I imagine they will include one as they did with the other JDs they've done...always wondered why the Valtras didn't have them though.

phil phoenix Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 The Claas Arion picture looks like the old model with a fat exhaust added, it still has the old bonnet vents, the new ones are much nicer. I guess its just a prototype image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo must be just a prototype, So maybe the 8R is as well, There's a short video on Facebook which I can't share, but here are a couple of screenshots of the new Arion which does seem to have the new grill slot's AND flashing beacon's, ?? It also say's working headlamp design, But I think that means the two lights near the top of the windscreen and limited to 1000 Regards Joe.

phil phoenix Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Looks like theyve stuck a new silver exhaust on the old model and painted the tractor in metallic green, same wheels too. Its a bit dissapointing because the new vent design is really nice, but Wiking have chosen to ignore it for some reason? Or maybe it is just a prototype, lets hope so. Personally I would save my money for the new 870 model as that really does look good. The new Wiking JD8R is going to be very good if the base Siku model is anything to go by.

CX820Joe Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 That's a shame if it's got the bonnet off the previous incarnation, and just the plastic bits have been updated. Was thinking of getting one but will leave it if its not right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0025 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Found a pre production picture of the 8R on fb tonight. Looks a good model with removable wheels and opening bonnet. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Yes looks like a pretty good model. maybe good news as well that Deere are letting Wiking and Ertl produce the same models. So hopefully their will be a Wiking Deere X9 on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 A bit annoying really having bought the Siku 8R version and donor parts literally a week before the Wiking 8R announcement. However given all the travail in our world presently theres no guarantee these Wiking models will be here in December or January. I was expecting Wiking would release a 6.185 tractor and a X9 combine and not an 8R, but im delighted they have. Must admit I didnt like the look of it when it first appeared in the farming press but now we have a few working locally they are much better looking than I thought. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Yep, it really looks superb except for one glich, they forgot to paint the large door hinges black! You can clearly see it on that picture. And yet they have painted the ones on the cheaper Siku 370 version. Another Wiking JD blunder🙄.............Hopefully they have realised this and thats the reason for the delay in despatching them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
