Cooper model farms

[Jack390]

Has anyone heard of Cooper Farm Models? Bought this bale trailer built by them last summer. It’s a really good brass (I think) built trailer but the rims let it down.

Possibly the late Ron and Mick Cooper? I’ve a number of their items mostly brass. A subsoiler and a couple of ploughs they made probably back in the early 2000’s.

Thanks, I had figured it was quite an old model. Could you post some photos of the plough and subsoiler up? Would be curious to see them.

They had an unbelievable diorama back about 20+ years ago. Much of it with hand made models.

Think I have something by these people, a trailed furrow press that folds up for road transport. Will try and get a picture up, memory willing!

got a feeling some of the “cooper” stuff went through one of the m&m auctions a while back, a set of discs, trailer and a few other bits ,seem to remember it was listed as ron and micks in the description . have seen other bits in the past at shows as well

I have this. It came from the late Brian Parkes collection, I believe he cast the rings for them.

If you or anyone else could find the article and post it up here I’d love to read it!

I think it was about 20 years ago.

Where does the time go?

I remember a number of us travelled over to Spalding around that time and some of the lads stopped off to see the diorama as it was close to their route to the show.

I have the ltd ed Keeble Bros cultivator which they produced back in 2003. I have the certificate (somewhere),  along with the ring press as per the previous images

Is it exactly the same as mine?

[mike whiting]

When it warms up at the weekend @super6 I'll go in the loft and let you know

I have these, I think they are cooper but if anyone can confirm that be great, subsoiler was cousins green before I repainted it, and the trailed single press. Both all metal construction

No, they were produced by bloke who attended Toytrac. He used the simba parts for packer rollers. I had one of his fertiliser spreaders with a bag lifter. Can't remember his name but as far as Im aware he stopped modelling a few years ago.

Thank you Mike, he must of cast the rings as there all individual and metal

@super6 heres my towed ring press, a great model, 100% brass and metal,  I'd like to swap the wheels for some with more realistic tyres, possibly flotation also adding a rear lighting system. I had the model made to fit the width of my display cabinet

[Jack390]

Some great models posted up 👍

@mike whiting thanks,  a bit larger than mine, your tyres are more realistic though
