Valley Axe Man Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Wonder what new models will be done by UH in 1/16th this year?? Still waiting the release of the Nuffield 10/60, (which was due in 2013) and also news of the Agritechnia version of the Case 1455xl that seems to have passed us by........

Valley Axe Man Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Id love that 7810 that was rumored to be coming to arrive ! Now that would be a nice model to arrive in 2014, John , I'm sure it would be a good seller for UH even to those "blue men" who prefer 32nd, seems daft leaving the blue line at the 7600...... 3/4 of the tooling already exists for a bubble cabbed version...... surely it wouldn't cost UH the earth to do the tooling for the cab and floorpan as the original 5000/7000/7600 chassis tooling must have paid for itself many times over. and that would open up a whole new list of possibilities for conversions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it would be is tooling for a front grill & decals!!!! And a 3cyl FORD please UH.!!!! Whats was Fords best selling tractor of all time ?? THE 4000!!!!!

Tractorman810 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 uh have a open book in terms of what they could do in 16th, given all the classics they do already in 32nd so have the rights to, I do hope though they start adding more features on what ever they make, after all, you can get opening doors, windows etc on a good selection of 32nd scale models now, so why not in the 16th, which in my eyes should be a lot easier to make anyway, if they started adding bits like this to say the ford 7600/7000 they did, or the ih's they did I would consider adding any fergys they did then, especially if its the older 100 / 500 600 series stuff, best of them all, a nice mf1250 but I doubt I will ever see that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 You hit the nail on the head Sean.... Ok up to press the 16th's haven't been too bad of a model without too many cock-ups but like you so rightly say opening doors and windows would improve the overall WOW factor..... there would be the odd mistake if UH said they were doing a 16th 550 following on from from previous 135, etc and quite a few would buy as a 16th 550 is different.... but quite a few more would bite the bullet if the tractors had extra features such as the open doors/windows ...... the one niggle I have with UH is the number of fergy tractors that they've done in 16th in so many different colour schemes........

Tractorman810 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Mistakes will always happen as to find a 1000% real tractor of the age they are making is nigh on I possable,so many bit get swapped over the years by owners , even some of the best restore jobs will not be perfect despite what the owners may say, the mf135 they did had round arches, which I only ever remember being on very early ones model was mid life version , and that was a agco museam one they restored , that's how hard it is now. So you can not really blame uh for them issues , modern stuff should never be wrong given it's all computer design so it's a simple scale down job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 According to Tyro-Toys website, this pair was due December 2013........ The long awaited Nuffield 10/60 and a Hi winged version of the MF 50?? How hard of a job do you reckon a scale up job would be the Sean?? Just say for instance the Ford 7810. If that's on a CAD system somewhere in the bowels of UH design.... then surely it wouldn't take much to double the dimensions on the screen to produce a set off masters for a 16th version?? If UH did go that route and do the 7810 then it would open up the tooling to allow bigger versions of the 10 series that's currently in the 32nd program. I'm sure if UH got into a few more of the Classics in 16th then they'd sell a good few, not just Fords but as you said some of the Classic MF's too.. If UH were to pick the right tractors they could get a hell of a lot of models out of each tooling set, and therefore spread the initial costs over many releases...... Rule of thumb a UH 16th is around the £60 mark..... a lot of 32nd getting up to £38 ish If UH could do a 16th MF 590 or Bubble cabbed 7600 say for £80-£85 with the opening doors/window etc, I reckon they'd sell like hot cakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 If it's computer held then it's easy , just new moulds to make I guess , if they have the ford 7600 or mf held like that I doubt sadly , your prob looking at anything from say 1990 onwards at a guess give or take a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Any pics of the Ford 5000 with the safety cab thats due!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 there's a picture of it in the latest uh brouchure Justin, and it was the discussion at the recent Malvern show between some of us, now it does say prototype on the pic, but to us it just looked like the ford 7600 with 5000 decals on the bonnet, and a 5000 grill, it still has the window in the back of the cab( thought they had a roll down sheet) and the wheels looked way to big for it to?? if I get time tomorrow I will try and scan it for you, unless someone beats me to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 The long awaited 16th scale Ford 5000 is now available, G&M have it in stock along with the ltd edition version of the Fordson E27N and both Farmer Ed and Martyn's Farm Models had the 5000 for sale at the Newark tractor show yesterday. Didn't purchase one though as I've a couple to collect (Hopefully ) at the Lakeland show next weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehos Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Thanks for letting us know Paul. Hope to see them in Zwolle also. Is the ltd edition version of the E27N different from the regular issue apart from the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 I don't think there are any detail changes to the actual tractor itself Jack.... although it wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't either.... like you say a fancy box and a bit of a certificate. This year UH seemed to have dropped a lot of the 16th models out of the catalogue for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Testing testing,ha ha!,Anyone interested in the new David Brown 996/995 might like a look at these photo's on GT DB 996 etc Regards Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
