Recommended Posts

i bet it is, whilst i aint a jd man, i am considering it despite the exhaust , will get one via my uncle i think, along with the 7810 when it arrives, may as well get the discount via the dealer eh

Of course you are a JD man, only thing is that you don't know it yet ;)

Latest additions:

 

Norscot Challenger MT765 (from fellow forum member brianih634).

 

Ertl/Britains JD 8630 (Plow City 2007 model)

Ros Horsch Sprinter 18 ST drill

Britains Case IH Magnum 340

Britains JD 8345RT

 

Waiting for some PMA 32 bits to arrive as well. NH and Claas grain tanks and a Matrot side knife for my Dominator 96.

 

Just some bits and pieces that were missing in the collection! Sadly my regular model supplier doesn't always seem to have all the latest items in stock, which means I miss out on quite a few items. Seems I will need to make another visit soon for the JD 4955 and Versatile 550!

Looks proper smart hooked to that fergy Jack :)

 

The models are spot on against the real deal!! Very nice Jack. ;)

 

Looking good Jack have you changed the MF4255 and NH chopper ??

 

 

Thanks for the great comments lads,

 

Thats the plan, to make our our farm equipment in model form over time

 

Yes Robert we sold the Massey 4255 in the summer of last year, Got the 5440 in place of it

 

We still have the NH doublechop in the shed incase we ever need it for zero grazing, we've enough silage still to last another couple of weeks but it could be out this year unless it warms up abit and the ground dries,

 

Unfortunately the harvester isn't on in the picture ready for first cut, that'll be a while yet

Ah Jack I see it looks  and heres me thinking you where getting ready for first cut :D was going to ask could I come up to you with my MF3085 to cart in along side your mint MF298 :D  A

 

lot of boys around us are using doublechops as they have no silage and there cutting there silage now but taking it in to feed but thankfully we are like yourselfs we have silage to last us in the end of june but our grass seems to be growing ok but its just to wet to put stock out so we might be cutting more silage this year as the grass might get in front of us and to long for the cows

Sorry to burst your Bubble Bob

 

The 298 is gone aswell, broke our heart in repairs, couldn't keep a clutch in it and was forever stopping with fuel problems,

 

Got a good price for it so let it go, clutch didn't last 100 hours last time for whatever reason,

 

Just never worked when we needed it which was about twice a year to mix slurry and draw grass so we let her go,

 

A man not far from us then bought it from the dealer and now has a front linkage on it which he puts a buckrake on, this is his second, seems to suit him well due to the duncan Lift off cab

 

This is what we have now in place of it

Thanks Bob

 

Apparently the 298 wasn't the best of the range

 

290 was supposed to be a far better tractor

 

Haven't actually seen the 298 with the linkage but might see If I can go round when he's at the grass to see if I can get a few pictures of her in action!

From what I can see on the photo only opened? We need those on the normal Lexion!

 

Bought myself a UH MF 1080 4WD and Britains Ford TW 10 today. Sadly the 2WD cabbed 1080 and the other Ford's weren't in yet :-(.
