dave the farmer Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 any farm 1/87 models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJH Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 No, also no Farmer 1/50 models... Only these 2! The JCB is a 435S Agri with silage fork btw and the tractor with mower a Aebi! Don't expect to much, it's Siku (just look at the Fastrac 4000 and imagine a 435S Agri...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave the farmer Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Thanks for posting atte.whats up with siku.seems less farm model each.was hopeing for a jd Rx and some wider drills and cultivators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke190 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Awesome news about the loader!! Yes, it is a shame we are getting less Siku recently. I really like the Holaras silage press, even the removable weights are metal and for a cheap model its very well made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke190 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The Farmmodel News Facebook page has just posted photos of the two new Siku models. I have to say, despite the 435 agri being in my top 10 most wanted modern models, this doesn't look like a great effort. But it'll do as a base model to improve upon and I suppose that's a fun part of the hobby. I should just be grateful someone's making it in the first place Warning- shield your eyes from the buckrake. It really is that bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Siku promo shots are quite often of early prototypes so the 435 might not be too bad, at least it will have painted metal in its build...................as others have said it might just need a bit of detailing and a buck rake from 3 oaks or someone.............................I'm very happy with my JCB 4220 Britains / siku hybrid tractor, maybe Britains 419s can be used to swap parts with the siku 435 as well.

Luke190 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Yes, I'm sure the finished version will look a little better. Like you said, it should be a nice metal model that's easy to improve upon. I'm still excited for it and the 419s which is marketed specifically towards clamp work. Wheeled loaders always seemed the weakest link in large 1:32 silage fleets, but now they're like London buses - all coming at once - the claas from Wiking, and these 2 JCBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Siku-3663-Jcb-435-S-Agri-Radlader-1-3-2-New-Boxed/352265357548?epid=12024414485&hash=item5204a6c8ec:g:cAoAAOSwfdNbuJmg The JCB appears to have been released in Germany now. Doesn't look as good as the Britains 419S but I would imagine theres a lot more metal in it. I'm sure there is some potential in it but looks like a fair old job. Can't really understand why Siku have gone back to their old style naff wheels - something with large hubs would improve the model for a start off. The extra hydraulic cylinders put me off (and the buckrake) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were they thinking of with the buck rake bucket!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I suppose since taking over Wiking they have scaled back the Siku farmer range. I saw an old Siku catalogue from 2008 on eBay and there was a scan of the tractor range from then and there were 2 full pages of tractors not including the classic models. Nowadays there is just 1 page. Some of the latter releases were very good despite the usual front linkage etc (Case Magnum, JD 8360R, McCormick TTX, JD 6210R) but the last few releases have regressed back to the early 2000s type releases. The Fastrac wasn't good, the Manitou was a disappointment and now so is this Loader. In a way it feels as though it's a wasted opportunity that the 435 couldn't be a Wiking model, though I'm not sure if the JCB licence is specific to Siku...and of course wiking are planning to release the Claas Torion loader so probably wouldn't want to release a competing machine at the same time.
