Tractorman810 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 looks a nice model overall,if its to the same standard as the other blue power i have then they beat uh hands down i feel , but the white lettering does spoil it a bit for me in the looks department , wonder why they have done that when they didnt on the other?? maybe its trelli that have told them to do it for the rights to use that tyre on it? and not down to ros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 just noticed the blue power one on g&m s preview sale stuff doesnt have the white lettering on the tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 a matter of personal prefference,but as somebodys allready said,looks like a tractor that would be home on some agri show stand,im sure if you wanted to ,that white would come off quite easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJH Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 just noticed the blue power one on g&m s preview sale stuff doesnt have the white lettering on the tyres? That is the prototype (see page 7) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Trac Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 It definitely stands out ha ha!. Maybe they are highlighting how hard it is to mould the words into the side walls. I should know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 If you do like white lettering on your tyres,PMA 32 have just released a set of MICHELIN 800 / 70 R 48 tyres with white writing for € 15.70 http://www.artisan32.com/product.php?id_product=308 Regards Joe.

FordTractorCrazy Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 i do like the fact that the white lettering was added to the model. Atleast this way it is not a simple decal change and the more i look at it, the more i like it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOLOSHEP1 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 It definitely stands out . Maybe they are highlighting how hard it is to mould the words into the side walls. I should know been moulding the writing in for about 7 years now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Both models look ace to me and I already own a T7070 which is second only in quality and detail to my Wiking Fendt 828 and better than any of my decent UH models. With regard to the blue power version I must say that until I saw a real one in the flesh at the DOE show I hadnt been interested in one but it really did look good and one of the local guys chopped in his year old 7070 and bought a blue power version back before xmas so I am liking them more and more. Personally I like the look of those tyres but just as I have done with my 7070 I would be painting that bar axle silver and black as it should be and not gold which is the only tiny blemish on a great model. Well done ROS :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNHIR Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I can't warm to the Blue Power versions for some reason, it just looks as if it belongs on The Fast and The Furious. If I were a farmer then I'd want my fleet all the same shade of blue (a cause of the poor sales of the real silver 7810, so we might see these fetching huge prices in 20 years!)

Deere-est Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I think these are smart, the smartest of any colour tractor. Of all the colours you can have a Valtra, these Blue Powers knock'em down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo22 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Yes, at Spalding Andy. They have got it in as a demonstrator. Compaired to the standard colour one's it did look smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Exhaust looks familiar....... It is a clever way of marketing their Ad Blue strategy also.... not an easy job entering the emision regulations.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Look what i found today. Note the colour of the bar axle? Its not gold is it ROS!! Ive got a nice pair of black wheel weights waiting for one of these blue powers too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I also notice that on the real model pictured above the decals on the bonnet are ALL silver but on the blue power 1/32 the bonnet decal the stripe is yellow and the same as standard tractor \ hopefully on the models that come of the production line this inaccuracy will have been dealt with.

Deere-est Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 You could always contact ROS direct with your concerns and point out these areas of inaccuracy, they may well appreciate the feedback. Whilst discussions about models will always bring out the best and worst in a model, discussions are pretty limited in there effect. May be worth emailing ROS with photos of the real model and the areas you're talking about, highlighted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 They got this right on the T7070 version so I'd imagine it was just a matter of using the regular decals for this pre-production version, it'll probably be fine when it comes out, like when Britains' NH yellow baler had yellow wheels in the initial pictures but white ones upon its release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Cab and chassis are wrong colour, and there is no tread on the tyres, these manufactureres are getting worse Forgive me, but isn't that a 160-90 sticker on it not a 180-90?!? Does this model show us that the bonnet and weights are existing parts, and the rest of the model is new? Nice tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 What was wrong with the old 180-90 DT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
