Rick Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Ive never seen one of these combines before? What's the skinny on them? [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hi Rick, Looks like a 1/32 Ros New Holland TX 66 Combine. Not that common a combine I don't think in the model world, but in 1/1 scale there quite common here in the UK. They are quite good, detail being ok has wing mirrors, beacons etc. The quality though isn't so good plastic is rather delicate and brittle I find. This may be a dumb question but what is a skinny? Also Rick do you have any info on the 1/32 Ertl/britains New Holland CR 960 combine are these common or quite hard to find now. How many where made and are they still being made. Just bought one so want some general info on them. Can you help? Thanks Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks What the "skinny" slang for "what is the information" or "what is the deal" Let me do some research on the NH CR 960 Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 Nathan: As far as the CR 960 they came out in the Spring of 04 I found them at the first two dealers I checked so I would assume they are not hard to find. They sell over here somewhere between 20 to 22 pounds. Also considering ( a sad fact) collectors in the North America are not much into 1/32 so for that reason again I would assume the CR 960 is not too hard to find. ..I bet the 1/64 scale of the 960 has outsold the 1/32 a long ways over here........ As far as how many have been made Im not sure and I dont think Ertl releases that figure........I will look into that issue more......

GARETHS MODELS Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 yes, good old ros, never too over concerned with little details like realism. they made 2 versiuons [same model, but the latter one had the coloured and black decals behind the nh name ......you know what i mean!] Ga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fendt pwr Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I've got that ROS combine and to my mind the front looks/works like a windrower more than anything......It cuts the crop and lays it in a row under the wheels to dry out ready for combining at a later date.

Would that also be known as a swather? FP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the bairn 11 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 THAT WOULD BE A SWATHER,BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT ROS MENT YOU TO THINK THEY JUST DIDN'T FINISH IT VERY WELL.THE OLD MF760 FROM BRITAINS COULD BE ACCUSED OF THE SAME IF THAT WAS THE CASE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 FP, i can see a name change soon!! . Any one made a conversion of one of these?, i've thought about using a forklift as a base model but dont know how to get the height?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the bairn 11 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 THE SWATHER HEADER IS USUALLY SMALLER THAN ?THE HEADER ON COMBINE THAT FOLLOWS UP SO COMBINE SWALLOWS IT NO PROBS.THE COMBINE I AM ON TAKES 2 15FT SWATHS WHEN WE DO OSR AND DONT DESICATE IT. THEY HAVE BELTS ?AT THE BACK THAT THROW THE OUTSIDE OF THE SWATH IN THE WAY IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN AS THE AUGERS DO ON THE COMBINE HEADER.

NCC Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I have thought about making a conversion on a old Britains Claas Jag but have never gotten round to it. A quick fix though is to put a Siku MF or Fendt combine head on the Siku JD 7400 or 7500 chopper. Dave Towse does a OSR draper head to harvest rape after it's been swathed though.

FB Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 the class jag was another option but i didnt want to damage it (i have many ideas but no conversion skills!!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I don't suppose you'd ever build one with a maize head? probably no use but I have three of those heads knocking around.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
