MJB1 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 is this a genuine UH release ? i have also seen a grey & gold 5480 , but i'm sorry, if it were for real then would they really have the tractor model number in white on a red background ? the one i saw looked simply wrong UH did the white 50th model , fair enough i have one, but the decals match the tractor , i don't beleive they'd do a model like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM190 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 they were at our show over here and we quickly glanced at them and and we reconed the decals had been covered up before repainting so thats why there like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Well I won't be rushing to buy one for sure :D So... did MF actually make a REAL tractor like that... I've not seen any press release on one as yet I must say \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 i don't expect so mate , when blake said he'd seen one in the flesh i wasn't sure if he meant the tractor or the model , there was one at spalding , & i don't want to disrespect the converter if he's a member here , but the paintwork was good , BUT the decals let it down awfully, nice grey bonnet the a slab of red with white decals , sorry all wrong & if yer going to give it a rareity value a decent box wouldn't be a bad idea & tell people its a conversion . if it is a genuine ltd edition UH, then i'm sorry i'll not be buying it pretty sure mark , if it were for real , we'd have known about it fairly early on , surprising what our members find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick a Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Well I won't be rushing to buy one for sure :D So... did MF actually make a REAL tractor like that... I've not seen any press release on one as yet I must say \ i am not going to name names , suffice to say in the distant past i have had another conversion from this builder and was bitterly disappointed with the finished product . it ended up in my then young nephews sandpit with his other toys!

Simon Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Well I won't be rushing to buy one for sure :D So... did MF actually make a REAL tractor like that... I've not seen any press release on one as yet I must say \ I'm surprised at that I'm not sure Agco did more than 1 of the white one [if any] let alone this version.... It doesn't seem like it is being sold by whoever converted it.... I guess it's someone who bought one [possibly at one of the shows mentioned already] who has decided to get rid.... At 50 made that sounds like a short run aftermarket conversion and whoever did it was probably perfectly honest about it.... All that being said, it's not one for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi6920 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Dont know any thnig about it but its fake, id put my left testie on it, the sticker on the backside of the box gives it away, Uh have a sticker hald that size on the bottom of the box and it has a barcode also Worst thing is some one will get riped off here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsedelweiss Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Yes, he's a man who converted it, i've got his catalog. He does some rather basic conversions but this is probably his best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 If he has no permission from AGCO he could be in hot water being a current model in the real woeld although not in this livery. UH might have an axe to gring with him as well. Dicey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
