Popular Post mb86 Posted April 20, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Today’s arrival is some what bittersweet. I’ve been looking forward to receiving this Minitrac 286 Super Hayliner baler for a good while, finally delivered today albeit a few months late and incurring import charges which I wouldn’t have applied had it been on time but that is down to manufacturing and shipping problems because of the current situation. Unfortunately it has suffered a bit of damage in transit, a wheel parting from the axle and the pto shaft and a reel height guide snapping off but hopefully all will be put right, minitrac are sending me a new shaft and the other parts should glue on. Otherwise a stunning model, even the knotters are a good representation of New Holland ones. Better photos to follow once repaired.

mb86 Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 A couple of additions. Firstly another NZG digger, this time a 550, as with the 4550 it has minor damage, this time a pin missing from the front loader and cracked windows but as I’m planning on eventually adding extra detail that doesn’t matter. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Second is a second hand Three Oaks built, K2 1000 rear discharge spreader. It looks to have been an ex hire machine with a couple of bits to put right. The slurry door needs a coat of paint and a touch up on the rest of the model here and there as well as the bed chains are loose in places but otherwise a cracking model although I think it looks bigger than a 10 ton, possible 12? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
