ford 8830 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 :)hi there new member so i thought i would post some of my collection on here for all to see. richard the bottom link is the best picture will work on improving for you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 as you can see blue is the main colour and still the best although green and yellow has started to ingress into my blood. The red ones are probably going as they just spoil the colour scheme. I have lots more but just no room to place out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 The photo file size maybe to big, it will need to be reduced or posted via a Photobucket link if you have a photobucket account at www.photobucket.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Your pictures can be linked in by highlighting each link you have posted in turn and clicking on the second icon from the left on the second row of buttons above the text box (the one that has a framed picture on it) In future you can also copy the link from the box that says 'IMG Code' under the photo on your Photobucket page, which will automatically make your photos show in yor post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ford 8830 Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 my favourite model would have to be the britains 8830. Just because this was the big tractor when i was young that i wanted to own for real. Mr purdues fords are the best for realism and also have pride of place. next model will be 1/16 ford 5000 from does which is on order. why fords, because my farther ran fords while he was farming so was brought up on 6600 and 10 series tractors. Lost the blue coat now as own jd lawncare equipment. That means i can buy more though!!!!!!!!!!! I also drive 580tt for the holiday and chalenger 865 so have to have models of those as well :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I think he has always wanted to own Ford 8830, it isn't in relation to the Britains one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ford 8830 Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 ohhh yes britains did make a 8830 for just under one year in 1991. Product code 9321 in the powerfarm series. They are quite hard to find and have one mint in box and one in display case. You were both right about the other reason though. could not believe my eyes when saw mt765 nearlly fell over running to get to table as well :o :o Guy used to work for cat in europe and selling few gifts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 he had left over :D did not do lottery this week so have used up all my luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deerepower Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 whats the U.H. Fendt 415 like? I'm thinking about getting one but would like some comments about it, is it worth the money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford 8830 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 the fendt is a good little model. paid ?15 so really good value. The detailing is first class 8) The front wheels are a little fragile but will not do much carpet farming with it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ford 8830 Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 yeah the doe is growing on me 8) Not sure when to sell the other one i got ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford 8830 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 this past 2 weeks new additions to the collection :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 such a rare model as the Doe with it's limited numbers of 500 will only increase in worth..certainly when people have been drooling over the wide available 5000 that is coming from UH. I see some strange additions to your mostly Ford collection Whenever i see a white box with fragile stamped on it, i have to think of a Danbury Mint model.. am i correct and if so, is it the Ford 2000, Ford 8N or the Fordson F ?
