Jez Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Brian, Just a quick question (reply via PM if you want). When you make a bigger batch of foragers does the price come down a bit? On another note, I am glad I am not able to see you at a show because I could see myself right now ordering a NH 525 in yellow..... Anyway, keep up the good work.

texas Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Great detailed harvesters you have build again. Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Jez,when i build 1 or 7 together there is still the same amount of time,my reason for doing 7 was a customer ordered one and ive 3 shows coming up and thought itd be a good idea to do a few more,another reason is that even though i keep one of every forager i do for reference next time around its better to do a few together when everything is fresh in my head regarding that particular model,for example this week im building 2x pottingers and next week its 3 x mengele,so id hate to only have 1x 342 made and sold and then in middle of my pottinger or mengele have to start and make another,but 7 was a bit too much ill admit as i spent just over 8 days on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 you sure are a master at these things! i am thinking of a New Holland 790 someday..

toygirl Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 these foragers never fail to amaze me brian , nothing short of perfection. i have promised myself that one day i will be the proud owner of one of these fine models, only problem is they are all equally as good so there is not one that really stands out from the crowd as a must have \ , out of curiosity what wheels have you fitted to the mex vi at the bottom of page 24 are they uh claas varient baler wheels?
