IH885XLMAN Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 very very nice :P :P ....for a ford ;D lovely price aswell and nice extras i will be buyong one 4 sure this is what RC2 should be doing ,,I dont mean this particular model but the play-ability the steering opening of bonnets adding and takeaway of front weight's on tractors but maybee EU regulations stop them doing this as they do toys as for re-decaling im all for it as it helps fund future production and gives more selection i like it allot imagine if they did a IH 885 xl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 still amazes me how many people can pick nitty little faults out of something and make such a fuss about them as "unacceptable", if the cab was the wrong shape or wheel hubs wrong then fine, but a the wrong colour bit of plastic???? what ever next the gear knob top is the wrong shape?? the tread on the foot peddles is the wrong style ??

SIMON. Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 You had a bad day Sean i'm here if you need to talk about it But i know what you mean it all seems a little petty these tractors have just upped the benchmark if you ask me, they where that good i ordered 2 myself and i'm not a great lover of fords just a lover of a decent well thought out model at a affordable price to the collector young and old :) P.S I even heard holmes was on about buying them so they must be THAT good if Ben's willing to part with some of his old £20 notes :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorbob Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 i totally agree with you ... stop nit picking about a fantastic model..i would say its in the top 5 ,this year .of best models produced this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrium Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 got to say, well done Steve and Karen. These guys have pumped a HUGE sum of money into a model, which in my opinion, everyone has been dying for, if it was me, I'd be making as many variations as I possibly could, bar painting them in colours that never existed, to make as much money back to make the investment worthwhile. If some collectors think they have to have everyone available and then moan that there are too many, have a rain check.... this model was such a popular tractor, then each variation will get a good following. Im waiting to fill my cabinet and hope that people buy the little 4 cyl's as me experience was driving 6 cyl's. Good luck Imber... PS - They'd have to do all the variants as the customerizers would only jump on the back of it. (I say as Poacher turned Gamekeeper) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Couldn't agree with Sean, Simon and Ian more I have always said that I thought we bought models because we enjoy them not to criticise \ If most of us where in Steve & Karen's posiion we would be very proud Well anyone who saw my reaction from my first viewing knows my views on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Well anyone who saw my reaction from my first viewing knows my views on them Too right, never seen anyone dribbble so much at a model before :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 im not a ford collector but will be getting one of these in some form,too good to miss and think of the money it would cost to break other models to make one,glad theres a good one to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 still amazes me how many people can pick nitty little faults out of something and make such a fuss about them as "unacceptable", if the cab was the wrong shape or wheel hubs wrong then fine, but a the wrong colour bit of plastic? ??? what ever next the gear knob top is the wrong shape?? the tread on the foot peddles is the wrong style ?? It amazes me how flagging up a couple of apparent errors on what is supposed to be a model (not a toy) can be regarded as nit picking, but when a certain other mainstream manufacturer (Britains) makes a similar error on a toy, we see a string of post moaning and whingeing about it. It seems it's OK to make unreasonable criticism of Britains, but "thou shalt not criticise the almighty Imber". Jeez, if this had been made by Britains, I know full well that certain people would have ripped it to shreds, regardless (and you would probably be one of them). If this is supposed to be a model rather than a toy (and even at £45, it would be expensive as purely a toy), I think it needs to be right. That is my opinion, and I have every right to express it, without being stoned to death or burnt at the stake for it. It has already been stated that the wheels are being looked at for the full production version, so that isn't a problem, is it? As I said in a previous post, it looks extremely good from the pictures, but, for me it isn't perfect. Now get off my back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archbarch Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 i think the comments over colour and wheels are valid ones, in my mind its discussion, which is what this forum is about. I didnt notice the colour of the grill until mentioned, as collectors of models its good to have details pointed out. I agree if this was Britains, Siku or UH there would be loads of critisism over such detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Agreed. Although UH and Siku arn't very good examples as they both do a pretty good job accuracy wise. However RC2 should expect criticism and continue to untill they get something closer to perfect with all the points to be raised in the meeting on Friday in mind. Anyone in search of perfection wouldn't have RC2 at the top of their list anyway, Precision aside of course. A major (for some) point has been raised and addressed via this topic. That's good. Lets not keep it dragging and let new visitors to the topic view the photo's and make their own mind up without slanderous posts being thrown back and forth between posters.

Rick Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Nice to see the brit boys get something that they can really feel connected to....Good grief RC2 with what UH is doing is a bit under the gun now.......No laughing your way to the bank steve.....a job well done.....made some locals happy.....

Tractorman810 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 did you not get the 40 series fords over ther ethen rick?? i guess they were per case/ nh merge anyway, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinefocus Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I was supprised that it has taken this long for a 40 series to come out. I was well impressed with it. I'm waiting for 6640 and 7740 for me. Uncle used to own them so it was my learning to drive tractor me. Titan trailer just right behind that, cant wait Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I'm not sure if they were area specific but had not seen one around me back home for years and years. Plenty of JD's and older Masseys....Obviously one had to pull out on me on the way back to university Tuesday Morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick a Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I'm not sure if they were area specific but had not seen one around me back home for years and years. Plenty of JD's and older Masseys....Obviously one had to pull out on me on the way back to university Tuesday Morning most smaller 40 series tractors in my part of the country were 66 and 7740 tractors although a small number of 5640 tractors mostly two wheel drive sl models. these im model tractors are fantastic models. the 5640 at 75 horsepower i suspect would have been a little underpowered in the sle specification with power hungry change on the move transmission never the less a very high specification tractor in its day for its size.

Tractorman810 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 i do know of 1 5640 2wd, not sure if its sle or sl, but thats it, most round here are as others have said 66's and 77's mix of 2wd and 4, , but i do know of several 56's arround suffolk way, mostly on horse paddock dutys, and i think a place my aunt used to work at had one for yard dutys in the chicken farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
