One of my latest additions to the collection is this Wiking Valtra N143 HiTech Unlimited Edition, issued at Agritechnica 2013 as a limited edition of 500 pcs.

And I still have a lot of Britains items waiting to be placed in front of my camera lens. :D

Very nice model I also have that in my collection as I was at Agritechnica 2013 and I would like to have the real one thanks for showing

Brake all the rules why don't you smithy:D 

seriously though those zetors and derivatives look nice models, there used to be loads around here, mostly the smaller 4cyl 2wd ones. They were always a great bait cabin at dinner time when working away from the farmhouse.

Yes I used to have a 2 wheel drive 6718 and plenty of room in the cab to have lunch and store your bike

thats what i thought mate, could only just have gone on when i saw it, most i see are well beyond any normal care, will have a proper look when it gets here . i am hoping the lift arms are ok, cant really tell, but the hunt will be on for some origonal spare parts now i suspect

That's a lovely model Smithy, very, very nice. I'm guessing the wife was out when you took the photos, I tend to hide some of my larger buys until the time is right to confess, sure I'm not the only one!:D

Yes she is out at a parish council meeting tonight and I am supposed to be doing paperwork , got the front door locked so I can get off here before I let her in haha

My  Weise Claas Xerion 4000 saddle Trac turned up today :)

looks like rear upper linkage is broken so will have to repair it unless I can buy a spare, but I am going to build a sprayer to go on it as mine is a little small ;)

When not spraying hope to be able to fit a silage rake/pusher on the front :)

A nice bargain there Sean. My view is to leave it as it is, it's a well played with, and loved, toy. Boxed ones are nice, but not even all of those are in mint condition in my experience. As per Smithy I've payed a lot more for similar condition ones, albeit pre ebay

 Replacement parts are readily available so you could replace those missing items. Rear wheel removal can be a bit tricky though

Go for it,I started scratch building one 3 / 4 years ago,just to run out of inspiration,:( no need to buy that extortionately priced 3D stuff,I made my tank out of a  ferrero rocher box,and hand made the pump / pipeing,which is now available on the Holmer Terra Variant, the Ferrero box does need cutting down a wee bit,but dimensions are on that 3D site,

Regards

Joe.
