perhaps the toy/model makers are not completely to blame for inaccuracies of these particular tractors. two manufacturers have had a go now! and both have failed to get it coimpletely right-rather than measuring up a real production tractor maybe its the material given to them by new holland thats wrong eg drawings and blue prints. perhaps even from real 1-1 prototypes. Imber got things correct from the word go by the processes they used of measuring real tractors.
