MDFord Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'm sure that there was one on the Britains stand at Toytrac as well Sean, because I bought the Kane classic trailer thinking it would match up after seeing that one. It had gone when I went to have another look. Not to worry, they are both excellent models for the money, really like the Deere 3765, but I had to paint over the unpainted rivets etc. My Toytrac purchases were all Britains, Deere 3765 trailed forager, NC Dump trailer (also an excellent model) Kane Classic silage trailer and a mint boxed old Straw box MF 130 drill.

FendtFarmer Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Got this cultivator today through eBay, not happy though first picture is the one and second is the one I've received (box has wear around the edges/faded and it's even broke on a wing soon fixed with glue) and the third one is the one I thought I was getting, it was listed in as new condition any help will be appreciated as to what I should do or am I just being picky?? **issue now solved, if anyone has a box and sleeve like above let me please** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the same that's not the same cultivator or box as you say. Are you happy to keep it? If so if start with a polite message saying it looks like it has been damaged in the post and therefore isn't worth as much in your immaculate boxed britains collection which you have been collecting for 20 years etc etc therefore would they consider giving you a partial refund. If you don't want it I'd still be quite polite about it for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FendtFarmer Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 nothing actually wrong with the cultivator apart from the broken bit which can be fixed, just the box isn't in good condition considering it looks mint in the photo, I am happy to keep it and could easily get another box to restore it to mint I suppose, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always have a good selection of models for sale and a great play area for the kids. on the open days. I hope you weren't knocking the little ones out of the way to play with the tractors john.

844john Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I was actually, no respect these these kids today, you'd think it was aimed at children! It was manic early on when we popped in but the kids do seem to love it, I always take pleasure in seeing them enjoying themselves, I built the tables that the farms are on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 You would aye! I heard it was heaving, it is great for the kids, where else does that, I can't think of anywhere else that has britains on the shelves. Or do connellys still have them in? Tables are a great idea, although I think they need one full height for us big kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Slightly ashamed to say ive bought two of these previously but not kept them...but i have reached the conclusion its the best telehandler model you can get...my reasoning will be part of a post some time soon...so here we are third time lucky!!!

I always find I can manage if I kneel down at the tables, mind, sometimes getting back up can be a problem Connellys always had a good selection of Britains, but it seems not so now, I still think that even in this techno age it's nice that some kids still want to play with toys, and that's how we all learned years ago. Better stop now, I'm beginning to sound like Victor Meldrew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 A few weeks back I phoned Ernest Does at Framingham and asked to speak to the senior sales manager Mr Goodwin I told him I was thinking about buying another case tractor and I wonted his best price which he said he would get his calculator out of his desk draw I could hear some rummaging around which I think sounded like he was taking the lid of the biscuit tin and getting another ginger nut biscuit to go with his cup of tea anyway we started talking about size and specification to which I added in I would like a front end -loader fitted ,Mr Goodwin started asking about tire sizes ,spool valves and stuff to which I replied as to what we was looking four and the most important specification I needed was it must have a set of pedals between the front and rear wheels ,now the noise I heard over the phone was definitely the lid being put back on the ginger nut tin ,anyway after he had calmed down we had a deal on this .

JEP Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Love it Mr Smith As I said the other day, don't put it anywhere near your FW30, and make sure you go round it with the grease gun when you have finished - and I will be having a good look at the bale counter......!!

CX820Joe Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Bought the Norscot version of the CAT telehandler...as it doesnt have a driver figure...so can look more accurate parked up at night ...i think the Diecast Masters version a little more refined but have put it up for sale on ebay now as this was coming! Its not got a very high bid...perhaps if that doesnt change ill take it off and keep it! This one has stiff front axle and the boom is also quite stiff (seen reviews of examples with booms which won't hold up) however the headstock seems very loose so i doubt somehow whether it will hold the resin seed bags in position.
