bluegreen Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I like the new Fendt 816 model Joe, but never did see one working when they were around. However one local(ish) farm had both a 514 and original 818 (circa 1993 "L" reg) and that was a big tractor back then. I will wait for the inevitable Weise "cashing in" on the models tooling and when they stick an 818 decal on the model probably by xmas Im weighing up buying an 828 and improving it as they are a lot of model for a very reasonable price (£50) currently. Mind you I wish they had upgraded them into the much nicer "Nature Green" livery, I would have bought one of them straight away if they had done that.

Is the box marked up in any way, other decals to rear of trailer? I used to do the chopped down ones way back , sold loads as well , but never got asked to do a griffiths one, plenty of richard westons down and standard colour marstons mind , still got a grain one in the loft but never kept a silage one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 828 is really nice Phil, I prefer the original one, but the later one is still good. Only slight gripe is that there are no magnetic hubs for the rear wheels. I never saw any around Shropshire when I was growing up, though they are quite common nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ROS models only bad feature is very poor tyre detail, I replaced my 720s tyres and the model looks very good now. Mind you ROS are about to release a row crop version of their designline 724 model and it looks spot on!!!! Thankyou Jos at T Toys Nazereth for pics.

Paul Palmer Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 have to agree with bluegreen Joe,it has to be the ros version,as bluegreen said only thing wrong with the ros version is its awful tyres,far far better than the uh version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I've decided I'll put it on ebay when things get more normal, I see what you both mean, it just doesnt look right, plus it's place will be taken by a 514c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L33 DA17ON Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 That's 5he other one I was thinking of. They did a milk lorry in a light coloured blue as well that's the one I had as a child. Looking at that it looks like there all the same just colours and decals are different. Thanks for posting. Think I'll look out for a cheap one on Ebay.
