Niels Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Some more brochures I photo'd while going through them. First and second one are a Spanish MF combine brochure. Relative to the small French/German models? Third and fourth from a large MF book about the large Dronningborg combines 30 up to the model 40 RS. It is in Dutch and all black & white. Possibly a book done for dealers at the launch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Some non-Massey items. An interesting New Idea harvester/tool carrier that can be used as a combine, forage harvester, maize cob picker etc.. And the other picture shows some Claas product ranges from the 80s. I remember someone asking a while ago how many Claas product guides did. These are not really books but they do give a full view of the products on offer at the time. First is 81/82 and in German, second 84/85 and in Dutch, third 85/86 in Dutch, fourth 86/87 in Dutch and the last is early 80's I reckon but doesn't give a date. Is in German. I know they did some of these books in the 90's as well as I have some in a scrapbook, cut up :'( . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stapelopfordson Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 At the moment you think "I have all USA brochures from the 100-series", you find a 6600 brochure you don't know. Last week I could buy it on Ebay, it appears to be an American version with code AD-2181-1 68050. That's what I like in collecting brochures: the hunt for unknown brochures . You never know what is published. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 never seen that one myself either. With the typical american style fenders it is quite a catch.. The amount of american tractor brochures is enormous i sometimes feel. I am currently working on expanding my excel file with more information on the brochures i have.. have done about 20% of them right now. When i am done, i am more then happy to send you the file so you can check if there are more brochures out there that you dont have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stapelopfordson Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 My latest addition is an Australian County Super-4 brochure. This 2-page brochure is published by a local dealer "Moore Road Machinery". So not an official County brochure, but a nice one. @ Wil, I'm looking forward to your updated list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 First picture shows four American spec Massey Ferguson brochures. 8200 series in black & white and colour, MF 6100 & 8100 and 6200. Second picture is the 6200 brochure that folds out to an A1 poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehos Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 My latest addition is an Australian County Super-4 brochure. This 2-page brochure is published by a local dealer "Moore Road Machinery". So not an official County brochure, but a nice one. @Ronald: great looking brochure and quite rare also I think. These came to me this week: - County 1474, probably one of the first issued because it is fitted with the engine of the Ford 9700, most other brochures I know of have the sentence: now fitted with (new) TW20 engine. - Fordson Super Dexta from Sweden, in a rather sorry state but rare on these shores. - from South Africa the Ford 2000 in afrikaans language.

FordTractorCrazy Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 us Dutchies are quite busy lately very nice brochures Niels, Jack and Ronald!!! that is some very rare stuff!! most brochures i have bought lately, reside somewhere in the US still. But some have come this way. 2 Versatile brochures from 1977 of the 500 and from 1978 of the 835,855,875,935,950. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 You consider the older Versatile is also sort of Ford/NH Wil or you just like to collect them? Here's a quiz for our English readers! Pictures of a Dutch Ransomes Dowdeswell reversible plough. Surely this cannot be true, rivals Ransomes and Dowdeswell teaming up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Versatile was part of Ford before the takeover by Fiat. Especially the designation 6 Versatile tractors are by me considered as Ford's. I like the older models a lot and have added that part to the collection as well even though it are not Ford conversions like County or Roadless..

Niels Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Oh was it really. That was something I did not knew! I don't think the tractors ever came as far as Holland. Some in the UK and France but thats about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 well i have never seen a ransomes dowdeswell joint venture before, i asume it must be a euro only venture as uk wise, they are two seperate brands, always have been as far as i can recall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick a Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 dowdeswell ploughs used ransomes bodies they didnt make their own, the plough appears to be a dowdeswll dp 1 or dp 2 in ransomes livery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigX500 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Dowdeswell UCN and YCN bodies same has the Ransomes bodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Back in the late 70s and early 80s there were a few large farms in Holland that were looking for suitable ploughs to use behind their articulated tractors. They found the Dowdeswell and agreed that Ransomes would sell and service it over here as they already had a dealer network for their own equipment. Later they also imported the smaller three and four furrow ploughs. When Ransomes quit making farm machinery Dowdeswell continued on their own and sold the ploughs in the original green livery. Some can still be seen around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
