ploughmaster Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 why are the mudguards inaccurate ploughmaster? Perhaps it's my eyesight, but they don't appear to be contoured right to me - the model has three distinct angles at the outer edge of the black section, whereas all the NH 60 series tractors I've seen are much more curved: It's a niggle, I know, but I was under the impression that these are made and priced as models rather than toys, so they have no excuse not to be spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 i think i see what you mean,the pictures are not the best ,however on the orange m series they dont seem as rectangular as the nh's ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberthenning Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I agree with the inaccurate mudguards look far too flat but the britains ones are too roundy. If theyre going to be asking model prices everything should be spot on, i dont want to have to spend £35-50quid then a days work getting the thing to look right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughmaster Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 It looks even worse in that side on view Beats me how some folk can criticise other makers for not being accurate with their toys, but are quite happy to gloss over glaring inaccuracies on what is a relatively expensive 'model' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Well having spent the majority of the the last ten years around the 60 series, the arches look fine to me. I agree on the roof being wrong, that's glaringly obvious. As is the awful front linkage. The arches though, they are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 i don't confess to be a NH expert in anyway, but bar the roof that looks pretty OK to me, most if not all models have some discrepancy's even hand built ones, no ones that perfect, hell i bet even the real machines differ slightly. as we always say if its that bad dont buy it ,only way we as collectors can force them to get it better at the end of the day, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 not as high but still to high if that makes sence, as for pics i took a few, they are in the zwolle topic, but the models were in a glass display case, so getting decent pictures without flash back was a nightmare , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 i think over the last few years we have been spoilt with the amount of detail we get on our models now,ploughmaster casted some doubt in my mind about the mudguards,i must admit,the roof yes, everybody has noticed that,but today i went and seen a 8560,the mudguards/arches are fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Bennes as already stated means skip in French, Trailer manufacturers use the word before there company name to show they manufacture trailers (ie Bennes Campagne). Many UK companies did/do the same ie Warwick Trailers, Brian Legg Trailers, Marston Trailers, Wooton Trailers, Salop Trailers, Gull Trailers and Colins Trailers to name a few. Be interested in who built the French Massey trailers, unlikely to be the same as the IH ones . Many French trailers seem to be made along the same lines just as most British ones were all built along the same basic form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 does the roof look as bad in the flesh,was surprised there wasnt more pictures of it here you go , like i said hard to get a decent pic from the glass in the way the fiat version and the nh version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberthenning Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Roof still looks like the two ends of nothing, and the mudguard look a bit better but still along way from perfect, would be fine for a britains/siku toy, but its an expensive replica, that would cost them no more to do right as do it wrong.

harvey123 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Bryan Hoggarth siad that when they where first released they had the same roof as the ts range but later on had there own roof fitted so some are different to others \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roberthenning Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 seen a 8560 yesterday, i know where there is one,parked up,so had a good look,cant see how the mudguards are wrong I drove one of the hateful old things for 3 long years ha ha!, the are too flat on the model, should be slightly more tapered like the britains one, but not as much as it. As for the roof the ts iirc are the same as teh 7840's which are identical in every way to the 8560s apart from not having two circles at the front for mounting flashers on. The bottom bit of the roof is even to high letalone the hump on the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 the roof on these two are a lot lower than the early prototype pics we saw, think thats what tris may have posted, but is still too high, the arches, i aint qualified to say about, see many tm's arround ,dont recall a 8650, but they are the same nigh on i bleive and i do look but i have never studied them like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
