Having passed around 50 JOHN DEERE 40 and 50 series models through my hands now ive become very fond of the model and indeed the real machine as they are very iconic and have respectably earned there way into the desirable classic category,which for me means earning respect from owners and users and they did do that and good to see that many still are,for me many modern tractors are just never going to make it to the rally field in the future,because they dont have and never will have the beef these tractors did,i grew up among these and there competitors and competition was tough but these 40s and 50s stood there ground and have earned there way well onto the rally field,and on the same marquee( many have regarded the 1360/1365 as the best mower ever made)

the ten x is an absolutly stunning model brian to be honest photos dont do your model justice, im rateing it up there with the 3765 forager you have built for me (and thats coming from a john deere fan), seeing them in the flesh was breathetaking and you can see why there is as many hours in the build with all the fine detail which you have keep up the good work brian

2 more....the hitch on the ford is really bugging me now...and the exhaust is way too far forward leaving the tricky business of drilling out a new hole and filling in the old one.
