BC Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Dear BBLQ092 (No.839), Yes, Peter Small was doing a report for us....I have the words here. What an amazing sale, wish I had had the opportunity to preview it, not that it would have made a lot of difference because the prices were already sky high. It will be in the next issue. Regards Rory Yes Rory prices were high. The machinery was in top order all the same. Not often you see sales like that. looking forward to seeing Peter's report Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Bought the mag this afternoon, but have only had a chance to scan it so far. DB1412s with Perkins 6.354 and 6.372 engines I've seen 1412s calve their back ends with the standard Meltham engine! The thoughts of putting 140 ponies through that transaxle is just scary! (but I haven't read the article yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 What happened to 'The Kidd Story' which was supposed to be in the May issue? Farmers Weekly about a month ago had a feature "Whatever happened to Kidd Farm Machinery", quite interesting reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hi , Great read rory loved the "DB commemerative edition" special writeup the 1394 4wd comm with loader brackets is right by where i live around 7 or 8 miles away and i dont know if you have anymore info from the farmer but it corisponds with the same time my collage renewed the lease hire from CASEIH and put it in for a "G"plate CASEIH 585 L 4WD with Quicky loader at burgesses in oswestry either way who ever bought the 1394 had a better bargin than the collage had as the 585 was not as good as the 1394 even with shuttle transmission i think the 1394 left the collage with less than 1000 hrs on the clock serviced very regularly and diddnt to allot of work that any other "new" tractor at the time would be expected if i remember aswell the tutor said "she has virtualy just been run in" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorsday Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Dear IH885Lcabman Thanks for the kind words, most appreciated. I was really pleased with the way the Comm. Edition 'special' turned out. All we need to do now is find out what happened to the Aston Martin DB car that was given away with the tractor. Have had a call from someone who knew the next owner of the cab, but it was sold in the late 1990s and has since gone to ground. Finding it would be the final part of the jigsaw....not essential, as it is after all a car, not a tractor, but just nice. Dear James T, Ref the Kidd story, fear not it is in the next issue, 5 pages, part 1 or a 2-part story. It came to me rather late and rather than rush things and compromise the story, I decided to hold it over until this month. Hopefully you will like it.
