    Any info/new on the new releases yet. We usually get to know what's what around now.

    Britains have a stand at the Moira Show and the locals usually ply them with strong spirits to get them to spill the beans on upcoming releases.

    UH squeezing the last drop profit out of the MF 65 moulds I see. This is a French Mk II model. Whereas in Britain we had the Mk I from very late 1957 to mid-1960, the first French Mk I was introduced in the latter half of 1960 and was the same as our British Mk II. When Multi-Power later became an option on the 65, the French designated those tractors Mk II. As I have said elsewhere on this forum, the UH MF 65 models are absolute rubbish. They can't even get the bonnet shape right. Corgi Toys managed to get that right back in the 1960s, so no excuse whatsoever. The Scaledown MF 65 models remain my firm favourites - all credit to Nigel Ford.👍

    The back wheels of the UH 65 are perfect for a Massey 65 digger, otherwise, the Scaledown is the business.

    I assume there will be a Steyr 8090 at some stage from Marge, as the Marshalls have been done in 2 different lengths? 

    The 8090 was already done in 2wd and 4wd for the LCN Members a couple of years ago.

     

  4. Disappointed with the Steyr 6150 as it is based on the old NH T6 with the even older T5.110/115 rear wheels and the 2 point hitch (instead of the much nicer wheels and 3 point linkage from the T5.130/4130)

    Big opportunity missed.

    (Note to self, track down some 4130 rear wheels from a conversionist to transplant onto the 6150)

    You know lads, britains should do the new steyr tractor based on the NH T7 300. Would be different. Also the fendt 615 again in a modern tooling method. And finally, a JF 1260 trailed forage harvester.

    They did the Steyr variants of the TSA and TN back in the day, so not beyond the bounds of possibility.

    UH are doing the Steyr variant of their T7.300 too.
