If you have 2, you have a collection as we always say

Hi Ian, glad to see you back and nice to have a chat with you at Spalding

We do have one other New Zealander that I know of but he doesn't come on much nowadays, "Pudding" is his user name on this and other forums

202 to 2022 so that would suggest that it is now discontinued?

I don't know whether I have missed the announcement of this one but I picked up a John Deere 6300 with a front loader at the dealers last week. Made by Schuco and I have been through the thread for that manufacturer for 2022 and 2023 and I can't find any record of when it was released

Hi Atte, any more word on these?

I passed a lorry on the M6 this afternoon with an interesting cargo. Front was an MF148 four wheel drive, the back was an MF135 narrow/vineyard model and in the middle was a mint Marshall 100. Couldn't get pics as I was driving but looked to have been on their way home after a show somewhere

Setting up is well underway

Waiting for you outside the show hall

We go months without an update in this topic and then they just keep on coming. Case 1490 in Deutz green seen on the DB page on Facebook

Yes I think it is a one off. It appeared on the Same, Lamborghini, Hurlimann tractor Facebook page. I might have to speak to our resident painter on Sunday and see what can be done..........................Peter "Convo" what do you think?

Also available in red I have seen that last photo before taken at the factory

Lamborghini New Holland anyone?

Just got the UH Massey 6180, just need the 6160 now so I will have to keep my eyes open next weekend at Spalding

my Dates for 2024 have been announced, 24th and 25th February

I have got to believe that this is a typo of some sort, almost £5000 for a Britains Renault? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256011273946?hash=item3b9b7606da:g:Kd8AAOSwtYRkEfTd&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAwGCiYWhSjONawohN4GXrgUySTugbQBzlOHJbm9QvhJyOcb74cpzEnPF48UXhmJSbGszDvvWkwNkk9ASW2tHr7kDFEbnTSR62BQ4MTHKmPXPoL3HaNuJwbVy6aMOMI4Enddc0i89KOqtZGH3xLD%2Bz9Du3uj6kIjJQuU4SrKOzO9GrNrKJ5MyfJu%2BYBbg11Rr9RtHwUCbALDejTBlq6LsUC7xEHfq%2Fq5A5fJzfADYyX31MHwLVHIlotcJdZGWaTHBE4g%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR87RgeXcYQ

Last couple or oldies. An MF bagger combine and a very early pick-up baler

Then back outside for some implements, it was getting a bit muddy by this time, I did consider the Same side panels but Mrs R said NO. Not entirely sure what the yellow thing is, stone separator perhaps?

Then I went inside the buildings. The telehandler was a Latil Giraffe and I had never heard of one before. The restored JD was a bit of a talking point and I had read a n article about it before going to the show. The company have done a full nut and bolt Restoration and the finished article came out around £80,000. They were asking why a cost conscious farmer would pay £200,000 for a similar spec new machine when they could get this for far less, it you don't need all the bells and whistles then I would say that they have a point.

Bit more on the rarities now, these two tractors only arrived in the UK on 3rd March.

Couple of crawlers and some Deeres. I was looking at the Track Marshall and trying to decide if it was a 70 or a 90, so I walked around the back and it was neither, it was a TM75

Ferrari and Lamborghini, better known these days for their sports cars (unless you are Jeremy Clarkson)

Bit of a cab theme for this lot, the Ford with the Fritzmeir got a few looks, quite a strange cab to UK eyes. I was also wondering about the MF 35 and whether that was an early DB cab

This Nash 1255 only made £19000 and most people seemed to agree that it was a steal at that price

Then one real rarity. Apparently only one of 2 ever made, County Forward Control with only 268 hours on the clock. This was one of the few where I was nearby as it went under the hammer. It was bid up to £18000 but did not sell as there was a reserve on it. Whilst it is rare I struggled to know what a farmer would do with it without massively altering it, self-propelled spreader maybe?
