b_emmons Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I have just returned to the 1:32 Carpet farming collecting and looking for ideas of what to collect and how to show them off. I have a good collection of John Deere and Valtra Tractors by Siku and Universal Hobbies, just need to buy more accessories As a new venture I have gone from having never owned a combine to now having 3, A Fendt and John Deere by Siku, and a battered Britains MF760 that I am going to practice converting techniques on Also brought my first Wiking tractor, a Claas 5000 and also have the weight set for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_emmons Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 thank you for the replies hope to get some photo's done and posted soon Might even have a go at some retro reviews, as the models have come along way since I last collected in the late 70's and early eighties I am surprised about how detailed the Viking Claas is, and also how playable it is, the only poor bit I have found is in the design of the rear tow bar but may make an adapter or just file all my trailers hitches to fit the weight set and adapter for Siku accessories works fine in both front and rear 3 point linkages. It also came in a Class dealer box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Xerion looks the business! thank you it is my first ever high end model (Wiking) and is really detailed but also robust enough to carpet farm with the only poor part is the tow hook design so have to open all my trailers and implements out to a 3.5 mm hole or larger going to see if I can find a 3.7 or 3.8 mm drill piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
