I hope the prices are a lot lower than over there, although I'm sure there might be some models that can't be found here anymore, in which case helpful Europeans would be most appreciated.

Thanks Rick. I'm in no hurry for new models, it's going to take a while to get caught up on the existing ones!

Thanks Sean, I've been lurking for some time now.

http://www.farmmodeldatabase.com/en/select-farmmodel/all-brands/universal-hobbies/1-16/all-categories/order-brand/thumbnails.html That will get you to the UH 1/16 listings.

None of these links work for me, but thanks for the list, at least I can hunt the database for new models.

I'm looking for 1/16 models, but am having a hard time finding them in NA. So far I've only found two dealers: Outback Toys - fair pricing, but limited models. Eurocan - Model pricing is almost as good as Outback, but shipping is more than double actual cost. I hope this request isn't against board policies, but I'd really like to be able to find more of these models, and without paying a stack of taxes and shipping to import from Europe. Thanks in advance!

I'm hoping the US 5000 hasn't been canceled, but I wouldn't be surprised by a lack of demand in North America given the lack of dealers here! Is there more than one US source? I have yet to buy a UH tractor, but given the pricing on new Precisions I have a feeling that I could be very happy getting into the UH market, despite the shortage of "familiar" tractors. But hey, a neat looking tractor is a neat looking tractor.

I was unable to complete the survey given that I primarily collect 1:16 SpecCast, with Ertl Precisions (when found at a bargain) being the only other item of interest, so ranking items in any order when it omits my principle interest and is filled with options I have never considered doesn't make much sense. While I don't own any UH models yet, from what I get in a SpecCast model and the level of detail found from UH, it appears that Ertl's Precision line is priced well above what comparable models from other manufacturers are offering, so I would support a much lower price tier for detailed models.

I'm not really a fan of the muddy look, to me there isn't enough mud! I recently got the T-14 gas (crawler only - no blade), only to be disappointed that it doesn't include an engine. I also didn't realize before buying how big this thing was.
