SPN's Collection


SPN

Recommended Posts

The Bulldozer collection and how the new machines look on the KOBA lowloader. I must finish building a larger KOBA lowloader for the Hino 6x4 which will match better with the Hymac.

The FIAT-Allis dozer is from the mid 80s and the New Holland is from the late noughties

The collection is supposed to start in 1965, but here's another sneak preview of Milltown House machinery yard in about 1960.

Still have some fettling to do so I can hopefully start the 1965 photos next week. Need to find a way to get more light into the barn for one thing.

Fast forward to the late 80s and early 90s, when harvester capacity ramped up quickly and different approaches to ramping up mower capacity had to be looked at.

(Schuco) Deutz InTrac 6.60 with (BOR) Agrimech Grasshopper and (Agrarmodell) Deutz-Fahr KM25F front mower

(Weise) Fendt 615LSA with (BOR) Taarup 307 with windrower and (BOR) Taarup 317F front mower

The latest arrival is the SE FineCast kit for a 1925 7hp Allchin traction engine. I've been promising myself this one for nearly 20 years.

I don't know when this will get to the top of the (very long) build list, but it's finally here.

We had a lot of Manitou machines out on a recent job, including lots and lots of Rotos.

But my favourite by far was the 625 I hired in for my team.

75hp, 6m reach, 2.5 tonne capacity, neat and tidy, and very useful around the place.

I never rated the UH model of the 625 as I couldn't see the purpose for such a small machine. Boy was I wrong.

So I bought one. Here it is with the ROS Roto

A new theme in recent years has been 2wd 6 cylinder tractors. It started out with Fordson and Ford but has now been expanded to other makes.

I currently have one Massey, the 2620, and hope one day to get an 1135 as well. Other options could be 399, 699 and some of the 3000 series. We'll see.
