Deere-est Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 When all the kids go about their iPads, DVD players, games consoles and all the other digital paraphernalia I don't envy them at all. There is no imagination nowadays, or at least not much anyway. Britains brought hours of fun for me and just as much peace for my folks too!

The Tractor Twitcher Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Wonderful personal collection you're gathering together Tris. I can recall fond childhood memories of playing with a number of these items on my own carpet farm many moons ago. The New Holland baler, Krone trailer, Massey Ferguson drill and Cooper discs were all part of my own carpet based enterprise. Smiling I am. Hopefully ( in between building up my classic collection ) i'll be able to aquire a few of these myself in the not too distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 very nice little collection there tris. can someone tell me whats the weights with the mf 30 drill are for? its really puzzling cos i can think off anything on the real drill you could add the weights under the foot plate at the back of the drill to help push the coulters into the ground ben,i think on the real drill the weights were cast concrete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Every purchase is a bonus, David. A pleasure too and to have the interest shown in my topic by you chaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Another little addition, although the furrows never did match up I did plough the garden many a times with a pair of these. Not bad for less than a tenner either. I was pleased to see these twenty something year old toys fit straight onto the recent Britains 66 and 7600 Fords although the new linkage fails to hold up the three furrow reversible, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Another holy grail of mine turned up before Christmas after making a deal with an ebay seller who did not sell this first time around. The window is sliced on the front, which does let it down somewhat and is rather a shame as the box and tanker are in first class condition and even with the damage I think it was a steal. I did many a load of milk up and down the landing with one of these years back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 From Zwolle with love, came the following pieces. The post hole borer, mint in ox but the inners of the box show a little wear and tear where the toy has been in and out of the cardboard insert once or twice. Another unopened one, a few of these making there way into the collection and it always seems to be the toys more likely to be opened. That said they may have been the toys that outstripped demand.

Deere-est Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 A nice front loader set, another off of ebay. In complete and very very good condition. No visible signs of wear and so on, so it doesn't appear to have been one of many toys making up a childs toy box but another one of those that slipped though the net of childhood abuse! The metal rod giving the working of a parallel linkage was a well thought of idea. The flat eight however picked the bales up the wrong way around but at lest it did pick them up and hold them in place well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 And 2012's final addition to the collection and one of the last I bought/had bought for me when I was younger. Very nice box and a totally mint model complete with elastic band retainers. Also a toy replica of a machine I have used in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks to a tip off from Beady Eyed Pullover I picked up this off of ebay for a sensible price, another one has appeared with a tenner more on the price so this one was a welcome addition. Have not see many in the same condition either. That's all three of the lorries I had as a yougun now in the collection too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
