jsedelweiss Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I've got a strange one. It's the early type, the same as the blue one with the old decal but instead of it being blue it's green. Never seen one before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I've got a strange one. It's the early type, the same as the blue one with the old decal but instead of it being blue it's green. Never seen one before I used to have one of those too, like a pale, almost torqouise green.

super6 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 The early green one The first version blue one, this decal also found on the green colour version as above picture These come with orange coloured tipping handles and land rover style knobbly tyres. Next version had a silver or bare metal tipping handle, still with early land rover tyres but as far as I am aware only in blue. These appear to have been available for only a short period before the tyre/wheel combination was changed for the less chunky ones as fitted to latter swb land rovers. I bought a red coloured trailer a while back with yellow wheel centres, possibly made at the time the autoway series was wound up to use up parts \ or possibly not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 well milo, thats the very first one i have seen boxed, and probally only the 5th or 6th of that colour trailer i have seen inc my own, looks like you did well there mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 ....that said some one did mention a mf red one with white wheels, but i have never seen or heard of that version before I haven't come across one with white wheels either, but there may be one with off-white (or cream) coloured wheels ?? (same colour as is also found on some versions of the Vicon Multi-Spreader and Howard Rotaspreader). Maybe these are being referred to as white by some people - we all have slightly different conceptions of colour, and having myself taken part in a research project that involved a colour blindness test many years ago, I was surprised at how large a percentage of people do actually suffer from some degree of colour blindness, but do not realise it! I also have the red MF200 with red wheels, and also the one in red with yellow wheels. I am pretty sure that the Land Rover type wheels and tyres on the early silage trailers were superceded by the narrower 'generic' type wheels and tyres around 1978 (when the 8-wheeled trailer was introduced). The Land Rovers were also fitted with the narrower tyres from the same time. The early blue ones have a blue tailgate, but from about the time the MF200 version was introduced, they had a silver tailgate, like the MF200 and Claas versions - and the late Macau manufactured versions of the MF and Claas trailers had tampo printed decals instead of the paper stickers used on the UK made ones (both MF and Claas trailers were made in Macau after 1996/7, but production of some of the range was subsequently transferred to China around 1999/2000 - does anyone have one of these trailers made in China??) The only other one I have is a late version of the blue/orange trailer with the 'bull decal' (the same as used on the cab doors of the Magirus Deutz livestock lorry) - I imagine they had used up the last of the 'Tipping Trailer' decals and used those instead?? Mine is 99%mint, but is unboxed and has no silage top - I haven't seen a boxed one to know whether it came in the normal box with a silage top or in the MF200 box without the top. I believe it to be genuine as I have seen two others (and I seem to think someone may have posted a picture of one on FTF several years ago? - can't find that one now).

milo Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 ok another MF200 variation.... standard issue on these wheels or has someone changed them? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Britains-Massey-Ferguson-Silage-trailer-/330665791169?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item4cfd378ec1#ht_500wt_1287 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 that looks like a wheel swap to me, unless its the late red wheels they used where you don't see the axel in the middle, like the late fendt green ones, very hard to tell from that shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertw1 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I have the fendt version, it says made in china on the bottom and the paint work is spot on is it a reproduction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaywilli7610 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Some very interesting reading, great topic. I must admit I didn't realise there were so many variations. I have the lime green trailer (with MF decals) and know of a couple of others but never in a box. Great find there Milo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 i belive thats a real one bob, they are not that old so good nick ones are easy to find still ment to say theres also two versions of the deutz one out there, ones yellow wheeled like mine, , the other grey wheeled, do not know if both came in the forager set as i think theres two deutx box sets out there from memory, so may be ones from the other set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I have the fendt version, it says made in china on the bottom and the paint work is spot on is it a reproduction? It looks very similar to the one in set 40841 which I posted earlier in this topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phipps Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I anyone feels tempted,please be aware that the MF200 trailer doesn't connect up well with a MF7480.You pull the hitch up & the trailer trys to lift into the air.The only tractor I ever ound it worked well with was the Mercedes 1500 or the MF2680,being so heavy..
