Pentland500 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi Mark, The gold plough is the Kverneland Variomat 7 furrow made by "AGRAR" and was a limited edition of just 100 produced for Agritechnica in 2009. This one is number 10/100 complete with certificate. Below are photos of both the gold one and the standard issue. Fantastic detail on both models.

BC Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Ah the box you were awaiting delivery when we spoke at the G&M event at Perth last month....nice buys Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 that looks to be a fantastic collection! i seem some rare and great stuff from especially Britains. Take a monthlong vacation and start putting your collection on shelves as this should be displayed properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentland500 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks Wil, Got many more rare Britains hidden away in this loft ! Looking at the idea of a proper unit/room to display them all. May never get around to it though !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 What poster/s have you? as seen with the rolling road, stock draws and cardboard display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 going to guess you attended or bid via phone on some of the neils fisher stuff seeing as you have the green chassis 2680 and white plastic mf 30 drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentland500 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi Sean , Yes they did come from that source ! As did the orange shawnee poole trailer in the same picture and along with one or two other models that are not in the photos ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Proper nice mate, you've got enough stock for a pretty nice shop in there!!! I see your loft is pretty tidy and looks warm and dry, any plans to display some of the models up there either in cabinets, on shelves or on a diorama?

Pentland500 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi Paul, Only three poster in the collection - only buy them when I see them and they look good value. I dont go out looking for posters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentland500 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi Tris, Yes the loft is well floored and insulated , but I just wouldnt have enough room in the loft to properly display everything. I am looking at the option of using another room in the house or a proper portacabin , with lights and heating and make a proper job of displaying the collection. As for a diorama , I have no time and that does not really take my fancy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 WOW... what a collection.. I wanted those two MF bits.. but never got around to bidding on them... I'm glad I didn't now I know they have gone to a fellow forum member - good for you and thanks for sharing your images - you have a superb collection. I also like the portacabin idea too.. please keep us posted on your plans for display Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentland500 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks Mark, I will try and keep things updated and post some more MF related items ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been shopping on behalf of your good self and you have bought one of these - http://www.taylorsgardenbuildings.co.uk/store/images/d_5879.jpg Unfortunately local planning restricts it being sited at your house . . ... but it will be perfectly suitable to be sited here at my place! I'm sure I can arrange collecting your models. . ... :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
