JEP Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Lovely looking models there Chris. Suprising how big the axion looks against the torion, given that is a loading shovel in the 19-20 tonner class. Out of Interest would it be possible to measure the cab height and wheelbase of the torion - they should be approx 105mm (cab height) 106mm (wheelbase). Regards John.

If you don't mind,while your at it,could you please measure the height of the pivot pin on the bottom of the bucket when it's fully raised,thank you, Regards Joe.

The Axion isn’t any bigger than the other Axions in the cabinet though, so I was a bit worried Wiking had made a hash up of the terions scale like they did on the Deere 6930 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skunkworks Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I just noticed that Wiking didn't add the mudguards to the AXION Terra Trac.. Looks a bit naked without them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Has the Fendt 942 got the inflation system wheels (as modelled on the Britains 828)? I don't know why but it would put me off the model if it had them depicted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunkworks Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I meant the ones at the back.. See here... https://gramho.com/media/2172820469095215195 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are their standards dropping off? I'm sure Phil (Bluegreen) said the Fendt 1050 was a poor model too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Well the UH Quadtrac is clearly better put together looking at Chris Ws video...………...I will wait until I see a similar rigorous test of the new Fendt 942 before I buy one!! I liked the JD6250R but it did need a few mods to get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Joe, I asked in our local dealers and they said the demo one they have hasn’t got mudguards. Infact, he said if it’s so wet you need mudguards, you shouldn’t be on the land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
