Paul Palmer Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 might have posted this before,we all know that the exhaust is on the wrong side of the bonnet and also the front weights are on upside down,but also i have noticed that there are steps on each side of the cab,for this bonnet decal model ,that is wrong as the very first 2000 models were 1 door cabs,so i will have to cut off the right hand steps,another boob from uh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Dont want to sound critcal, but who is giving the final checkover on these models in the UH company before they go into production & approving them ?? Such silly mistakes from UH lately over the last year or so with their new models. I was thinking of getting a UH MF 2640 4wd & 2620 2wd. Now im having second toughts. Thanks for sharing that info Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 you are right justin,when i get the model ,i will just have to cut them off,i might apply for a job at uh,its not that difficult to give the models a checkover,biggest mistake is the exhaust on the wrong side of the bonnet,that means spraying the bonnet ,oh and the upside down front weights,dont know if i can put that right until i get the model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masseyjack590 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I don't imagine the people who build them have ever seen most of the models and the designers are only working from photos, they ought to be better for the price of them though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I took this picture in 1987 of an 84 ( plate 2680 ................I was surprised at just how skinny its tyres were looking back at it...................looks like UH got the rubber right.

Tractorman810 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 i think a lot of people forget just how small tyres were in them days, on fords jd's and mf's. we have all become so acustomed to seeing huge boots on stuff now, and older stuff being pimped by owners to suit modern kit , in them days they were big tyres on that 2680 compaired to most 2wd tractors arround , which were a lot more common than the 2680 ,these were the days when big 4wds were a pretty new sight on most farms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 you are right there in the last 2 posts,the tyres are ok,i just cant get past the other faults ive listed,but when the model arrives i will put them right,rear standard tyres were 18,4-38,fronts were 13,6-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
