hody21 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I find it odd how Britains don't offer a muckspreader, the NC rear discharge one was a super model and the dump trailer. Surly they could come back even in a different colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Hollander Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 29 minuten geleden, SPN zei: John Q 4020 someone on here said the 4020 was only good for its 2wd front axle. I'd prefer one with the Hiniker cab (to use it on a blue tractor), but that's probably too much to ask. If someone wants to part with one, feel free to offer.

catkom3 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 There's already a John Deere 4020 with a Hiniker cab, I used one to put on my Autodrome County 1454, https://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/topic/14307-autodrome-county-1454with-a-wee-twist/?tab=comments#comment-379031 Regards, Joe.

That's what I mean, but can't seem to find a 4020 with a cab. I was thinking of putting it on a Ford 7000 or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dump trailer does make a reappearance - but you've got to put up with a New Holland T6 if you want one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could do the NC dump trailer in all the colours too, perhaps there are Fleming products on the horizon seeing how the twin bale carrier has been rereleased as a Fleming item.

I wish they wouldn't leave gaps in the collection - they don't have a manure spreader now, or a seed drill, plough, grain trailers. If they are to discontinue items, would be good if they did so as they were replacing it in the range with an alterative. Instead they discontinue stuff and leave gaps and the obsolete prices get silly. Thought about looking for another Kverneland U drill - but your looking to pay at least £50 and I didn't think they were that popular.

weblet375 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 The tri axle trailer looks promising.could do some conversations with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was always an alternative in the past for everything and I think that's what made the Britain's range so brilliant growing up. Why they haven't got a plough in the range is mad they seem to run certain things for ever and a day. Then drop anything that's actually good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice model in my opinion Did Ertl re-issue the above tooling on general release in different livery? The old casting below was done in at least three colour schemes I think. Still a smart tractor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think that they did, but I could be wrong. yes the old casting there were three versions of, you are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I'd be interested to know the story with the E27N's. Are they built using the original 70 year old tooling? just with the axle area of the mould modified? Surely they either haven't kept hold of the moulds for all that time, or they weren't in good enough nick to use for a production run of 7500 items. Which would suggest they are new toolings... in which case why on earth make them so close to the original. Surely if you where making new tooling you'd go away and make a model that meets the same detail standards as the recent heritage range. To have an anniversary model and not demonstrate how the companies skills have moved on doesn't make much sense to me. Even if they kept the main casting and just put a new set of wheels and steering axle on it would be a significant improvement. Equally why not use the tooling for the plinthed 8715 version? Was this a diecast or a resin model? Either way it was a much more realistic representation than this new release. Maybe its just me, but if I wanted a heritage Britains item, I'd buy the vintage one, with actual heritage, not one that's just rolled of a production line thousands of miles away. Having said that I'll still be buying one or two of these releases because of the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
