844john Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 I like it very much actually Paul, there are one or two things that I'd change, the number plate is on the wrong side for a UK model and it should have a couple of work lights on the back of the cab instead of on the mudguard, but that's just me being picky and anyway they could easily be sorted. I'd like another to convert into a SE model and add a loader but they're just a bit too expensive at the moment! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Looking good John , are you slowly working your way to a collection of 4 potters?? how long before you do a 26/2850? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 That's kind of my plan Paul, I intended to start with a 6400 and go through the 10, 20 and 30 series, adding the SE spec tractors too if I had the strength! However, I am tempted to do a 2850 next, but then of course there's the 40 series and the 30's, low roof options, OPU cabs, it kind of never ends! I do have a soft spot for these 4 potters of about 80 to 100hp, they have always been the stockman's choice of tractor As the saying goes, watch this space! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a canny plan there John, look forwards to seeing your 4 pot collection grow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thanks David, I hope to do another one that looks a bit more "used", this one's been a bit of a trial run I must admit I do think this is one of Britains better models of late 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Martin, actually I did the plans for a build of a Weeks trailer that we use for storing cake, might add silage sides to that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 That's my trouble Paul, I start off with the intention of just adding a couple of bits and bobs and then get all anal about the detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
