Page 12 and FTF and Andy get a mention says we have over 1000 members, more like 1500 now.

Have you also seen the article about the guy in Holland with 3000 models :o :o :o I mentioned it to Mrs Robbo and she said "don't even think about it" :( :( :(

ah well I'll just keep smuggling them in one at a time ;D ;D

robbo

Best way to get it is to subscribe, that way you get it about a week before it appears in the shops, got mine today as well, a good thick issue with the usual interesting articles, now where did I put my glasses \ \ \ \ \ ;) ;)

robbo

Great stuff Kev, I am more than a little envious  ;) ;) My wife has promised that when I retire then she may consider letting me have a real one, but not until  \ \ \ \ \

robbo

Ooh, I have an old Land Rover which I can't be ar5ed to MOT. If I let you take photos can that be exempt too officer? 

Just drive through Cheshire and I will let you know ;) ;) ;) ;)

robbo

Doesn't it just need to be a number registered to the farm?

One of the big local spud growers - Mercer, of Mediema Mercer Machinery fame - has the same plate on all his trailers for a tractor which I've never seen working, a 1983 suffix plate from memory. Confused me the first year I saw a dozen trailers with it on, thought it was a seriously quick tractor!!

Yes that correct, always makes me smile when I see a brand spanking new Deere with a registration plate that probably belongs to the old scraper tractor ;) ;)

Anyway, if they let me take photos then they are exempt  ;D ;D

robbo

Vehicles are required to display a number plate on the rear of the vehicle so that it can be read from behind. I assume that he has put the number plate on the drill because when it is raised in transport position it obscures the main tractor registration plate. If it didn't obscure the plate then it would not be needed, having said that, it isn't the right number for this tractor though. :-X :-X

One of the best programs to help with resizing pictures is http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm and it is very easy to use. Just download it (it takes about a minute) and then select the picture you want to re size and the dimensions you want it to be and hey presto. It doesn't delete the original just copies and saves it in the new size

Hi

looking at a Weise Fendt 515C, how good is this model and does anybody rate it

thanks

robbo

Took these on my jollies last year and just found them on the computer, just a bit different  ;)

robbo

Some more

He also told me that one of his other tractors is the last ever Ford 7600 ever made, I will try to get some pics of it if anyone is interested

robbo

Been out and about today and came across this set up. Got chatting to the driver and he told me that he had used this tractor to take him and his wife to the church when he had got married last year,  :) I like his style

robbo

I have a Britains 7920 and I am not particularly impressed with the detail and especially with the wheels and tyres, it seems to be poorly built and plasticky.  > >

Is the new 30 series any better or am I better off looking for the Siku version.

By the way, I do not modify models \ \ I am not good with my hands  ;) and I prefer to collect original models

thanks

robbo

Marky,

Save your money mate. It's not that great a book. If your interested in the very early history of the company it's ok, but you will have far more info on the classic erea from your collection of brochers. I really wish someone would do a really good glossy book for MF like "The Ford Story" (cannot remember who wrote it) which is a really good 'coffee table book' with really good pictures and information.

That would be Stuart Gibbard, he has written just about everything on Fords and their derivatives

robbo

Pm me a price for the model B please princess if Robbo doesn't want it  *

Go ahead Simon, I'm spent up for this month.......and probably next month as well  [ [

robbo

A lot of the early Lamborghini models were made by Ros but Siku now make some as well. This is the R8 265 which is effectively the same tractor as both the SAME and the Deutz with slight modifications

robbo

Can I ask, what would be a fair price for a JD 3010 precision (No. 20) on the above list, I can get one but I don't know how much to pay

thanks

robbo

So really, anything you like as long as it is a SAME  ;D ;D ;D ;D

look forward to it  :) :)

robbo

Farmmodels have these for sale at ?95 each so that is a very good price  :o get one at this price while you can, (and get one for me as well ;))
