The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Lucky all 3 are gems mate. 8) Very impressed with all three Ol, can't pick a favourite out of them. I do like my classics. Haven't got my camera at my parents but should have them all photographed and posted up by the end of the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Nice classics David my latest is a Schuco International 1455xl, ordered it yesturday from Germany and today you can get it from sellers in this country Thanks Mark delighted with all three despite that strange looking rear hitch on the Valmet. Noticed that too regards the availability of the 1455XL, one of which is up in my neck of the woods on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike R Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 delivered to me today 2 new Siku models Fendt 9470x combine and NH T 8-390 tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yes the hitch is only good for pulling a trailer, they did that on the smaller of the Zetors. With tha International it works out about the same price with postage but if your doing it on the buy it now price it works out about £4 cheaper. Definitely going to be putting some pennies aside for a 1455XL. There's quite a few nice classics appearing at the moment that i'd quite like to add to my collection, but i've 5 days of Leeds Festival to look forward to next week so i'm being very careful with my finances.

Thep aint finish is quit good but i think if you buy it not on the internet you must take a look at the finished product because one of the 2 is not that good in my opinion. But if you look in general it looks prety darn good!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fantastic model Josh, solid and chunky with a good number of nice little details too. I've been craving one of these tractors in model form for a while now. I seem to recall reading somewhere John Deere sold about half a dozen of these tractors in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
