big 10-4 Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 just got my copy in the post yesterday still as good as ever hope to se a different colour of tractor in the fleet profile soon though not thats there out wrong with massey ferguson just like a bit of a change. Quote
Udimore Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Yes nice article on the Marshall 804... That MF 1200 gets everywhere at the minute.... Quote
Tractorman810 Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 yeah that marshal bit was a good read mate, made me wonder about making one actually , got loads of pics from shepton a while back as i liked the look of it as for the 1200 bit, was a great read, but at the time it was ground breaking stuff for the uk farming ,didnt realise so few 1250's had been made either Quote
Udimore Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Did wonder about someone doing the 804. I have one of DT 602's which are nice Quote
Tractorman810 Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 got a chassis the lot, just need cab and archs Quote
rorsday Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Big 10-4 Don't worry, two MF fleet profiles on the trot is more than enough! Next month the fleet profile looks at a farming family from Cumbria with five mint classics - IH 885XL, Case-IH 1056XL, Case-IH 844XL, MF 135 and MF 362. Had to have some MF content in there just for Lord Ferguson. There's quite a lot of blue in the next issue, including a cracking Ford 7810/7840/NHTS115 group comparison, a couple of features on the County 1884, plus a feature on the IH factory at Bradford, an MF 590 Rebuild, reports from Newark, EIMA and Lakeland shows, plus more. Don't want to spoil the surprise but, if it ever gets finished in time, it should be a good one. Regards Rory Classic Tractor Quote
Udimore Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Sounds good Rory... The more blue based skids the better Please forget about "Lord Ferguson" as he is a one off and the rest of the normal subscribers have better taste Quote
nashmach Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Sounds excellent Rory - I love seeing fleet profiles who dare to be a different and run other makes rather than the big 3 - JQ, MF and Ford/NH. Group comparsion should also be very interesting - I think the hard work you and the team put in is really evident in how the readers appreciate it - I know personally that I have told some guys about the magazine and they bought one and although not as hooked as me (waiting outside the shop on the last Friday morning of the month to open :D) they still really enjoy it... Keep up the good work Rory Quote
rorsday Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Dear Nashmach, That's really good to know, thanks for the kind words. A lot of hard work and effort goes into producing the magazine each month and it's good to know that it's appreciated. The aim is always to try and improve on each issue....sometimes it works out that way, other times not, but the ambition is certainly there,because you get nowhere from standing still and resting on your laurels. Regards Rory Quote

junctionone Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Northern Ireland seems to be full or good restorations and collections. The dedication to the tractor there is amazing. As a Classic Tractor reader I too enjoyed the Marshall story, the photos were excellent, full marks to the photographer and author. I she from Northern Ireland? I hope the next mag focuses on NI too.

rorsday Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Dear Junctionone Chris Thank you for your message. To answer your question, the journalist who took the pictures of the Marshall 804 was Chris McCullough, our Northern Ireland correspondent and top man. We have some more good Nth Ireland stories to come in the future, including the rebuild of an MF 188 4WD. In the meantime, thank you for your kind words and comments. Regards Rory Quote
