Niels Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The new Fendt 724 Vario S4 (2015 edition) from Universal Hobbies finally decided to turn up today! It is a very nice model and for once I can't pick many holes in it, despite it being from Mr. UH. As a comparison I have put it side by side with the older Schuco 724. I have the first gen. model in the uncorrect grey. Later ones look better. So which is best? It doesn't really matter it turns out IMO. They both have their good and bad points. UH 724 Schuco 724 2 beacons 1 beacon Better colour Wider wheels Nicer interiour Nicer linkage arms Nicer back end Nicer no. plate Proper lights Better mirrors (smaller) Bonnet more sturdy Sadly the UH doesn't have opening doors or a rear window and the front hitch doesn't move with me, but it does come with a top link. The lift arms on both the front and rear on Schuco's effort are much nicer. We will just have to wait for Wikings version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 the front linkage on the uh does move Niels? it looks like it does from your pictures,do the front links fold up? again from your pictures it looks like it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 i must admit i am tempted,as also the farm where i work has just got two of these 724's,one brand new and the other is an ex demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whincebros Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Can you put uh implements on the schuco one? Both look very impressive models... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Schuco rear links are next to useless!! UH much more effective,but a little crude....................The UH cab looks a bit narrow to me in comparison to the schuco. I prefer my Schuco version, which I corrected the various light grey parts with a few shades of grey ......................I must put a more recent picture of it up as I changed the rear wheels with a 820 models. That was because most of the new 700 Fendts round here run on R42 rears not R38s and look better for it I think. I would think the best 724 buy now would be the "revised" Schuco 724 which had corrected a lot of the original models short comings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 @Paul: It has the pistons but doesn't go up or down on my model. The linkage arms can fold up but one won't stay up with me. @John; Yes you probably could. Can't see why that is an issue. Also varies per implement usually. The UH has a proper pin on the back for mounting trailed implements. The Schuco has a Scharmüller ball coupling. @Phil: I find the Schuco hitch is alright? Not perfect but can't say I have had issues with it. Looks a little more realistic, why I prefer it but more difficult for trailed machinery. Since you mentioned sizes I measured up both models. Measurements are identical, despite what the pictures show. I can see why you reckon the UH cab is smaller. This is because the cab pillars on the Schuco are 1,5mm and on the UH they are 3mm, making the window area smaller. Which is correct I wouldn't know. Otherwise size wise they are both spot on!

justy 46 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm yet to see the tractors in the flesh... as in the real deals. But by those pics , I think the UH version looks a little better. It's only downfall would be the rear linkage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 The most notable difference Justin is the colour both of the grey (black) and the Fendt green. On the UH one it is so much better which makes the model stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
