Tractorman810 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 might not have been dropped ?? might just be they didnt want to pay for the extra 3 or 4 pages to print it?? bit like model farmer ,we work to the print companyspages per title, and whilst you may fill 84 pages, the printers run to 96, so what do you do with the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I heard also that the 5480 whas droped in the line of UH from my modelhandler!

Paul Palmer Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 creative masters who import uh say anything not in the catalogue is obsolete,although again its all a bit weird as the claas liner 3000 is still in the uh catalogue but dropped by claas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenside MF Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 nice to see the small tier4 5400 made will deffo get some for projects I want to make but will hold off incase they release one with a loader in a few months. I dont like the rear wheel centres though,and the front linkage as well \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 The centres are the right ones for a loader tractor though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberthenning Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 5480 in desperation of a bigger set of wheels then it would be a very nice model, and possibly the first massey in my collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 The centres are the right ones for a loader tractor though Yes Mark they are really,I'm a fussy ol g.i.t when it comes to mf models,and a shame they have painted the rims the wrong colour again,this shouldn't happen now uh tractors cost more than a few years back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordantaylor Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 loving that little massey, i will get a couple i think and make a loader for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Still drewling whit those photo´s of the steepnose! See some things i aleady want to chainge on it Is this as big as the 5455 steepnose Mark or a lot smaller (in dymensions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 whys that usa 165 got two diufferent sets of wheels on it, and the first pics missing the front weight to? may have to buy the first silver wheeled one if that comes out, swap the wheels onto the 175 then. lot more like that round than the red hubbed ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd not even noticed that mate... perhaps their will be two versions then. As for a so who is going to be the first to use these models to make a 175, 178, 185 or even a 188 The 175 and 185 originally had cast PAVT's in the UK... when the 188 was announced they changed the 185 back to pressed steel centres.. someone needs to cast some wheel weights for the front wheels.. inner and outer please. Still drewling whit those photo´s of the steepnose! See some things i aleady want to chainge on it Is this as big as the 5455 steepnose Mark or a lot smaller (in dymensions) Not a clue Johnny.. sorry buddy... I'd take a guess at them being the same size though bonnet wise mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 all the ones i have seen are pressed hubs, never ever seen a 100 on pavt hubs, but thats another story, them wheels if they do that version will be swapped to the 175 for me, may yet even swap the bonnets and remove the desiel decal , which would be even better then, well for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See some things i aleady want to chainge on it Is this as big as the 5455 steepnose Mark or a lot smaller (in dymensions) I think the price would be the first thing to change UH tractors seem to have doubled in price, other manufacturers have increased in price but not doubled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB Trac Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I think the price would be the first thing to change UH tractors seem to have doubled in price, other manufacturers have increased in price but not doubled The prices of casting metal have almost doubled due to the demand in China. Also steel and aluminium have gone up which they make their moulding tooling from. Also they have changed their metal which is now lighter than before to try and save on the shipping cost. I think the metal price is to rise 15% again at the end of this year as demand is getting higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalethecaptain Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 UH models have gone up in price, I would not have a problem with this if they had got rid of that god awful rear linkage. I have a few models that I have replaced with PMA type, and there are a few of these new ones that I really want, but I will have to modify them. Maybe UH might take heed of the FTF as RC2/Britains did.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Wel about the linkage i think you have a point but i think it is nice that you can put some thing behind the tractor. The bigger problem whit UH i found out that there onw implements some times not fit to their onw produced tractors! I think the need to sort that out! Also if you take for an example the Kuhn,Vicon and Deutz mowing combination the mowers don´t stay raised up! There are a lot of isue´s they need to sort out! But hey the conversionist like me need also something to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 i wonder how long it will be before we see uh doing a ros, and having interchangable front kit, weights or linkage, but also rear end, 3 point linkages or a siku style one, someone will do it for sure as overall it would please both sides of the collectors market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmermilkin82.050 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Does anybody know what kind of horse power that new massey has? It might look well rolling a field or drawing bales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
