I didn't know that Siku had done the Zetor Crystal, what scale is that?

Just managed to order one of these from a UK seller who is bringing it over from Europe for me

There does seem to be a SAME Hercules in 1/18th scale showing on some of the Euro sites but, I have not seen it with any UK sellers https://www.ebay.it/itm/176297234137?itmmeta=01HSVANAC3KWAXH8NTYSSWB308&hash=item290c224ed9:g:uc0AAOSw15Vl~~EU&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwBAOWZof6MjcYK%2FlsFo0yzqhlwjUuj5ZaOEN03j%2FJAr3HZyJelBthhkLltbw1QvGEFPy%2BWC6Zvah862PFYKT--UrEUHf1f9icC%2FdoDtzrMRil%2FqKpvnKBOdtxuTTbas7KOTH%2BANKCSQ4OANiB2%2FCGDgbZ9rmssJQnaw%2F48Bj1atx5YMun1JNmXSnnBVslyhltjBylmNOLi2DmUyH1szodJ31CJ5NFcq5W%2Fs5wqRbxfGpdazJftIkkPg8zdjl%2FkUkyA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5Km1erOYw

Slightly earlier 2WD version on a farm near to me

Massey Ferguson 2685. It will probably stay in the box but I have the others so I had to complete the set

Planning is underway for a few of us to go to this show, it is only around an hour from the ferry port at the Hook of Holland so easier to get to that when it was in Zwolle. is anyone else from FTF planning on going?

I think that Sean (tractorman810), may have done a scratch build of the Pettit trailer, he was tinkering with his new printer thingy some time ago, not sure about the others though. Have a look at his thread on Ash Tree Farm if you want to get some ideas

Welcome to the forum Mark and look forward to your set up. If you haven't already sourced a Muir Hill then you might be able to get one from Udimore Tractor shop, he does have them in from time to time, Bazza is quite a good chap (but don't tell him I said that)

I always wanted to renovate an old tractor until I saw this thread and just how much work goes into it, hats off to you Paul

Mark there is one coming up in the forthcoming M & M Auction https://auctions.mm-auctions.com/catalogue/lot/5af1f1a8cb86402df3cfb76c752c4554/e1a219ee80d10447dfb3bfbc10b2c5c0/auction-of-farm-truck-and-construction-models-plus-gen-lot-728/

Paul, I don't know whether it is the system but it should be plus 44 (+44) rather than hash 44 (#44), oh, and don't leave any spaces in the numbers

Good luck with that one Hugh, the 836 is the rarest version of both the Renault and Claas models, some go for big money. I sold one at Zwolle a couple of years ago for 100 euros and they very rarely come up

Not a marque that I tend to collect but, I might just make an exception for this one

It shows how much things have changed Gav, you are working 750ha with 3 tractors, the last farm that I worked on in 1980 was 1500 acres and had 7 tractor drivers, none of the actual tractors were over 100hp although the biggest was a Fiat 1000DT so was just at that figure

Replicagri Massey Ferguson 188 4WD with cab from Bazza plus a Same Buffalo in need of some repair

They weren't standard Britains production models and were code 3 repaints which is why they had such low numbers. I have a couple of versions but not the one that you are after, if I remember rightly they were over £100 when they were first done

Barry, consider yourself on the naughty step

A bit like the average Ag student then?

As per previous years

The LCN club have announced their anniversary model and its not a tractor

Not an Ebay auction but one from M & M that is due to take place tomorrow, Sunday 17th. I worked for Hough Green garage for a while and got one of these for £25, it is still stuffed into a box in the loft somewhere, up to £135 and the proper bidding hasn't even started yet https://auctions.mm-auctions.com/catalogue/lot/c9e736f6ce79aee99a853ab6551c84a7/e1a219ee80d10447dfb3bfbc10b2c5c0/christmas-timed-auction-of-farm-models-trucks-and-scal-lot-7/

At a service area just off the N7 in Ireland

Thanks Cyril, I still have your mobile number unless you have changed it recently

Some time ago I posted in this topic about going to Ireland and a member responded to say that if I was ever in their area then I was to shout up as they knew someone who had a Same fleet. Unfortunately I can't remember who extended the kind invitation, getting old I think. Well, next Thursday I will be in the Limerick area and I was wondering if there was anything worth seeing in that area as I should have to time free in the afternoon, thanks

Having a few days away in Stratford but, had an offer from a friend to call and see his Same fleet, just have to persuade Mrs R now
