Kirely Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I only knew Jones made the old style red bailer used along with a Thrasher so I was surprised to come across a pickup version at the Transport Museum on Anglesey. It would make a great model but it would take some like John with the skills to do it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Agri Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I do indeed, well more brown but oh well ha ha!! Its a Jones Super star. Tacla Taid actually have 2 Super stars they also have a restored one in their collection which still gets used at haymaking. I went a few years back whilst in the area and planning on going back in a couple of weeks time. Not very far from home their ones considering Jones were in Mold, Flintshire so only a few miles away Its funny you should mention about John and a model one, it was only last week i asked if he'd build mine! :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Agri Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 It looks like its seriously deteriorated since i last saw it in 2016, trouble with keeping balers outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Agri Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 This is a really good book if anyones interested. Shows quite a lot about Jones and it wasn't just the balers. They even made a combine The Cruiser however only a few were made. I believe this is the only survivor and lives in North Wales in a museum. # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Its a good book, picked these up a couple of years ago, I suspect they had more badges made than the real self propelled baler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
