Valley Axe Man Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks for all the comments Jack, Christian, David and Justin It's been demo'd on a 7000, so I guess it'll be the tractor of choice for now Jack, although time will tell Hard to say what will appear next off Andy, David.... I'm waiting on the Kidd that I actually ordered, but I know he's busy building a batch of JCB's at the minute, but I'm sure whatever it turns out to be the wait will be worth it Your not wrong Justin. Andy would do a hell of a job of a 717 and really suit a 7600 or my County 974.....

Tractorman810 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 very nice Paul you certainly cant fault his finished products , sadly not nice comments about a batch of jcb's being done given its 5 years odd now since my 1250 was ordered and deposit paid for , have tried numerous times to get a answer from him, to date he's not replied to any messages I have left either , clearly he speaks to you at least ,sadly for me I doubt it will ever appear ?? and even if it does?? he will never get the plough order we discussed when I ordered it, which is a shame for me . don't want to hijack your topic but I have given up on him now, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Them Kidd double chops share alot of similarities with the Taarup double chops of the same era. They are actually near identical if you compare the features on both.. Was there a partnership between both companys does anyone know??

Valley Axe Man Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 As far as I know Justin... the latter end of Kidd were under the Tarrup ownership, as some of the Kidd machinery was issued in Tarrup red( some with kidd decals some with the smiley cow), Tarrup then got swallowed up by Kverneland, but at a discussion with Steve Harris at Toytrac this year... Kidd are back building some items of farm machinery. Not sure of dates of the mergers though but I do know that Tarrup were building foragers for a long time in Denmark.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Just a little update to the collection now we've started another year, along with it being almost two years since I started sharing my collection in this thread...but who knows what addition's will be added in this next 12 months?? No new additions to report since my last update with my purchases from Penrith but a couple of tractors have been moved on out of the Valley to find new homes in other collections, both of my Ford 4000's now live near the Scottish Borders in Cumbria and the 4600 (along with a Doe 150) have ventured across the North Sea to find a new home in Holland, (Thanks Mike) And I know both David and Jack will give all four tractors a reet good home ..... but work already started on a replacement 4000 and 4600, along with other builds that seem to have come to a standstill over the past few months Good News is that during a bit of a sort through I have now found my silver edition UH Power Major that I'd thought I'd lost along with the standard version of the UH blue grey Super Major, pics to be added shortly at next update..... but still seem to have other tractors that are misplaced..... oh well.... I think they'll turn up someday when I least expect it 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Time for a little update, at last a few more photo's ....firstly the lost but now found Silver plated UH Power Major.... .....And a couple of Browns implements off Andy at Classic, A Grassland Slitmaster.... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Valley Axe Man Posted March 29, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) ....And a Browns Yard Scraper..... "Where there's muck there's money" Along with a set of trailed ZigZag harrows, Unknown OEM but finished in Parmiter blue, 3 section medium chip.... Other news from the collection is that a couple more items have head up the M6 and up to the Scottish Borders, to join David's growing collection of "blues" in the shape of a spare County 754, and a couple of implements including the John Deere conventional baler and Rob Agri-modelz Neesham's 56 bale carrier..... After David's first display at Gretna he must have got the exhibiting bug or planning a scene Edited March 29, 2015 by Valley Axe Man 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Valley Axe Man Posted March 29, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2015 Not exactly on topic of my collection.... but quite a few have been supplied by me Here are a couple of photo's of "Big David's" collection of 16th blues at this years Gretna show and his first ever display....... Hopefully he'll continue to carry on displaying 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
