schw84 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I take my hat off to britains, It looks like a kids toy, but also the first model from them in a long time I would put on my shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM190 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 So how would you rate it out of ten? As a Toy, Which it is, Its pretty good.. Goes forward and back, Steers, Linkage raises and lowers And looks like the real machine. Simple.. As a collectors point of view you would know its not a UH a mile off.. The overall quality is ok, All plastic parts expect chassis and weight block.. Rivits used to secure Front linkage and Weight are oversize and do interup the look of it. Becons bit let down, doesn't look right without at least one. The Hitch! Well as you can see its New! Diecast.. Holds the plough up JUST! Its got no problem with strenght its the locking arrangement.. It simpley just sits up and over two wee lugs.. If I was to lean on the bench the plough would drop, was hard to get it to stay to get photo!, And through time I Think, it will get worse with wear as the wee lugs will round off causing it to slip easier than now. So I can't see it holding anything up and a few hours of play with hitch.. Theres also wee silly things, Paint slighty off in places, Black smeared over onto red, Bonnet has score marks on it, Decals aren't fantastic few marks on them etc.. Apart from that its Dead On! But remember, Its BRITAINS, Toy Manufactures.. Its a Toy and Is a Perfect Toy for the young ones! If you want a Model you Buy the UH 7499 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewstanford Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 did massey not change there colour when they went to grey chassis like the UH 7499 but the 7480 is a black chassis overall looking nice cant wait to see what other tractors britains have instore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 seems Britains are raising their game!!! is it me or is the colour a tad off compared to the UH 7499??? I haven't got two MF which are the same shade of Red! Even the UH 7499 and new 5480, Both meant to be 50th Red, both are different. Then you open a Tin of 50th red and its different again! could be the uh is wrong?? colour wise, hard to tell, none of mine seem to match my mf supplied paint convos, so blake whens the first cross breed due from the workshop When ever i get the dam thing apart! Its well bulit i'll say that.. Had to leave her, Need the bigger toolbox with the more Expierenced tools! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the black chassis MF had Super Red paint, The newer Grey Chassis ones are now 50th Red. I dont know weather the 7480 is meant to be Super Red or 50th Red.. Probably neither Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 well built eh, well you got the tyres of the back at least ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmitemania Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Looks great, can't wait to get my hands on one, cab interior detail looks good, irritating to hear they are still persisting with the silly ties in the box. Thanks for sharing the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 well built eh, well you got the tyres of the back at least ;D Cause I couldn't get the Rims Off!

Andy Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The paint is incorrect on the Britains Massey, we actually brought this to their attention after we previewed the sample a few months ago, after some of you pointed it out. It was too late to enforce a change so this first version of the model is only likely to be a relatively low production run before we then get the more modern colour scheme. Thanks for images blake, do you mind copy and pasting that review into the FTF Rate and Review Site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Nice review, one people have been waiting for!!!.....and a model i will try and get, mainly as its Massey!! So the hitch then, all be it the new one, its still not great??? \ Andy, could we feed this back to RC2 for future developments?, i know it took a while to get this far with the hitch anyway, and its a good improvement but this may be a simple remedy for future products to stop the sliding factor??....it will become a hot topic again otherwise!! ;D time to look for a few for the farm anyway!....1st RC2 purchase in years!!
