andrewstanford Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 if this was going to happen it would make conversion in some areas a bit cheaper because the tractors would be available on the market instead of browsing through ebay and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendt Fahrer Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 It will never sell better than the REAL classic 5000. If ever there was a classic tractor the 5000 surely is it. I just hope it will be a better model than the 5000. By the way are UH going to release the Ford 7600 and some of the countys in 1:32? i think its very clever of britain/rc2 if they release a 956 , would be a better seller than the ford 5000 possibly. i hope it doesn't make my boxed 956 worth less value. could we see the return of a JD3350 in years to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I've gotta say, that Massey does look good, I'll reserve final judgement until I see it in the flesh, but credit where credit's due, looks mustard Hopefully 2010 can be a turning point for RC2...

Zetor 6911 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 that looks brilliant it looks like they've sorted the hitch too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Judging by the other threads, only a few of us will be buying Britains, but that Massey is going to come this way, got some really nice boots on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyjack590 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 that massey looks good but the bonnet and cab look hand built but i presume they are the masters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 That Massey doesn't look bad for a toy. As stated collectors will probably look elsewhere but to get the next generation of collectors addicted to the hobby things are looking good.

FNHIR Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hopefully 2010 can be a turning point for RC2... So which direction are they facing now, this must be about their 10th turning point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 What a shame FTF HQ didn't get first showing considering the meetings which get held and the relationship between FTF and RC2. As always, the proof is in the pudding but as pre release images go. . . . That's a beauty. never driven one but I'm buying one anyway as I am hoping it's an important turning point for this brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 mm that looks half decent as well, sure andy can post his pics now, come on andy * is it me or does the rear hitch on the mf look a lot like the siku ones???? seems to in my view???

ploughmaster Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 that massey looks good but the bonnet and cab look hand built but i presume they are the masters The one that has been shown is the prototype, and has been damaged in its travels (there was a top link in place for the front weight). It certainly looks good (even as a prototype), so I think the production version should be even better. Good to see the new linkage fitted On the subject of the front linkage, does Atte (or anyone else) know if it is functional or fixed ? Didn't Andy get some pictures sent to him of the Massey but wasn't aloud to show them on here? European members often appear to be getting the information on Britains releases before we do, but I think that is sometimes because information gets posted which is not meant to be released. Certainly the second list published in post 81 was supposed to be under an embargo (and I am told is incorrect in any case). As the 7480 was shown at the London Toy Fair a couple of weeks ago, I would have thought Andy would have been allowed to post the images he has after that, or are they still supposed to be embargoed? It is a pity that once again we are made to take second fiddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 is that the new hitch then ploughmaster?? looks different o me, seems to have a siku look to it, unless i am wrong, the pics very dark sadly on the backend shots anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I t could be. As you say, the backend view is a bit dark (and I used the dark glasses smiley, so I can't see anything ). From what you can see, it doesn't look like the same hitch that is still on the JD 8345RT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 well I'm looking forward to holding one of those in my sweaty palms I can tell you... I'm not too fussed about the hitch myself... but I'm not going to hitch it up to much anyway... at 43 my old knees tell me that my carpet farming days are over now :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 thinks thats all it is to be honest, marky will know for sure, recon britains have the better in being used for convos etc over uh going by these pics anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 UH MF7499 has got crap wheels however this 7480 has got them right Just a shame that after how many years in the making they have still only managed to show a prototype and not the finished article And I presume this is also the reason the chassis is 2008 black and not 2009/10 grey shame as if it was grey we could then make out the hitch design but it does look promising.

ploughmaster Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 CVT on the 7400, and Dyna-6 on the 6400 is the main difference and there is some overlap in power: 6445: 4cyl 4.4litre 95hp 6455: 4cyl 4.4litre 105hp 6465: 6cyl 6.6litre 120hp 6470: 4cyl 4.4litre 125hp 6475: 6cyl 6.6litre 135hp 6480: 6cyl 6.6litre 145hp 7465: 6cyl 6.6litre 125hp 7475: 6cyl 6.6litre 140hp 7480: 6cyl 6.6litre 150hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmitemania Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Yes a thumbs up from me, it does look very good if a little rough and ready, the front mudguards look a little high, and obviously the cab interior has yet to be coloured, but as said its a promising start to 2010 for Britains. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
