Paul Palmer Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 my opinion mrol,uh county looks better than the marge one and the marge 8030 looks better than the uh,only thing about the marge 8030 is the lights look very big on the top of the mudguards,nice buys though mrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Great pics Ol. My own view is the same as Pauls. The Marge County is just not right ,cause its basicly a copy of one individual County in Holland somewere. The blue paint also looks too dark . The UH one looks better. But the Marge 30 Series is quiet nice, bar the mudguards. I could not quiet see what ye were getting at with them,but now I see. The UH version looks anorexic long side the Marge.

robbo Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 my opinion mrol,uh county looks better than the marge one and the marge 8030 better than the uh I would have to agree with that apart from the UH County front axle being so close to the cab, don't think that bit is right.

The UH version looks anorexic long side the Marge. i think the paint colour might be just the photo quality. if anything, i'd say the UH machine is darker blue in the flesh. The blue is the same as that used on the smaller 7610 machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 suddenly no ones saying the marges 8730 tyres are skinny and small :laugh: :laugh: compaired to the uh one they look positivley float size :laugh: may get that marge 87 will have a proper look at it at toytrac and consider it from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrol Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I keep going back to look at the models side by side, and particularly for the Marge 8730, it just seems to look more 'right'. I drove a Q cabbed TW35 when I was a student harvest worker and it seems to have the right proportions - particularly the bonnet. The UH just seems a little too skinny as Sean said above.

Theike Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Hello mrol. Don't look at the models and chose the best looking but look at the original and decide what is the best model.

bluegreen Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Yes the Marge is the better of the two TWs except on one point!! The UH version has the Bonnet height correct the Marge has it to low................................. just check where the bonnet intersects the front windscreen........................... it should be obviously higher than the windscreens central dividing bar and on the Marge this is not the case which is why it looks wrong! I also think the TW25 will look better due to the contrast of white mudguards and light grey radiator grill , theres too much black on the 30s and im surprised Marge went with the 8730 before the TW25 The black mudguards and the extension flaps look like one piece on the Marge.............. which they are not.................the TW25 will look much better with the white mudguards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spose a TW35 is a non runner by Marge, It would be great if the split the early Q & later Super Q cabbed models between the 25 & 35.

Howard_S Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Can anyone supply me with the correct decals for the 1884 yet? Or does anyone want a photo of the originals to make some up for me please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAINH1973 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Got my marge county at the weekend. I dont like the wheels on the uh county but over all it looks better. The nose is lower on the marge making the bonnet slope down a bit and the bonnet should be higher up the front windscreen and this is why i think it looks a bit odd. I really like the front weights though and it sits well in my county collection. Twice the price of the uh one though! this might put on or two people off buying it.

justy 46 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The DBP is a fine job,but the roof sould be a bit more shallow on it. Thanks for the pics!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendt Fahrer Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 3 models and 3 different looks. I do like the DP best although I agree the roof top is to thick. The marge defenitly has a bonnet that is too low. Also the wiperblade on it seems to be a bit small. Put that UH cab on the DP and I am happy.
