SPN Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 If you put any 1960s/70s trailer on a modern tractor it will sit wrong because the hitching point is so much higher now I'm guessing they put it on a 6x 5000 (38" wheels) and panicked. Moreso if they put it on a modern tractor It's a feature, not a bug. I remember the time we replaced an 895XL (34") with a CS94 (38") and all the trailers looked wrong behind it.

844john Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I don't think that is necessarily the case to be honest Stan, as I've said before, we still have a couple of old weeks trailers that we mainly use for storing feed and they both sit more or less level on all of our tractors, even the Deere with 38" rims on the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 All depends too on if it's hitched to the pick up hitch or the swinging drawbar. We always hitched our KP trailers (witch very similar to the Weeks ) with the pick up hitch on both our 4000 & 4600 on 36 " rears ..and the sat very level.

Tractorman810 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 i get they want it to fit all the range, but that also shows a lack of understanding of the real machine they are making , those types of trailers would have been on a lot smaller tractors than uh produce ,their vintage stuff, or small modern stuff , to us the ford 5000 and the old mfs they have done ,stuff like that, its pretty rare to see a fendt 820 or mf7618 running around with a tiny 3 ton trailer on it. they got it right on the old grey mf and recent red mf trailers, which are spot on , so why did this go wrong ?

mike whiting Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Has anyone managed to confirm the paint RAL code? With those details a re-fabrication of the chassis from the floor base section forward should be possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Wonder if they push the tooling even further and add the silage sides.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 If a Mf 200 version of both doesn't appear uh have lost their way, , tow hitch is wrong but i could but two, one to sort the hitch the other one to keep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/32 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I’m anxiously awaiting the release of the 2188. We still have a lot of these machines in my part of the world so I’m excited to add a representation of one to my collection. I would have preferred a late model 2388 but this is close enough.

bluegreen Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Knowing UH I don't suppose you will have to wait very long for a 2388 to be offered as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1970s Lee 8 tonner (originally designed for Ford 5000s/DB1210s/IH 784s/Etc) looked completely wrong with the much higher hitching point. (On a seperate note, the TS-A was only a couple of days old and the pu hitch was stiff. It didn't lock properly when hitched to the Lee so when the first load was tipped it popped out and cleaned out the bank of spool valves as it went skywards. Thankfully it didn't smash the back window) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I'm very tempted ..Perfect to pair with the Taarup single chop, but the drawbar is still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 how long till the mf 200 versions come out i wonder, got to be by the end of the year surely ,i very much doubt we will get the drawbar sorted now, they are way to far down the production line now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 having followed this topic about the weeks drawbar is/would it be any better removing and shortening the stand? or what about a bit of heat and gently bending the drawbar down?obviously it means damaging the paintwork,we used to have/use weeks trailers years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorman314 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I have just purchased the weeks trailer, my first UH model ever as my collection is britains only, but when it arrived i was disappointed that the lower section of the stand was missing, so i was just wondering if anyone else has have this problem. I checked right through the box but nowhere to be seen. tractorman314. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
