demand and now most sellers have them for ยฃ45-50 and they are not selling at that. -
Tractor 2022 - Spalding Spring Show Sunday 3rd April
robbo replied to fordmajor's topic in Events and Shows
Yes, this coming Sunday 2nd October -
The only thing that I would say about that Callum, is that it might be in a different venue next year. There was talk a year or so ago that the hall that they use is due to be demolished to make way for housing. The LCN Club were then looking at various venues in different towns to use going forward. This seems to have been postponed for this year at least due to the last couple of years of Covid but there is no saying what will happen next year or where it will be.

I would have to say that I don't think that you would be able to go to Zwolle without spending far more than you had anticipated and there is no way that you would get them all back without paying for extra baggage
-
Yes, their faces squashed against the window

Understatement of the week, a smidge? Just unfortunate that I haven't got a trailer he would fill that if he could. Having said that, I remember seeing Brian's car packed to the roof

There are a number of ways, depending on what suits you the best. You can go through the tunnel but, you then have a 5 hour drive the other side through France and Belgium before you get to Holland. To be fair, it is good roads and dual carriageway all the way, we have done it that way several times. If you are going for the 2 days then you might have to leave around midday on the Sunday to get back to the ferry terminal at a reasonable time We now take the overnight ferry from Harwich to the Hook of Holland. it is then around a 2 hour drive to Zwolle and again, all dual carriageway. This is slightly more expensive but less fuel and a lot more relaxing. It also means that we can stay until the show finishes on the Sunday as it is easy to get back to the ferry terminal in time for the sailing back to the UK. There are other sailings to the Hook of Holland and Zeebrugge from Hull but it would depend on where you are based, not sure if there are any from Scotland as I have never had to look from that way. You can fly to Amsterdam and then either hire a car or get a train on the other side, we have never done it this way and you would not be able to bring much back with you unless someone that you know is taking a car. I am also not sure of the timings and how you would do it, sorry. I am not sure if you are connected to Brian Stewart (Mr Softie) on social media but he would be the best person to advise on travel from Scotland, I haven't seen him on FTF for quite a while. You would also have to factor in overnight stays, Friday and Saturday, most of us stay at The Lumen Hotel in Zwolle, it is only 5-10 minutes to the show hall and there is an "all you can eat" Chinese buffet around 100 metres away. There are of course, other hotels in the area, I think that others have stayed at The Campanile but not sure where that is exactly in relation to the hall. Hope this helps

I have been to the Muker Show in North Yorkshire today, quite a small affair but interesting nonetheless, a few classics on display including this Mineapolis Moline and muck cart

Of course Sean however, I think I might have sorted it now. There will always be others on the list to look out for
