DrJB Posted December 5, 2013 Author Posted December 5, 2013 Rather interesting ... I thought strawberry farming cannot be mechanized and is often done by low-cost migrant workers (there was a high-profile story about this topic in recent news in Greece, and migrants from Bangladesh) . In any event, would be curious to see what you come up with. If i could get a Dozer for €90-110 that would be awesome. Sadly that ain't the case in this country :( Not just in Norway ... 8275's prices have sky-rocketed in recent weeks ... Hopefully things will calm down after the holidays. Quote
Mtx Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 I'm missing 8480 8289 8063 8457 8274 8436 mayby someday my collection is complete :) Quote
JGW3000 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 I thought strawberry farming cannot be mechanized We are actually working on soil disinfestation - treating the soil to remove weed seeds and parasites, prior to planting. You are correct, once planted, the growing process is mostly manual labor. MOC will be a while, I need to get a tractor/trailer set first! Quote
Technic-Kobaltz Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Too many to list but at the top of that list are, 8295 Excavator, 8295 Telescopic Handler, 8263 Snow Groomer, 8043 Motorized Excavator, 9395 4x4 Crawler, 42006 Excavator 42009 Mobile Crane MK II Most recently added 8110 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 400 to my collection and hope to tick a few of the above off my list come the festive season.

Junpei Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 8880, 8868, and 41999, those are the only sets on my wanted list. Quote
Paul B Technic Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Another set crossed off my wanted list :) http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/model-team-5510-off-road-4-x-4.html Quote
darsedz Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 My 2014 wish list .... my next 2-3 MOC and parts purchased exclusively for them ;) first in the lists... ?? Quote
Blakbird Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I want Blackbirds collection! It is not for sale, but you can come and dust it for me. Quote
Gee Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 It is not for sale, but you can come and dust it for me. That must be a right royal PITA to be fair! I know how much I detest it and my few sets are a drop in the ocean compared to your collection! Quote
DrJB Posted December 13, 2013 Author Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) I do not dust my sets ... For those without PF, I simply run them under a hot water jet in the kitchen sink (or shower) ... et Voila! ... extremely effective. Edited December 13, 2013 by DrJB Quote
Gee Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 That's not a bad idea, you could get the Mrs' hairdryer on them afterwards! Quote
DrJB Posted December 13, 2013 Author Posted December 13, 2013 I read somewhere that household dust ... is comprised primarily of fabric fiber and human dead skin .... yikes! Quote
Gee Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Yep, it's mostly dead skin cells. Lovely! Quote
Mikuri Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 8043 Motorized Excavator - Because it has tons of parts I'd like and the construction looks very fun :)! 8110 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 400 - Already have 2 of them. But hey, I'd like more. This set is my favorite EVER. 8263 Snow Groomer - I don't know why, I simply love this set. 8265 Front Loader - Parts and general look of it. 8455 Back-Hoe - Was THE set when I was younger. Made me dream a lot. 42000 Grand Prix Racer - Because I'd like to build it with motors :)! Quote

You may need to add the 8258 Crane Truck as well. Edited December 13, 2013 by DrJB Quote
