ihatepoundland Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I like the look of the forwarder, Xerion will also be interesting, I really thought UH would have got there first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyjack590 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 the plough will probably have a huge headstock to incorporate the battery but i like the idea of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 the plough will probably have a huge headstock to incorporate the battery but i like the idea of it servo dont you mean?? batterys in the tractor, they can get some very small servos now a days so it might be smaller than you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masseyjack590 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 tm810 - if you look at the trailers and the rake they have the full size battery in them to power the trailer etc in it's own right so i'm guessing it will be the same with the plough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 thanks for posting the pictures Atte, the thing with Siku for some reason they always look better in the flesh than the pictures, unlike Britains which is the other way round!!!!!!! I always think this as well, they look somewhat cartoon like in the images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I'm taking those forestry machines and I'll need a lowloader to bring them in. Or two or three!! Siku will do well with that Scania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffithsbros Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 if the scania is reasonably priced it will be on my yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Whoever was saying that Siku's photography makes models look odd was spot on in my opinion, that 8680 looks really odd but I'm sure it'll be great. Still can't believe the tracks on the John Deere, why couldn't they go the extra mile and get the tread right? I'm only guessing but is it down to too much resistance if the made the tread deep?

Smithy140 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I think with the tracks on the JD if they mad them too deep the motor wouldn't be powerful enough to turn the tractor on a carpet \ I dare say that it weighs well and with that amount of rubber on the ground i would of thought that's why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/32collector Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 can i ask what is the difference between the siku radio controlled and the siku infrared controlled machine's. and will one work with the other? ie can you mix them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 should turn ok, i have had several rc tanks over the years, motors were not much bigger than what siku use, one each main track wheel ,job done,wont need much weight on it either, ,you would be surprised how much power a small leccy motor can give I think with the tracks on the JD if they mad them too deep the motor wouldn't be powerful enough to turn the tractor on a carpet \ I dare say that it weighs well and with that amount of rubber on the ground i would of thought that's why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughmaster Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 can i ask what is the difference between the siku radio controlled and the siku infrared controlled machine's. and will one work with the other? ie can you mix them I think the name pretty much answers that one - Radio control works by a radio signal, infra-red works via a beam of infra-red light. The infra red remote control box won't work with a radio controlled model and vice versa. Radio control gives a much longer range, and gives continuous control out of sight behind furniture etc, whereas if there is an obstruction of the infra red beam between the control unit and the sensor on the toy, control is lost. I have had a brief play with both the Scania artic and the JD 8430T (both radio control), and both are very impressive. They are expensive, but worth every penny if you can afford them. The traction of the 8430T is incredible - if the cleats on the tracks were any deeper, I doubt if it would be able to turn. The battery gives a run time in hours rather than minutes, and the radio will give a control range of some metres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 with deeper tread on a track it may not be flexible enough, also would cause more vibration on hard surfaces. Aswell with deeper tread it may grip too well and rip carpets to shreads??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/32collector Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 thank you for your reply ploughmaster, i have an understanding of them now. i will be getting a radio controlled tractor next year as that new rc plough was the deciding factour. thank you again for your help jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekarstoft Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I can´t explain why Siku has chosen these ugly tracks. It is really a shame, because the rest of the model really works well. But the great thing is, that the tracks from the standard Britians 8430T fit right away, on the Siku RC 8430T. They are a little to close on the rear fenders, but they run just fine. Best regards from Denmark... Nekarstoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 But why a 1:50 scale forestry harvester and a 1:32 scale forwarder? Or am i wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
