ford man Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I voted for the valmet for two reasons - 1. I grew up with them around me in ireland when they where introduced in the mid 1990's. 2. I believed britains would re model the tractor to look more like the real thing. I am completely disappointed on what the company is doing now, releasing the tractor as well as the massey 6290 using old moulds which look completely out of place. Britain's have taken two steps back in their approach to business. This is a company who could conquer the toy/model market since the demise of siku in 1/32 scale. Have tomy the wrong people working their???? Do the company not listen to what the market wants?????? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Normally it would be possible to find the odd reason why Britains have done what they've done, utilising a popular casting, understanding there's a market beyond the UK buyer etc. but on this occasion it really does feel like they've made a huuuuuge mistake, I guess only time (and left over stock on shelves) will tell. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 The more I think about the Valmet, the more I think it was picked by Britains so they could spin a load off colour variations off it down the line and maybe hook some off us collecters to complete a line up. Valtras and Valmets were always the one brand that could be guaranteed all the colours off the rainbow and more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly for the Replicagri 8560 chassis but I suppose it can be put on a lengthened Ros chassis. Still wonder how the Valmet won. The brand wasn't that strong with the 8000 series yet.

Other than britains, the other mainstream manufacturers are French or German. Therefore I think some of them are probably fairly unlikely in favour of machines seen more in their home markets. But you never know! I do too find it crazy that the 6cyl 40 series has not been developed along with 6 cyl 6000 series Deere and why britains haven’t bothered with 4 cyl 40 and 50 series?

If the valtra and mf 6290 are just remakes of old casts ?? , had anyone seen a proper pic or actual model yet? , then they do seem to have lost their way big time , especially after the heritage stuff they did like the fords and jd,s 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hajo Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) As long as Britains makes "limited" runs of the Valtra and perhaps spin offs in other colours, I think they will do fine. For me as a Britains collector I never owned the Valmet 805 series with all colour variations, they are just a bit pricy for me. But getting my hands on a 8950 (that will retail for 30 euro?) in different colours will be much easier. And Valmet/Valtra is the only large tractor manufacturer that offers their real tractors in a wide variety of colours. I like that! We will just wait and see ....

phil phoenix Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 The trouble all model manufacturers are facing now, is the world is heading into a depression after the effects of the plandemic. We get very few new caste's now. but continual rehash's of tractors made over the last 10 or so years. Only Marge are turning over lots of decent new models, the rest are very patchy.

But the 6610 & 7610 were already done by Marge and UH.. Unless you mean Britains could have followed on with them as Gen 1 bubble cab versions from the previous 6600 and 7600. A few more implements too, but UH seem to be doing a few vintage implements lately.
