MDFord Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Is it just me or does anyone else find the middle pages easily become detached on recent copies of Classic Tractor? Speaking of this months middle page, that Deere 8640 is just beautiful ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 yeah i was reading Markys last wednesday, first time i've read it to be honest, found it quite informative considering :D, and his middle pages fell out all over the car, dont tell him though ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 i think you'l find it's because there is more pages per issue , or rory is putting shorter staples in so it looks like it's packed with quality items , of which it always is :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rorsday Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Dear MDFord, This is something that we have noticed with our own copies in the office and to be honest it annoys us as much as it probably does you! Suffice to say I do not think it has been a regular problem in recent months, although it certainly seems to be widespread in the March issue. It is correct to say that we have been increasing the size of the issues although even at 136 pages the centre pages should not be coming adrift from the staples. FB - I am glad you have been able to read the latest issue of Classic Tractor and found it quite informative. Hopefully we can make the next one very informative! Thank you all for your feedback which incidentally I have passed on to the publisher who will in turn be sending it on to the printer for their comments.

MODELFARMER Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I can just picture Rory telling them about the problem, then this . . . . .GET IT F?$%^&?G sorted!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Thank you all for your feedback which incidentally I have passed on to the publisher who will in turn be sending it on to the printer for their comments. Regards R Day Editor, Classic Tractor I had the same problem with the March issue, but hadn't noticed it previously. Don't these Internets make for great feedback channels, all the same? S: ps: Oliver Walston had 6 Schluters, not 4! The last two were bought in 1980 though. pps: If we could have more articles about Classic Tractors (Ford, Fordson, County, Roadless, Doe, Muir-Hill, Mailam, Northtrop, Eva, Nedalo, Bakker Ulrum, Mototecnica Agricola, Stenderup Maskinforretning, Agricar, Etc) and less of these grotty red and green things you occasionally use as padding. ppps: Forgot to mention; Another great edition.

Tractorman810 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Now that's interesting Rory... the fact that Ben dropped the pages of my copy (bought with my hard earned cash)... all over my car... AND didn't tell me makes me QUITE annoyed... should he do this with next months issue I will be VERY annoyed ! ... I wonder if there is any correlation there \ i would be more worried how he put it back together so quick mate cheers for the info rory, glad to know its being looked into at some point as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I think this probleem is caused by the fact that CT is just bursting with interesting articles and great photographs for the last while. I think T&M had the same problem and went for a sort of bound back for a while. Is there a possibility we might see this on CT in the future? Also, I find the front and back covers are very liable to smudge when holding them in your hands. Again T&M went for a glossy cover for a while which does not smudgee, but seem to have gone back to the normal type recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 well i'm buggered ,got to the middle pages & mine came away from the staples also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 At least mine has got a good excuse as its read by 3 people (dad usually falls asleep 10 times when he is reading it - same with every paper :D) and then it goes on its holidays to Dublin each week so it gets to go over 200km each week for 4 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 First time I have seen or read it was last month... Quite a good read as well... I'll be getting it every month from now on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorsday Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Marky I trust you liked the story on the prototype MF 1150s and the MF 4000 Series, not to mention the Irish collector and his MF 100 Series tractors....? It was a good month for MF enthusiasts. Can't promise it will be the same every month although there's a cracking feature on the MF 3000 Series in the next issue. Enjoy!

rorsday Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Marky There is a good reason why you don't have the issue containing the MF 3000 Series story: it is not out until 23rd February! RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Yeah I got that Rory.. I mean I still have the issue with the Advert for "whats in next month" telling me the 1150 is being featured... I'm refering to the one with the 1505 from Peterborough in it.. Cracking read... I'll chekc out my local Tesco tomorrow for this months current copy (February issues I assume) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorsday Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Nope, believe it or not it's the March issue already and it's packed with Masseys. Not sure if you'll find it in Tesco, though..... RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
