Beautiful collection there mate especially like the Fordson being winched.

I see from your name and profile picture you must like the Fordson E27N. They did one of these with a trailing plough some years ago called " At the vintage". I'm afraid i don't have a shot of that one to post.

I would say that is a fairly accurate listing Peter. I don't have JH46 / JH64 / JH70 / JH91B / B0361 & B0273 but I assume its right since you normally always are! !!

I haven't even seen B0273... you would'nt have a photo to share would you?

Other points:

On  B0735 Bringing in the Harvest the certificate on mine is 850 but a 750 stamp on the model. I refused to return it to the factory to get it amended as i thought it was unique. Don't know if they stamped them all incorrectly though.

On B0985 lacking Horse power I would add it is a limited edition of 950.

And finally the add to list

Issued Ref Name Limited

2005 BO946 The Last Laugh 950

2006 BO978 Reversible ploughing 1500

2006 BO917 Sowing the good seed 950

2007 B1057 Old Meets New 950

2007 A6343 Clearing out N/A

2007 A7687 Dawn till dusk ( Backlit MF35 Lamp N/A

Nae easy mistake to make

Yes I would like a IH 454 or any in that series too. I'm sure it may be feasible since they go for British built models. I'm a member of the BFA society so I will drop and email suggesting a IH for future. the other one I would like is the Marshall MP6 with only 197 being made in real life!!!!

Nigel,Limited numbers were up as high as 2003 at one stage but thankfully they have cut back to 950. Good point on the wheels I never really noticed but thinking back to the last time I drove one of these in the 80's they were silver weren't they?? I saw them as being a "soft" tractor but recall havng a nice bark to the engine and speedy on the road.

Normally BFA are spot on since they usually take the real thing to the factory for copying. Could be the one they used had the wheels painted white by the owner. I just don't know but you have inspired me to e-mail the sociey and will advise of any response I get

Thanks for additional info Bill, I'll update the list so that we have a latest version to hand.

Here is a photo of B0273 Frontiers of Farming Limited Edition of 1000 by Kirsty Armstrong

A little test...any comments about the origin of the JCB from anyone (Bill you're excluded - I've told you the answer  :))

So BFA just made the base the man and the dyke and the dog.

Yep.  I believe it was commissioned by someone, possibly JCB.  Never actually seen on in the flesh, but somehow its not a true BFA piece to me.
