Udimore Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 :o Couldn't be Barry - I thought the Major alone was £50 You are right Colm .. I have been assured that the loader will be sold seperately for £25 by the middle of 2009. Come to think of it none of this makes sense ...

Udimore Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 I can confirm RRP £99.95 So market price will be around £75 I expect :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehos Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I can confirm RRP £99.95 So market price will be around £75 I expect :D And on mainland Europe it will be 75 euros or less. This was also the case with other UH's, like the Ford 5000 is 41 euros Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 it's for sale right now at two dutch farm toy dealers. 71 euro's excl.VAT and 85 euro incl.VAT. am waiting to see what price it will be offered by G&M as it should not take much longer for them to have in store..

powerrabbit Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The one I bought today was being offered at £95 but was discounted to me a tad. It is a very nice detailed model but there are a few issues with it. Firstly handling to extract from the inner styrene packing. It is wired like Britain's models from underneath to the swivel point of the back-actor so it won't come out unless you remove the twisted wire, best way to do this is turn the lot upsidedown before taking the top of the inner styrene off. To lift the model out of the bottom, hold on to the top middle of the back-actor arm central pivot with finger and thumb and with the other hand finger and thumb either side the tractor below the loader in front the cab. Be wary that the rams on the back-actor are very stiff to operate and need quite a bit of force to move them. The swinging action is very loose. Also take extreme care with the front loader bucket tipping catch. The potential problem with this is that the 'hook' is plastic and the styrene top fouls it as there is a couple of 'lumps' in the moulding and the larger rear lump contacts directly on the tipping hook and will break it off right in the middle. If the hook is ok when you remove the top part of the styrene, before you put it back on remove the plastic that is covering both the smaller front and larger rear lump and discard. Then reduce the 'height' of both these lumps by half by cutting them off, then the bucket tipping mechanism will not be fouled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
