Fendt Fahrer Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 This forum has indeed helped me getting to know some fantastic people who share the same hobby. It has also enlighted me on the fact that I am not the only "beyong help" person out there. Just think of how much money our comunity has spent over the last 5 years or so . I also believe a forum like this can greatly influence manufacturers. I remember when I joined this forum that Siku models were some of the most detailed models available. and if you wanted to have a plough, rake or many more implements you had at most the choice of one model, either a siku or britains. Nobody else did any implements. Times have changed and this forum has been a big part of that change. I have never been sorry to be part of it. I used to be part of a German forum. Not at all like this forum. People constantly attack each other critisize whatever they say. Many discussions are cut short because of either peoples rudeness or some moderator not happy where the discussion is going. I would like to thank all the fantastic members on here to give me so much friendship and banter Thank you all * * 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yes, that is all very true indeed. You made a good point, Marcus especially about the financial impact this Forum for one must have on a hobby. They are sure to effect the amount of money being spent as we all see what other people buy, leading us to buy more individually. The manufacturers are sure to have done better, the amount of new manufacturers almost prove that point as they ate all younger than the main Forums. It does seem to be only FTF which also has a strong community feel though doesn't it? I think so. A lot more conversations about a lot more subjects. Some more random than most, of course!! Also the banter which we get here I think is exclusive. It's just as easy to upset someone as it is to be misunderstood, no time more than through the written word. The members here on FTF generally strike a balance on their own though, all credit to everybody. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 On the contrary, Bill. This topic is far from random and is one that you wern't the first to think of and nor will you be the last. Related topics like these are always served very well as the one coon denominator we all share is our membership to the subject discussion, FTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Wiking and many others have emerged since then but it seems strange the two big guns were still Siku and Britains back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 dont think uh did tractors then ?? but did exsist as a company doing cars i think ,sure the tractors came along not to long after i joined, with the big renault ? i think, the altles was it??

Fendt Fahrer Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 it is quite possible they did some tractors already but were surly not a major player yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJH Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 The first tractor that UH produced was the Renault Atles in 2001. But this one was not produced under the name of Universal Hobbies, but Jouef, since 2002 it's called Universal Hobbies But UH is 'famous' since 2004/2005, the they came with the Claas Cougar, Fendt 818 Vario, Valtra C and Claas Quantum. But I'm now for 6 years on the FTF and still my English is realy bad.... It's a shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 When the ftf weirdos all met up for the first time Spalding April 2006 there was only a few UH models, the power major 1:16 had caused quite a stir at the time and from memory Steve & Karen has just launched the first BB Mccomick from UH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
