I still like the green and the red very much, but I suppose the blue isn't bad either Thanks John .. Variety is always good. Most of the stuff I collect is the classic 70's to 90's era tractors . But the modern NH, JD & MF will always find a place here too. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I know what you mean, for all International and John Deere are closest to my heart, like you I still collect many other brands, I suppose it's just what takes your fancy really. I will admit that I do have a soft spot for Fords from the classic era, but I try to keep that quiet! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Might be in for some grief here from my fellow BLUE fanatics !! But there has always been abit of MF in the blood also.. Picked up these from EBAY during the week. A few UH Masseys .. Nice models .. UH MF 2680 Pitty about the exhaust on the 2680 on the wrong side. Still a nice model. UH MF 6475 UH MF 5480 Edited August 28, 2017 by justy 46 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 These pics were taken before the height of the storm (sorry hurricane ) last Monday ! Before I lost everything essential for social media !! I paired up the NC dumper & Jd 3765 to tractors for a few pics . Britains hit the nail on the head again with these . Good functionality with them & the detail aint bad ether . Well worth the money & these are the kind of implements that were needed for us collectors & carpet farmers . Britains seem to deliver for the UK & Irish collectors more so than the rest . So hats off to them . 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The more I see that forager the more I think it will be on my Penrith list That is true about Britains Justin, they do get a lot of stick but as you say they are one of the few manufacturers who do replicate the machinery common on British farms. At the end of the day they are still aimed at the toy market, but as a cheap base for adding a little detail they are usually not far off the mark. At least if you go shopping for some Britains models with £100 in your wallet you will need more than one bag to carry them! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even tough they are classed as a toy more over than a model ... There is still something about them that draws you in. They are giving products familiar to the UK & Irish farmer . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Nice additions to your collection Justin. It might be a £15 toy but the John Deere forager is one of my favourite model releases this year. Fully agree with you there's just something (nostalgia, childhood carpet farming memories ) that draws you in to models like the forager. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the older collectibles from our childhood & new stuff + the heritage stuff .. Britains are still the kings & it was Britains that were there for this hobby from day one . Every older gen collector here on the forum started with a Britains tractor of some kind . So the are special from that side if things . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
