The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Very pleased they've decided to make the later model, looks very promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 That looks very good - maybe on par with the recent 'Toy Farmer' series tractors - does anyone know; will the FW 60 be this years Toy Farmer model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margerisons Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I can't say I'm a fan of it Don't like these big prairie tractors But I want to see what the NH T6080 and the MF 7480 are like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC2 will make this kind of machine primarily for the American market. Why the hell shouldn't it be offered to Europeans as well? (There were quite a few FW60s in Europe and the UK when they were current - still are a few in fact). There are plenty of folk over here who are very pleased to have them. Nobody is forcing you to buy them. We know we shall have the MF 7465 ( ), and the T6070 (albeit only a redecalled TS135) and as the year progresses there will certainly be other introductions (perhaps including a vintage tractor ) of which we know nothing yet.

Tractorman810 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 looks ok, not really my thing i must confess, have seena fw60 over here,long time ago, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Good to see they are getting the shape right for this one and not just re issuing the old model. Hopefully we will see the green feline model in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 I believe a real FW60 was measured somewhere in norfolk. Nigel, I'm with you that I prefer other classics, but I think it is good they are doing it. I am sure Tinsleys (RIP) had FW60's working on their farm when I was a kid.

MJB1 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 well two things in it's favour for some i supose , it looks to be a better representation than the older model , which to be honest was pretty awfull & it's not green with yellow wheels. have seen these tractors for real out & about , but very seldom seen down here in the south west , so thats probably why i'll not be looking to get one.

FB Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 ok for RC2, atleast they take note of our compliants! :D , but sadly its not a model i would really want in my collection as i'm not a fan of these machines. \, but there will be some that will purchase a few Think there is one on a farm near me, occasionally it works, or is it a FW30?, \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 it looks better and more detailed than the FW30. glad they did measure one up and it sure is better looking then the ertl ones(3 versions). when will it be released.. cant wait to add it to my collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 this one is a collection item for the ford boys or for people who would like it in a collection. i must say it looks better than the FW30 , so RC2 are looking at better detail products which is great for them and us. but i have to say maybe there time would have been spent better somewhere else.

NIGEL FORD Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 HOORAY... I've been meaning to do one of these for years, but never had the time... and yes AUTOMATIC stickers will be done soon by someone I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford 8830 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 love it. Have still got one near me thats does all the autumn work with that growl these had. True blue ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Massive massive tractors do nothing for me, but I could be tempted by this.... no idea why - apart from the colour of course -just think it's a nice looking machine.... would maybe do tucked away at the back of a shed with a huge stubble cultivator hitched on, covered in dust... I can't say I'm a fan of it Don't like these big prairie tractors But I want to see what the NH T6080 and the MF 7480 are like It is a 6080 we're waiting for ist't it Stephen.... or is it a 6070....? Must be a 6080 surely, I have a 6070 about 18 inches away from me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 New Holland T6070. It came out for the US last year, and I think has been in dealers here. It is just new to the toy catalogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I've had that one for ages and ages.... there was a review on it in Issue 6 [ ] of Model Farmer mag..... forget where I got it from, G&M maybe, and must have been around this time last year, maybe March ish.... \ I'm all disappointed now :'( .... I thought we were getting a T6080, ie this model with the 7060 cab and floorpan and maybe some better wheel equipment.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
