Hillview Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 The Kane Half pipe has been out on demo in NI with Moira Model Club. First to try out the new Kane was Hollytree Farm Agri Contracts. A new Fendt 724 was drawing alongside the Claas 970 Quote

aaron moore Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Has the trailer got a steering axle? looks great though Quote
walsh35 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 how hard will it be to remove the silage sides for hauling grain Quote
Claaspower Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 how hard will it be to remove the silage sides for hauling grain I don't think you can remove them,I think that's why they have a Grain version as well Quote
MODELFARMER Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Looks, good, just now to start taking them apart!! Quote
Paul Palmer Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 they look very good,probably be getting a couple of grain and silage versions Quote
TM190 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Not be long till my shipment arrive hopefully Get them pulled apart quicker than they were built! Quote
jordantaylor Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Nice trailers, how much are they going to cost and when are they for sale??? Quote
Mike R Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 someone told me the second week in February they are due in Quote
Hillview Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Kane Grain trailer carting away from the Claas Lexion 770TT Edited January 27, 2012 by Hillview Quote
jdman Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Please tell me that they are prototypes there mesh is filled in Quote
SPN Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Thanks for the pics, but is there any chance of a few pics with them under T6000s and T7000s. It's very hard to judge them hitched to rare beasties that you don't see every day. I'd swap the 770tt for a Tucano or Dominator as well. Quote
bluegreen Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 The Lex pictures illustrate perfectly why not having a working graintank spoils the model The Kanes look good but it is annoying they didnt get the wheels the right colour as others have said, Its a good job I have silver paint and a brush waiting for them isnt it Quote

I for one will definetly be buying a few of these regardless of these minor glitches Quote
Deere-est Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 They look a good solid toy and good enough to be a model too. Applause for Britains for doing much better recently right across the board. Have Kane trailers ever had white wheels? ACE used to but by the time Britais brought their model out, most had silver rims on them. Quote
Tractorman810 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 looks great for a 15 quid toy, which people still keep forgetting it seem going by comments, steering axel, good looking multi stage single ram, got to be a first for britains, good tow eye detail, even if the shoes a bit to big? if the best we can do is maon the wheels are the wrong colour, then i would say its a 95% good model from them, overall if you paid 60 to 100 quid and had the minor issue wrong then go ahead and conplain i recon looking at the pics, the silage tops could be removed on the bodys, but not sure on the rear tailgate?? theres holes in the body half way along the grain sides one, with a lip on the inside for something to sit into ie the silage top Quote
Hillview Posted January 28, 2012 Author Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Please tell me that they are prototypes there mesh is filled in These are not prototypes. These are the real thing. The mesh is filled in. As others have already said Britain's produce toys not models. These are designed for the 'carpet farm.' However in my opinion with a little bit of work they are not far away from a scratch built Kane. Good value for £15. Should be able to have 2 or these instead of a scratchbuilt trailer. Alot of 'carpet farmers' will have fun with these. Things like the mesh, the shoe, wheels need changing but they are not major. I think it's a winner for both carpet farmers and model collectors. Well done Britains. Edited January 28, 2012 by Hillview Quote
Tractorman810 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 well said mate, may invest in one to have a tinker with, just to see, not into grass kit that much ,but they look worth a buy to be honest Quote
Hillview Posted January 28, 2012 Author Posted January 28, 2012 Should be a good base for conversionists. Will be interesting to see what changes they will make. Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Thanks for sharing the pictures of your Demo Peter... will we ne seeing one (or more) take up permentant residence on Hillview farm mate Quote
MuirHillyBilly Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I think they both look good for a Britains, nice few details, good decals and no doubt solid. We'd all like more detail perhaps but that's not what Britains are about so for super detail but a more fragile build the alternative is to probably buy a £80 scratchbuilt one Quote
