justy 46 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I would have liked the New Performance Major in my collection ...but the front 3 spoke rims are a turn off... Should have the front rims like the Pre Force 5000 I recon .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Same here Justin, those cast fronts seem to spoil a nice looking model, and unless can find a cheap pre-forcer to donate it's front rims and tyres it'll get an expensive tractor, unless a set of rims off Nigel at scaledown were used, then at least it could be given bigger boots on the back as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catkom3 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Definitely not my cup of tea,but a good fitting bonnet would have been nice, Regards Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right there Joe, It's not really my cup of coffee either I don't think the 16th version of this "Launch" tractor sold too well... one or two of the complete set collectors will have splashed the cash, and probably will with this 32nd version, but I know Big Dave Steele bought 3 or 4 of the 16th ones at £25 a pop to be used as donors for various convo's that he has in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 There's a few pics on tinternet of new performance majors with that type of wheel but interestingly most seem to be 4 spoke design not 3 spoke as uh used , all are listed as early models , the rears look the same mind , have to say I may get 2 one for a conversion to pre force wheels from Scaledown as that will be cheaper than a uh ford 5000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 All UH have done is fit a new roof, new bonnet and new exhaust to the old model...............But the cab (apart from the roof )still looks the same as previous T7......CASE Puma efforts ,which were wrong! Im sure many will be happy, but I say just closely compare the UH cab to the ROS one! I thought the outgoing Blue power tractors looked better than the standard blue ones...................but this time its the reverse...........this new model looks better in its home strip imo.

justy 46 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 So that's why UH models are sometimes bad. They take dimensions from freehand sketches!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Ok not being a nh lover ,whats wrong with the cab then?? I could spot the uh massey muck ups , i understand and know masseys , so to me its easy, i know many makers have said that cabs are by far the hardest part to make, due to how fine the frames usually are , but i get that they shouldnt get basic angles wrong ? Or is it more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whincebros Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 My guess the new puma will have the same mistake. Any way UH did some clean and found there old Fendt 818 mold, and rename it in to Fendt 716 gen II and gen III is that definitely a 716? Looking at it on my phone and can't get the numbers to focus!!t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whincebros Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Same dimensions as a 718, plenty of scope for conversion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

international454mn Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 these DAVID BROW CASE IH 90/94 series tractors must be something else 2-3 years in the making .....how long I wonder does it take from measureing up a real machine to a production run take for Universal Hobbies wonder what problems they are having with them ...could it be CNH not letting them or making sure they get them right.......heres some I did 11 years ago just to remind you all ok not detailed and quite crude but not bad for my first attempt ha ha if I can do it UH should make brilliant 90/94 tractors come on guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
