Just checking - for me, I'd like a combine which can be displayed in work/road modes, and has a header trailer. Opening panels also good, but not essential - that was one of the reasons I liked those Siku combines (MF Delta/Fendt Hybrid/John Deere T670i) I thought the Wiking 780 was about the ultimate combine model. I was keen for an Ideal 7 to be released, but as limited as I now am for space, only have room for 1 combine, and more than happy with my Deutz. I think its heartening that Ros has altered the Ideals to depict in both modes, and a nice touch to release 2 different models. Its good to read favourable reports on them in magazines, especially after the horror stories of the early Deltas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FendtFarmer Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Some pics of the newer ideal, haven’t got the original to directly compare to but from pics I think there is a massive improvement, grain lids, can, steps, tracks, header is good but slightly lacking detail compared to Wiking headers, also lacking a header trailer, not a minor issue but would be liked If people want anymore pics let me know and I’ll try my best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been tempted to paint mine red, but when it is a £200 model it concentrates the mind when you get out the spray paint can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Just cant warm to the grey colour , i get the logic of same use parts etc but not same colour , its loosing the identity of the brand. Still a hell of a model , but i think if buying one i would go for the smaller 7t is it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catkom3 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Excellent pictures Ben,nice to see they've sorted the auger out,it used to just stick straight out,it was barely high enough to get a trailer under,the opening lids are way better too,but I think you'll find the header is better than the Wiking Lexion as the reel can over up or down on tiny hydraulic rams,so you can pose it at the wheat or OSR, and it has the belts in front of the auger as for the colour,I really like it,don't remember anyone moaning when AGCO revealled the Next Massey in black,!!

Tractorman810 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 difference is joe they are limited editions not run of the mill production stuff like the combines are , had it been just a launch gimmick , then a few months later out came red and green fine, the brands and everyones recognition of the brand is still there, it would be like jd going purple for arguments sake .

sipher172 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I think the difference is that the Ideal combine wasn't a using of similar parts between machines it was a joint project between all Agco divisions to build a combine from scratch. I think that is the reason they dont have Brand colors as it isn't the product of one brand it is a joint Agco project. Potential it should have been in the Agco Orange/Red.
