I have never seen an acrobat rake in the "claas green" type of colour. Is it particularly rare or dare I ask a repaint?

 

It certainly looks different finished in green...... I'm sure Paul (super6) might know a little more Bill, I don't think that I've seen one that colour either :of

 

But a nice varied collection your showing us Tractorman314 :)

Something niggled me about that green rake Bill........ After a quick look back through some old Farm and Site mags I found this :of...... looks as though from the article in the mag the Green Acrobat is original and rare, dated about 1978?? ::)

Thanks Paul...when I see something out of the ordinary I always think rare or has it been messed with. I must admit in all the secondary buys I have made I have only bought two which I have subsequently been messed with...but at the end of the day I still like them and have kept them.

 

Britains did do the acrobat rake in green colour.Very rare to get hold of one and i have one in my collection also.Only made for about 6 months i think. :)

 

Thanks Shaun...another one to add to my wish / wanted list. ;D  ;D

My green Acrobat Rake straw box is dated 1978 but they(straw box) may have been used right up to the end of 1981 when Acrobat Rake was deleted, chevron box came out in 1980 ish! but not necessarily for all models straight away..............

As Steve said they are very difficult to find. I used to ask ebay sellers what colour it was in the box as pictures of boxed ones are not always clear, it got me one in the end  8)

9343 Mashio Powered Harrow (Powerfarm), when I got harrow out of box found it not to be a powered harrow, so I am not sure if I was duped when I bought it, as I would not have taken it out of the box. So I am hoping that I have a Powered version in a non-powered box, as I did have some models on display before I moved house ,but that is some years ago.

Found 3 empty boxes in this box, and have know idea why they have not got models in, so am hoping they models are loose in another box. Two boxes are for Ford TW 20s and the other one is for a Rear Dump Trailer, so I am hoping it is an Orange one, but cant remember buying one;
