Fenside MF Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I quite like these,but does anyone think you could swap the rear linkage arms to proper 3 point ones? as I see artisan 32 sells the 3 point arms separate in different lengths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 Well the first one arrived a day or two ago. I must admit I don't unpack many of my tractors, but this one I did. The first thing that happened when trying to get the band holding the doors and mirrors in was that a mirror pinged off! Can I get it back on..... Anyway a few photos to for those interested and to spot the difference between this and the shelf version. Another thing I will say is that Schuco models don't have much metal in them and are as a result very fragile! I confirmed this after one of the hand rails came adrift!!

alf aphid Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 So what is the difference then, I must confess I bought one but my original is packed away! Pretty ridiculous purchase really but I love it, presume the gearstick is different? “De-german’d” mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 I don't know as I don't have the original.... I will get around to anglicising one of mine too as they look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 so far i can see a cool box and the cb aerial that isn't on the standard one ,prob number plate was different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The difference is the original was made 2 to 3 years ago & the limited edition was made last month .!! ..ohh..and it had a different box ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as long as I haven’t been hoodwinked into wasting my money on something I already have then that’s all good ! salesman's dream!

Besides I think that aerial really sets it off I must admit Alastair, I'm struggling to see any differences between them, here's a picture of one of my original ones that i got a few years ago now....complete with said aerial Look at it this way, it'll probably always be worth more than you paid for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Before the realise of the limited edition..there was a few originals that popped up on EBay a few months back and were sold for €300+ I think... now the guys that bought them must be kicking themselfs !!

alf aphid Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I know I’m going of topic here, but it does surprise me that schuco don’t milk these things more, why not do all the different versions. I’m also staggered tha due to to the surely massive success of these, why have they not produced the 6 cyl 6000 series when half the tooling costs have already been born in axles, wheels and cabs etc....weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 What amazes me is that they are on sale for an array of prices! I got mine around the £75 mark John Deere themselves have it at Euro 81, but some EU based sellers have them at around the Euro 110 level, but UK based sellers are trying to knock them out above £120!!

Tractorman810 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 theres been rumours of a 6*10 for a while now ,i know one was measured up, and intrest sounded out, as my uncle was asked via the stores guy if he wanted some, due to me buying through him, i am tight and like a discount after-all , i am guessing it may have been in their yard given he seemed to know all about it, sure they look at more than one mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I noticed it’s climbing in price, I too paid £75 which I thought was a bit steep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
