catkom3 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 uh kuhn vari master plough,this will be converted so it sits and displays better,as this guy has done from the french forum gtp,the top plough in the picture is as it comes out of the box,the bottom plough is after he has altered it,and it does look a lot better That Vari master doesn't need any alterations,the things about as flexible as an Octopus,there are so many hydraulic rams and pivot points you can pose it virtually any way you want,transport position however is a different story,??

Regards Joe. no it doesnt open up wide enough Joe,and the plough shares are at the wrong angle,look at the picture again joe,just altering the angle of the plough shares improve it no end,but i think it will be a fiddly job,model is very fragile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcy_p Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Cor, she is abig ole gel Malcy !! you'll have to get to work & extend that spout & header. The auger would look better if longer (and without the knob to activate the auger...!) but would mean cutting her! The header is a different matter... Bruder sell spares for the Lexion 480 and 780 toys with 480 headers available separately. They are not (yet?) available for the 780 but two 1:16 V900 chopped and joined would make a very nice V1200, and at 75cm wide that would need a longer header trolley too! /malc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 So the convo ones just been set out for wider furrows then? Looking at mine I thought it would swing ok with just a screw removed as uh have added all the pivot points etc already so should be easy enough to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 sean,the shares are held with a pin,so wether you have to pull the pin then adjust im not sure,but definately the shares do not swing and i dont want to force them as the model is very fragile, i will check further tomorrow,i am going to remove the uh hitch,which is easy as held on by 2 screws,that will move the plough closer to the tractor,and im getting a realistic 3 point hitch on my 8450 conversion so it should all hitch up nice and close 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcy_p Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Love it malcy did you get it from manns No, didn't go to Manns for it, it came from Germany 'on the cheap'. I was going to get it from Manns but unfortunately they couldn't get me a silver 100 Years Lexion so I wasn't going to make the 90 mile round road trip when I could get the 780 delivered for much less than the cost of petrol - even if that meant missing out on seeing the guys at BSE!

malcy_p Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Two exciting deliveries today... First up a weird Lexion clone I found on e-bay. Another copy of the Bruder Lexion 480 at what I am guessing is 1/24 scale. I have the Bruder 1/20th scale original, plus a 1/32 scale Chinese rip off, and now the one in the middle. Exactly the same construction and mouldings as the Bruder but odd colours and very poorly applied stickers. Still, it's a Lexion of sorts so pleased to have it having never seen one like it before! Secondly, the Claas 100 Years Lexion. Not much to report, apart from mine cost less than €300 including the postage from Germany - so given the fact they were €249 from Claas that's no much of a markup for a well known 500 piece limited edition. Still, not complaining! /malc. Edited November 7, 2013 by malcy_p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
