Niels Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Julian, sorry for the confusion yes it's Schuco I know. The new 724 S4 is now at the Fendt dealers, together with the new 828 and 313. If Wiking were going to do a 724 that would be very unwise (and unlikely). Siku, UH and Schuco have all done one. Well Schuco 2 in fact. The 1050 is THE tractor that everyone is after so it seems likely they will do one. Also Wiking have previously covered most big models from Fendt? 936 and 828 in different versions. (standard, Adblue, now the T4Bs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 well i hope wiking do release the 724,as i have said before,purely for their realistic working rear linkage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboyjules1977 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 I copy that paul , I hope they do aswell , But in the end it all comes down to personal preference and what suits your own diorama and budget .our fendt dealers must be lacking around our area as they seem to only have the new 313 and the new version of the 828 in stock and they seem to be quite ltd at the moment !

Agrimodels Pitman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Looking through the up dates I noticed your pump is on the front linkage when your doing the anbilical work. I didn't realise they made a pump that worked off a front linkage. What make is it?. Grate up dates tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboyjules1977 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hes not actually working off the front pto ,as you can see in the pictures there is no pto shaft connected , it is only that way for carrying on the roads and in the picture that way for illustration purposes , Although it is a hi spec pump , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it Juilan!

tractorboyjules1977 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 A quiet weekend ahead with only a few of the boys in , getting machines in the workshop for servicing next week , first in we got the destoner then in the ridgers , Back out in the yard the Saturday lad has been on hauling out manure from the rearing unit , hopefully be the last time before we start turning out some heifers in early to mid april depending on the weather .Also decided to drop the lemken drill off and hitch up the 3m ,as we"ve got some hilly drilling to do next week and as we had a deluge of rain all day Friday , the ground tends to hang a bit on the soft side so we took the sensible decision to go for a little less weight 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboyjules1977 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Getting towards the middle of the week and the yard is looking decidedly empty due to nearly all tractors out ! busy on tanking and cleaning out the lagoon with the slew and 2 spreaders , spreading on stubble ready for preparation of ground for beet , alex from Oakley been on the phone wanting 2 tractors and trailers for hauling chicken litter tomorrow from frogmary to selvinge , keep the boys amused ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakley Farms Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Mark the skid steer driver will be pleased to have a 65kph Fendt on the job tomorrow!

tractorboyjules1977 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Back out with the plough this weekend 40 acres of stubble to be turned over ready for beet preparation at the end of next week , then off to turn over another 120 acres of stubble ready for customers maize grounds , seems to have been never ending this last week with the plough chasing the cultivators out of the fields . The workshop seems to be getting buisier with the power harrow just coming in for new tines and a service and a quick run through on the maize drill , Still got at least 2 loads of haylage going out a week aswell , just as weve got stock feed potatoes coming in at a load a week from Oakley . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorboyjules1977 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 thanks ol very much appreciated , after all it is a bit of fun but something we all enjoy and spend time trying to make improvements on and make things as close to the real thing as poss , but without the headaches and bills ;D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboyjules1977 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 The weather has decided to play havoc this weekend with all plans gone out the window , We just managed to get another 25 acres of spring barley in for a customer up at tuncombe nr crewkerne just in time before things started to get decidedly sticky with heavy showers forecasted , Back in the yard we got most of the potato equipment hitched up ready for Monday morning , but looking at the weather for the next few days it don't look like much will be happening in that department ! but at least were ready to go if things improve . The maize drills in ready for a quick service while the fitters were in twiddling there thumbs in and out the rain . On a lighter note Drews of dinton have been up and dropped in a demo S series valtra to put through its paces on the the 5m disc/culti , Thought we would give em another go as the last valtra didn't really leave a lasting impression , As we speak I think Alex is having her down Oakley for a few days to try after weve had a little play ! Roll on sunny skies and we can get the kit all rolling !!! Back in the office a meeting with greenslade taylor and hunt saw us agree to take on 235 acres up at winsham just off the back of cricket st Thomas estate , the ground up there is all down to grass and has been used for sheep keep , we will be in to rip all that up at a later stage and this will all go down to maize ideal for the AD plant , a good opportunity too good to miss and right on the doorstep so to speak just pays to keep your ear to the ground on future opportunitys . Just a little update on the AD plant she should be fully functional in the next 2-3 weeks , Hopefully !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakley Farms Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It will certainly be interesting to see how the Valtra performs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Will the AD plant be fully functional in a few weeks or do you intend on shutting it down unless you have enough feed? Otherwise you would need to buy in maize or grass in order to keep it fed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
