Jack390 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillTEF20 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be curious to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 They had an unbelievable diorama back about 20+ years ago. Much of it with hand made models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super6 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) I have this. It came from the late Brian Parkes collection, I believe he cast the rings for them. Edited January 4 by super6 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FendtFarmer Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 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 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike whiting Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike whiting Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 @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 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
