Has there ever been a model made of a lely combine. If I remember they were Fisher humphries.

I guess that one would have had a cab as there appears very little to stop the operator going over the side. Our contractors ran two of them.

Model wise though I've not seen one. Anyone else?

The fleet that I used to see as a kid in the late 70's all had cabs.

Great model Sean. When my brother and I were boys we wrote to Britains suggesting that they should make a Lely combine. Britains had never made a combine of any make at that time. We got a polite letter back thanking us for our idea but nothing came of it. Years later they made their first combine, a Massey 760.
