Fenside MF Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 This sulky x44 is a limited edtion of either 1500 or 2000 pieces made by a new company equaterre and am led to believe it was made for a german collectors club First impressions for me when looking and holding this model is that it is a perfect replica but very brittle. Card box comes printed of images of the real mounted spreader and model comes screwed on to a plinth in a perspex display case. Also inside the box there is another pic of a field maybe this is sulkys ephine farm of which they do there field research. Model also has built in viewing windows and all authentic warning decals and comes with hitch adaptor for siku,uh and rc2 models etc. I only have one criticism of the model and that it would of been nice to see it fitted with a hopper cover as its the flagship of sulkys mounted range. I'd rate this model eight out of ten as its quite exspensive and very fragile so its staying in its box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Thanks for that Jamie, hadn't even heard of this model until you brought it up. Does look excellent to me, really good detailing, would love one, but seems a bit steep in price regretfully \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 yeah i was tempted but £39 for a staying in the box model....not these days!, i'll stick with my PDC convo for now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Mine arrived Thusday. Very nice model, and a reasonable price compared to those at Spalding . It won't stay in the box but once mounted on a suitable tarctor it will stay on it to protect it. Compared to some other models around the same price its not way over priced. At least it is something different and if it sells well will hopefully encourage the manufacturer to produce more models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hody21 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I got mine from Geoff at Toptractor and its a cracking model, but be very very carefull with it as it is stupidly delicate. I have already snapped the pto shaft of mine . Its certinly not a TOY for children. A few pics of mine on the UH Zetor ( looks a bit big I know but it will show you what it looks like on a tractor ) Sorry for the poor pics as my camera doesnt do close ups very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 mine aint coming out of the box for now, looks way to fragile to me for anything but display in a case on a tractor at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 That must be a good linkage on the fendt and zetor my uh 5480 doesn't hold it up as good as those. Managed to fit it on my mf 6290 convo with siku links but I have had to put on a layer of the thinnest plasticard on the adaptor to get the spreader sitting right behind a tractor. Also snaped the pto off but I have now drilled a pilot hole and restuck so its stronger than before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
