MDFord Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 dont see many like that collins arround, only ever seen one real one myself a long time ago Had you in mind when I took that pic Sean Must say I liked the Ford 7600, with the nicely aged original look.

Tractorman810 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 slightly older version than mine, but only difference in the cabs really, that and running gear, guessing that would be the ford skid unit, where as early ones were ih skids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Lovely selection of photographs from the show Mark, one or two tractors I recognise from events i've attended. That TW-35 and John Deere 3650 look the business. Thank you David, nice comment from the ftf professional photographer The 3650 was lush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughmaster Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) did collins do a teleporter?? RW Collins actually designed the original Teleporter, and the few original Collins versions that were made are now a very rare commodity indeed!. Due to the limits of their own production capabilities, they entered into an agreement with Sanderson Forklifts to productionise and market it. There was an article in Classic Tractor a couple of years ago about the original Collins version (which had the cab on the opposite side from the production version that Sandersons built). I seem to think that the relationship between Sandersons and Collins went sour and Sanderson laid full claim to the rights to the design and Collins were left feeling they had been shafted.

Tractorman810 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Well I never knew that they made some teleporters Clive , knew of the merge as I have seen teleshifts in Sanderson and manitou colours before but have never ever seen a pic of a colins teleporter in their colours or ever seen a brouchure for them either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 ....an original Collins Teleporter ?? Thanks Clive, had a search and came up with this....... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COLLINS-TELEPORTER-/330591458610#ht_500wt_969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thank you David, nice comment from the ftf professional photographer The 3650 was lush Enthusiastic amateur just like yourself. Thanks Mark, i'm very humbled. Looking through some of the other tractors you've captured that Ford 7600 looks in very tidy order too. Drove a 7600 when I was at agricultural college just over ten years ago on a 3 furrow reversible Ransomes plough, rather enjoyed it. Fairly sure they've now moved it on.
