No no there is to many green things on the market.

Do old habits die? Not a lot happens with the range of Britains toys over a short period of time.They do not release vast amounts of models, true the company has changed hands and is under new management. I just want to see a name that I grew up with produce a worthwhile product. T

1200 or 1250 with a diamond plough.

The New Ferguson Black (tractor)?

Well they made a great job of the Ford 5000/7000 bought one, but I'm not going to rush out and by another. Is that why there are loads of green toy tractors around because Massey Ferguson/AGCO are picky? I like the UH 8690. Criticism is a good it helps you to improve which only surely a good thing with any company/ manufacture. Professional people should be self critical, and university teaches you be.Companies expect you to be cable of self evaluating. I have recently joined and thought this was a place where the little people have a chance to air there views hassle free, but I was wrong. Why would you expect a toy tractor manufacture to get things correct when their full size counterparts can't?... seems to me a lot of folk are in the wrong jobs..

Only if it is being made by UH

The cost of producing a new model is high so adaption are made for examples, Britains MF3650,Ford 5610.( that I mention) The pictured I referred to was the one of the real tractor(?) in their catalogue . Like the rest of you I have not seen a picture of the Britains toy ?. I know that Britain's do like to modify old models and sell them off as new ones. I'm taking a guess here that it is based on a 6290, to me a simple job change the bonnet hey presto new toy tractor.

Siku use metal hitches. Well the RC2 staff must have have shades on and wear earplugs. Come RC2 be dynamic. I did say I like Britains products.

Only the picture from Britains catalogue on here, remember the MF 3650 and Ford 5610, 5610 my botty... It is a wonder the MF6180 did not get turn into something else, I forget- it did the 6290( joke).

The last proper Britains tractor must have been the Fordson major.A sturdy mostly metal toy with steering and a working lift that actually looked a bit like the real thing. The E27N was a good toy in my opinion too, but sadly nothing has come close since,WHY? I like to think I collect toy tractors,i.e. ones with steering and a working lift that looks similar to a real working tractor. The Britain's lift was not perfect, but it worked.(old type not the crappy plastic joke they use today) Why can we not have a metal cab, bonnet,wheel centres that do not vanish over time and a proper hitch? How long do Britains models last as toys in a child's hands? Er.. not long. Question what do we want to buy - toy tractors or models? I do like Britains farm models in general but wish they would be a little bit better than what they are. RC2 to me, do not seem to have the finances or the inclination to produce better or more models, sorry toys. U.H , though they produce models beat Britains hands down!

Looks like a typical Britians half a job "make over". A MF 6290 with a new bonnet. Britains what is a 7465, shame on you RC2...(or should I say-I.C.D- I See a lot of Dissapointment.
