the other green Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Having decided to concentrate on tractors that I remember from my (misguided) youth including classics from the '80s and early '90s, I'd like your opinions on the UH tractors in the subject line. I'm not too bothered about what is "correct" compared to tractors you remember, its more build quality, fragility, paint finish and detail etc. thanks in advance.

Richard de Florennes Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 my short advice: MF 590 - great model, good detail MF 3080 - good detail but very fragile Ford - ok, but wrong colour (grey?) on cab, wheels and front guard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 All very good, I have the 7810, the 3080 and the 590 and am as happy with each one as the other. The Ford grey is not the wrong colour but many people have assumed that the grey is infact white in the past which is not the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 i would say if you can afford it get all 3, i have and they are great classic tractors all arround when i was young and on the farm , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford/nh fan Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 i have all three and very happy with all of them. the 7810 is a good model one of my all time favourites as i used to have one. the colour in my opinion is correct . the colour if you go to a dealer it is ford tractor grey .they changed to bianco white when changed to the blue roof 40 series .

SHAWN Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I havent got a 3080 yet , but have a 590 and three 7810's , one silver and two blue ones, theyre all excellent models in my opinion , and I cant see that the ford is painted in the wrong colour grey , Go on spoil yourself and buy all three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the other green Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks lads, I was planning to get all three and this thread was to make sure one wasn't a duffer. I actually went to a toy show last Saturday and picked up the 590. It was the only one of the three available. I'm well pleased with it and will be adding the other two as soon as it is prudent.

Deere-est Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 thats what he just said i didn't know they went bianca white ? i've always called it ford grey \ No Marcus, the white roof 40 series came before the blue roof and that was the new white too. Honestly, some people! :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 No Marcus, the white roof 40 series came before the blue roof and that was the new white too. Honestly, some people! :laugh: sorry tris never really taken much notice of scrap metal \ ;D as far as i was concerned ford's white has always been called 'ford grey' just like david brown orange was called 'power red' my working era was all 10 series fords & 5/2/3/600 /2000 /3000series MF, the late 40 series & 6100 series were about but sort of passed me by ! what i called modern are now deemed as classics to put it into context for myself , i had a brand new JD 7710 when they first came out in 97 that 14 years ago :of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 well they say life begins at 40 well i'm now 41 & havent slept a wink due to my re-occuring back problem , my elbow has all but seized uo which is giving me no end of grief & my fingers don't seem to want to work without much effort , so i'm amazed the likes of marky & barry actually move at all ;D life begins at 40 ? well it's not going quite so well as i expected ;D as far as i'm concerned ford white will always be grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuirHillyBilly Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I have the 7810 and I love it, looks chunky and solid, some nice detailing throughout including aerial, front lights, cab lights and interior detail. The only downside is the linkage area which is a bit bland and the hitch itself looks slightly too big for the tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
