jdc Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I just can seem to push the yes to the purchase.... I get to it every time but its blue and I dont think I can justify it, if it was red or green maybe. Sell me the model (other than its rare) does the linkage work and can I put something on the back?? or is it just a trophy blue thing? Just got my replacement today so dismembered the broken one. Nothing at all moves, but I was surprised at how much was die-cast - lights, mirrors, fenders, linkage are all metal. The weakness seems to be the amount of glue used on some parts.

The weakness seems to be the amount of glue used on some parts. having had the mis fortune hope replacement is ok, upon taking apart bust tractor do you still consider the model worth the money? do you hold it in high regard up against something like a precision classic? be interesting to hear your views as you have more experience/ knowledge of this model than most. lots of people on the fence about ordering one maybe your views might help them decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole value is probably in the rarity, but it is an exceptionally detailed and accurate model. It is a display item only as it is not robust at all, but would sit without being attached to it's base. Chassis and wheels are die cast, tyres fit rims like full size, cab & bonnet are resin, most detailing is metal. Is it worth €280 - I don't think so, but I have bought two and don't regret it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udimore Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I agree I have paid similar or actually more for other models that are no-where near the standard of this superb model I love mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 do you recon you can repair the second one then john?? it looked pretty mangled up in the pics you posted, will she go back origonal or modfyed to work wheel wise ect I could straighten the parts, put it back together and touch up the paint without too much trouble, but I may have a play around with it. Perhaps making the linkage moveable would be good. have most things wheels and linkage working on our one now,very delicate but well worth it lovely model Any tips?

schw84 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Depends on how good the New Holland is when I get it. 450 is a little steep but then so is 300 for a tractor!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'm beginning to think 300 quid for a model tractor is a bargain \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nielsa123 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 For the people who would like the modell, they can go to Hannover in November... I have tried to get some from the factory, but they won't ship the modell anymore because of the huge lot of damaged models which they had from shipping. If you collect them yourself in Italy you can get 1 or go to a show where they have it you can get some or maybe if you sign for it that they can ship it on your own risk. It was a bummer that I could not get them through New Holland, now we have to wait for November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
