bluegreen Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I agree that Siku front linkages look terrible and yes they should have at least front wheights available that can be put in place of the front linkages. It would be easy on all the models where the front linkage is not integrated in to the siku frame but just installed in a little slot and easily removed by loosening 2 screws at the bottom of the model. The new front wheight should then fit right in to slot and you would never know that there was once a front linkage there. Please allow me too also "stick the boot in" and agree with you Anfield that Siku front linkages & their implements SUCK Time too start a front weights only campaign on all future Siku tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike R Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 The only thing with changing the linkage now is that the older front implements would not fit them otherwise I agree with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendt Fahrer Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Please allow me too also "stick the boot in" and agree with you Anfield that Siku front linkages & their implements SUCK Time too start a front weights only campaign on all future Siku tractors I dont think they should get rid of their front linkages because Siku models are intendet for children that want to play with their tractors and equipment that they see on the real fields. And in Germany, Sikus main market, there is a lot of front mounted implements.All I was suggesting was that they produce different front wheights for the different makes that you could buy and then use them as an alternative to make the tractor look a bit more realistic for us collectors.

MJB1 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 i think i have to agree with the comment about the siku front linkage, for the sake of a small screw with a tractor fitted front linkage & set of weights also in the box , a few models would look better with the weights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendt 936 Driver Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 More clumsy looking front mounted twaddle that we never see in the UK no doubt I am much more excited by the Wiking division of the SIKU empire and whats following on from the stunning Fendt936 debut last year roll on their JD6930 release I say Hey, I told to Wiking last year at the Agritechnica. They'll only release two models every year in 1:32 . I think if they are becoming more and more famous, the Siku guys will forget this plan . He didn't told it to me, but he gave some advices that in 2009 there are deffinatly one implement is to come, maybe two... Would be nce to see more implements in the same quality then the Krone Silage trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I think siku will make some more equipment seen in mainland europe? This is not a problem but we do have some fdifferent makes in the uk..... [ We all like to see models of kit used in our own country.

MJB1 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 this makes an interesting argument But we will probably see more european front mounted implements unfortunatly. what is wrong with front mounted implements? Jamie I have a question for you: I have noticed from time to time that some of you in the UK refer to european (meaning continental european). Do you not consider yourselves eoropean ? I am asking you this question because as a canadian I find it strange that you dont consider yourselves european. well why do we see siku as being a european orientated brand ? admitedly the implements they release is more commonly seen in mainland europe , but the difference between UK spec tractors & euroland tractors is different . More noticeable with the rear hitch, euroland tractors are more commonly fitted with a moveable clevis / drawbar hitch just above the PTO shaft , whereas UK spec is more usually found fitted with an auto-hitch(pick-up-hitch) from what i've seen all siku & UH models & toys are fitted with a UK spec hitch arangement . another thing why do brits not class themselves as european ? i'm a brit & i regard myself as british not european \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford4ever Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 . another thing why do brits not class themselves as european ? i'm a brit & i regard myself as british not european \ Wait until you join the Euro. ;D ;D (Said tounge in cheek as I duck all the missiles that are suddenly being flung accross the Irish Sea.)
