Think my ones are destined for a 7310r It’s rather disappointing the hitches are so poor on all Britain’s tractors. After all they are designed as children’s toys. I’m still amazed at how poor they are for pulling a trailer. The hitch hits the drawbar and lowers itself and then the trailer falls off every time you try to turn. I’m struggling to justify buying Britain’s for my son if they are going to be poor to play with. The siku front and rear hitch was and still is the best design going for strength and function. I think it’s time britains borrowed the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when I was young if I had a tractor with a duff hitch it didn’t see much use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I think if I got those mowers I'd try them on a siku 6210r as their tractors seem a bit tougher. I got a Britain's Valtra with them in mind but it felt too lightweight. Sold it now. I guess there is every possibility the rear mowers won't attach to the Siku linkage too though.

The rear mowers might attach Joe as the siku and britains rear links are similiar but not 100% sure, the mowers are well balanced on the valtra though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I really like the David Brown version I bought recently. The red version looks lovely too, but I am possibly going to get the 2wd version of the David Brown next- lots of memories of these when I was younger. What are the wheels like on these 2wd versions? Some of the 2wd UH models I've had in the past have had very wobbly front wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the 2wd UH models I've had in the past have had very wobbly front wheels. Slightly fragile but I am not too bothered about that as they only sit in a cabinet. I would post some pics but, I have packed them away pending an up and coming house move, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
