james f Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Just received an email from my supplier and there is to be Orange Valtra T Ltd Edition in dealer box, due out in time for Xmas apparently. More information on this would be nice. Its hard to see how it would be different from the metallic orange T191 already out, unless it came out in matt or gloss \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 on the 65 im wondering is it based on 28" rear wheels or are the mudgaurds sitting a bit high......standard 65 wheels were 32" and they sat fairly close to the top of the mudguard,nice model though....sure are some nice variants of the 5480 coming out Well spotted Brian... I reckon the wheels are the correct 32" versions mate... as the centres are right... BUT... if you look to the rear picture you'll see she's got the extension pillars on for the mudguards.. which would have made her (originally) a 38" wheeled Hi-clear model I reckon. The 38" wheel has the same centres but the actual rim had spacers welded to it to bridge the gap of the larger diameter wheel. Is suspect they had to change the front axle during the restoration to a standard version (hi-clear had longer kingpins) so it meant the rears would have ot be bought down to 32's to compensate... otherwise the driver would have fallen out of the seat and banged his nose on the steering wheel mounting nut :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB Trac Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Both are nice looking models but the steering is very poor on both, the header on the Big X and the front mower on the big M doesn't lift. UH do nice models but poor function. ROS have alot better functionality and better cast metal parts. And why not do the Big X 1100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJH Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 The front mower can be lifted And why do you need to steering? It isn't toys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Trac Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 The idea of a model is to replicate the real machine. Ros models have both excellent finish detail and have more functionality and stronger metal castings. The front mower lifts about 1.5mm and drops again. On the real machine it clears the swath with plenty of clearance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendt Fahrer Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I agree there. I can also not see the engines of the Big X 1000, could that be because it is just a cheap retooling of the old UH big X ? What is the length of the 1000 compared to the V8.And as I said before I also do not understand why they did not make the BigX 1100. But I will buy it anyways...... Both are nice looking models but the steering is very poor on both, the header on the Big X and the front mower on the big M doesn't lift. UH do nice models but poor function.

noel Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Why or why do they not release a version of the Big X with a SILAGE HEADER!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberthenning Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Why or why do they not release a version of the Big X with a SILAGE HEADER!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Because theyre french and dont care about their uk market who cut silage, i take it there must be no silage made on the continent, as bad as britains are at least they can make a grass header as big as it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Well. To add my part: 1. Didn't we have these models already or am i missing something? 2. If they are new then WHY release the big x 1000 the same year as they release the 1100? Or does that just seem stupid to me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigX500 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I agree there. I can also not see the engines of the Big X 1000, could that be because it is just a cheap retooling of the old UH big X ?

Will find out on the length difference on the real things very disappointed with the new Krone BigX models out and no grass header > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigX500 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 And WHY 1000 hp model Even in France there is that many 1000. A 650 or the new 700 or 850 would of been right. The 1000 hp model was aim at the Eastern bloc and America countries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 im with Jez here..... In Germany? Could the 1000 be re-badged 1100 later when the 1100 comes out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Could the 1000 be re-badged 1100 later when the 1100 comes out? And remove one exhaust..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noel Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Seems UH are making a few changes to the OLD cast and firing them out to make a quick buck. How hard is it to make detachable headers, grass and maize and sell in the one box!!! pleases EVERYONE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 do find it strange they dont do a grass header, they must do silage in france??? or do they tend to use them pick up trailers that uh also mate, class quantums and that new red and yellow one for their silage?? guess that would expalin it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 a simple grass header in the box is doing no one any harm! why they cant do it i dont know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New holland sell about 40% of their foragers in France. Krone is biggest in germany and growing in North America but falling down with no dealer network.

AJH Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 And we can except next year 2 more Schuitemaker miniatures! One is a limited edition of the Rapide 125, this is a silver one (the one that was on the Agritechnica 2009) and the second one is a slurry tank.
