why no trollies?  Whats wrong with these people?!

What do you use trolley wise for your Britains?

I remember as a kid, i used to prise the end caps off the axles on my TR85, pull the axle out and take the header off.  I used to lay it on top of an old muck spreader for the trolley! Happy days :)

For me its a toss up between the UH Claas Tucano or Siku Lexions..

I have been surprised by the not so good reviews on the Tucano but I love it.. :-*

I know I should say the NH's combines are my fave having Blue blood but I am still waiting for UH to knock me down with one of those beauties  ;)

Corn King was that a kinda John Deere look a like Britain's one because they didn't have licence to build John Deere models at the time Daryl ???

It was just a recoloured TR85 with a maize head.  Where the TR85 had the flat corn effect top, the Corn king had a smaller tank in the front half of the tank insert and an engine behind.

It was just the TR85 with the TR's yellow bits in green and its red parts in yellow. The cab was yellow too.

I think it was the first model to have Britains first effort of producing a straw chopper.

I cut some JD badges and stuff out of a combine brochure and stuck them over the corn king writing, and pretended the maize head was a pick up header!

It didn't get much carpet mileage, it was a bit of a non entity to me as a kid, it didn't look like anything really

I need to get my hands on a good boxed one me thinks.

I think there was one on ebay a couple of weeks ago.

I don't think there are too many around, most of my friends as kids didn't bother getting it.  I got mine as a present when i was in hospital aged 8!

I don't know what you think Daryl, but one time when I was deciding which seed drill to have I started a poll on here!  Maybe if you whittle down the list of combines your interested in then start a poll, and see what votes you get...May not take off but if your struggling to choose its a different way of making the decision.
