Farmersam Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hi, I'm looking at buying a combine harvester. I do a bit of carpet farming but still want a model that has got a bit of detail. Which one do you think I should get? Any info, advice or feedback on any of these models? Or is there another model harvester that would be good? Cheers Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Depends if you want a lot of detail mate. Anything UH, Schuco will have a lot of detail and will look great on display on in dioramas. However if it will get a lot of attention (i.e played with) you are better off with a Britains or Siku as they are more robust but with a lot less detail. Personally I went for a Class Matador and Fendt combine both from UH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massey Boy Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Ive got the Siku Massey 7278 and the Claas Lexion 600. They are both strong playable models but both feature good detail, removable headers with trailers. The Masseys header is 20ft and the Claas's is 30ft, i would recommend both models. Hope this helps.

CX820Joe Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I chose the Siku Lexion and John Deere, chiefly because they could be displayed in or out of use (opening grain tanks), have header trailers, and opening panels so they could also be part of a workshop scene. Thats not to say the others aren't good models, they are, in fact they are better detail wise - but for sheer versatility you can't beat the Siku models. Of course there are 2 new Siku combines coming out as well, so a bit more choice. The Britains CX880 is rather nice, with a little tweaking as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't thought of that, but it would be handy to be able to "be displayed in or out of use (opening grain tanks), have header trailers, and opening panels" . Siku MF 7278 like Masset boy says isa good model. Yeah, I've always liked the look of it (ever since I was about 5 years old infact! ) Quite a good size for us in NZ as the header isn't too wide. what do people think of the Norev Claas Dominator? I like the look of it but I've heard its quite fragile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 The Norev is a lovely looking piece of kit, very detailed but I picked one up at Spalding and you can just tell it is fragile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
