bluegreen Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Special thanks to Smithy for arranging a visit for me to DOE Power at Framlingham on Tuesday, where I also met up with CASE Salesman extraordinaire Graham "Goody" Goodwin We spent an enjoyable couple of hours discussing tractors, model tractors and brochures before touring round the site and having a close look at the superb new Optum 300 cvx. I wanted to have a good look around the new Optum before I was prepared to part with £85 for the Marge replica.......................I didn't appreciate just how high up it is to get in the Optums cab........it really is a fantastic bit of kit. Heres a few photos of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Only just seen this Bluegreen glad you enjoyed you morning over at Does it was a pleasure to arrange the tour around and meet up with you but I cant take all the credit for this as it was goody that set it all up we was both a bit worried when you was driving round the yard as like you say it is a big tractor and with all the other stuff in the yard space was a bit tight but for the first time in that tractor you was excellent well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Frankly even I'm not that picky.....................as long as its upholstered in beige and not grey I wont notice the difference! I am currently finishing my latest Puma convo a 240 model with britains bonnet (check my 185 cvx in convo section) and I'm thinking that's big enough for my diorama. Mind you as soon as one of the natives start roaring around the village in an Optum or Blue power HD I will probably buy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
