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.

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?

Just got back from Malvern myself and have been sorting through my photos. I will try not to duplicate any that Paul has put up. I did bump into a couple of people there including Paul the Valley Axeman walking through and clutching his precious half drawbar, as pleased as punch with his find.
There were the usual standard tractors in the auction, some restored and mint and others still with the grass and nettles hanging off them looking as if a good wind would blow then into bits of rust. There were also some real rarities that I will come to shortly.
First up, the auction :
On the way back home I passed this first Ford on the back of a car trailer northbound on the M5

Am I missing something? I have one of these, mint and boxed and I paid £25 for it about a year ago. I know that there are different versions and this is a rarer one but £215????????

The SLH models based around the 80-90 hp Same Explorer have finally arrived. I have contented myself with the Same versions as I haven't enough body parts to sell to justify the Lambo and Hurlimann versions however, another member on her is having the full set and I will be handing them over when I see him at the Malvern show. In the meantime I am not opening those boxes as I know how hamfisted I can be and I don't want to damage them.
All of the models are resin and come with a front linkage that is easily attached to the front, I am going to display the 80 without the linkage and the 90 with it just so I have got both styles in the cabinet.

That Major has got big back wheels for speed hope its got brakes to match
The engine was non-standard as well, a big 6 cylinder lump. I suspect that it is used as a "pulling" tractor as there was a skid on the back as well to stop it rearing up

Smithy, she will now need a green tractor to match it 😆

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?
