FNHIR Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Does anybody know the real story behind the decision to include Siku-style front linkage on this was? Only just noticed that the two 8R JDs in the catalogue have front weights so no tractors (excluding the JCBs) have a front linkage. Fair enough (though unlikely) if they were helping the collector by allowing him to put on front-mounted Siku implements, but if so then why only do it on the one model? And if there were plans to reintroduce Britains front-mounted implements, why was it nixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Clearly it's a mystery to everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claaspower Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 ;D First time seeing this,maybe it's a mistake on Britains part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Pictures of the forthcoming 7R show it also has the front A-frame, and no, I don't think there has been an official reason given for fitting it - perhaps something for Andy to ask questions about? I expect the reason is similar to the reason why Siku, Hausser, Yaxon et al fitted a Britains type rear linkage when they started out making toy tractors.

FNHIR Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 I presume it's something along those lines PM, but why do it on just two models? And those companies also began to produce implements to fit their (and Britains') tractors, but Britains don't seem to have a front-mounted programme in the offing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
