mb86 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 It would indeed. I guess they had the perks in over here for ease of maintenance and spares availability. When I get a few mins spare I'll have to see what they were fitted with for their home market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I have no connection to one particular model I'm not desperate to have one. Unless someone releases a classic NH combine, then the claas will be given the boot.

The most modern tractor I've drove is a John Deere 6900!! I know what you mean Mark, I do like some of the new kit and enjoy sprucing up some of the new replica models, but for sheer charisma its Ford, JD and Massey from the 80s and early 90s, and you can keep most of the rest ha ha!. I only got to drive what my friends on three local farms had, which were Ford 7610 & 7810, MF 3125 ,699, 2725e, 2680 and an old MF200 (Awful tractor) JD3650 & 3140 and a quick roar up the field in a 4450.................................Oh yes and also a spin around Langars airfield in new at the time 7930, 7830 and 7530 Deeres. The JD3650 was the nicest one to drive as I recall, but I was mad on MFs and Fords back in the mid 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I recently bought a JD4755 and 7810 for around £60 each and a 7430 for £52 which I ebayed immediately and got £116, that took the two schucos down to £30 apiece They were all quite difficult to find and all three were the last ones on the dealers stock list. Got a cheap Wiking Valtra for £35 on the way. This caught my eye after one of the local farmers had bought two more of the real ones, so a few about here now. All dark green and the latest one has grey wheels instead of white which actually look rather good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
