Lord Ferguson 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 Interesting to note that they don't do the 4.9ltr 145hp engine of the 5480 in that range \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 yep now bring on the classics ;) ;) that looks like a new hitch alright do you think this hitch might be put on existing britains/ertl models like the ford 5000 ect or even the new county Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyjack590 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 i don't mind the black chassis the 6480 at the farm has a black one and thats my conversions planned for when it comes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I think Britains have had the protoype for some time; it probably dates to before the change of skid unit colour which would explain the black. The production release may well be the newer grey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigX500 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 74 have the Fendt back-end slightly larger. I will check the brochure but the 7400 is 4cm taller than the 6400 and a fraction longer. but the bonnet length will be the same.P.S went through all the measurement when we were comparing a 6480 and 7480 in the end went for the 7480 with the beefier back-end.

ploughmaster Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Thats odd, the brochure gives the dimensions of the 6480 and the 7480 as being the same (on the same tyre equipment - was the 6480 you measured on different tyres?). The only significant difference given is the weight, with the 7480 unfueled weight of 6345kg being 875kg heavier than the 6480. Thde 7465 and 7475 are 4 cm smaller though, due to smaller standard tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I only have this image which is the same model shown at Nuremberg. Its hand finished and visibly a pre production sample item. Its a bit clearer than the other images so far though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Now, apart from the fact that the front linkage is visually far superior, I would have placed money on that being a Siki.... If anyone from RC2 is reading this, give yourselves a pat on the back for the way it looks, this looks like the quality of toy which will give a whole new generation of future adults fond memories and loyalty to the Britains brand. For heaven's sake, keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 looks good, front linkage is a real bonus, just hope the quality is there like it used to be, because its not all to do with looking good??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 After waiting with baited breath for so long that Fergy does look rather smart. Similarly to Simon my immediate reaction was to think of a Siku produced tractor, specifically the McCormick TTX. It looks like it has been modeled to a similar if not slightly better standard, hope i'm proved correct when eventually seeing it in the flesh, great work RC2!

Lord Ferguson Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 WOW... what a lovely looking machine... fair play Britains... if that's a snotty pre-production model then I sure as hell am looking forward to the finished article I can tell you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike R Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 A step in the right direction I like it I wonder if the hitch is better on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyjack590 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 that looks good the arms on the front linkage could need changing as they look a bit big but apart from that it looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
