A few of the Lemken Solitair 9 should be at Agritechnica, dealer box of course. Standard box The dates I heard were January 2008 so I added a range for good measure. What the actual date will be The models in the main will be easy to produce, just require new bonnets to be made. Re the modern combine....I was actually thinking of another German manufacturers latest model

I'd just like all those announced to date to be released by the end of 2008, let alone any additional ones! My first guesses in 1/32 would be updated versions of a current UH tractor range and a new modern combine. However time will tell.

Thank you F-P. Just caught up with this thread and that was exactly why I asked. I think the UH is a good model, perhaps its the supplier was the dodgy in the case, damaged goods/poor packing?

Just to say that's not 40521....it's got the ATV as well. 40521 just has the Gator and 455 Garden Tractor in ithe set

Which one - Ros or UH or both?

It was in the catalogue from 2002 to 2005 but I have never found one to buy in a shop. Got a feeling though there was one at the Massey Ferguson Open Day in North Devon earlier this year but by this time I was not requiring it for the collection anymore so didn't buy it.

And the rest

2 minutes 32 seconds without using side cutters and all the wires/packing still complete! Wonder how long it would take me to put it back togeter again

It's the green one for me. Much more like a Claas as I remember them.

The MF169V Baler has never been, and is unlikely to be, issued in a dealer box. The same goes for the Activa 7245 combine. Don't why, perhaps MF don't require promo items of these. Weren't these originally Fendt 'commissioned ' items and only produced as MF because the Fendt kit was sold as MF?

Our local postie says they are not allowed to work overtime to catch up after the strike.....everything has to be done in the normal working day. So things will get delayed more....

Britains dropped the 'flickering' spout in the late 1980's. This is mentioned in Peter Baron's book 'Toy Tractors from Britains'. What you've got there is the later version and is as Britains made it.

It is 2000

Thanks for explaining the systems these use. Nice videos and nice models but I won't be buying either. Well not until they are a realistic price anyway.

I've so far resisted from buying any and starting yet another collection. Mrs PDH would not be pleased. From those I've seen they are good and some are highly sought after. If the new Corgi range goes ahead the 1/43 could become popular.

If that's the case then that explains a lot. Just looked at the farmmodels list.... For the JD and Fendt it says 6753 John Deere 6920s with Remote Unit 6754 Fendt 930 with Remote Unit However with the Axion it says.... 6760 Class Axion 850 with RC Unit due end Sep 07 Subtle difference. The Siku catalogue is no help. Tellerian help please........

Agree completely

They probably do own the moulds otherwise they couldn't be releasing them but I understood Hatchette paid for them. Ownership was probably part of the deal.

and the models were paid for by Hatchette who commissioned them for their magazine.

Just check http://www.farmmodels.co.uk/siku-farmmodels.html Tractor only is ?74, No price for the full kit.

Yes but the JD and Fendt aren't radio controlled, they are controlled via infra-red. The MAN and Axion will have a new radio control system which won't work with the Fendt and JD. That's why I'm wondering what the price will be.

Time will tell Marky. Depends on how far Corgi have got with the moulds etc. However its one market (and is the fastest growing diecast sector at the current time) that Corgi haven't got a range for. If they produce implements as well then they could give UH a good run for their money.

Is that the whole thing including RC transmitter, receiver, etc or just the model?
