The T7.300 should really have wheel weights to make it realistic. Like the T7060, from which it is derived, it has too much power for its weight (hence why the heavier T7 HD range was created)

But the HD T7s were created before these. The T7. 270 was the biggest in this size until this 300 was introduced recently. The HD T7s are the 315...

Britains have just put a lumpy price rise through!  Stock in hand shouldn't change, but the increases will filter through soon enough!

When the little carpet farmer enters the toy shop with mammy or daddy and wants a tractor. The parent will now push a Burago or New Ray for a purchase . That's the way it will go. Ive seen it happen.. Everything is going up and we need to accept it. Its happening with everything. But if its a lumpy price as you stated.. Then Britains could suffer in the long run on sales.

Agree, sign of the times.  Good example is the Kane silage trailer, gone up just over 20%!  To be fair it varies model to model, but at RRP to buy a small tractor and grain trailer would cost the carpet farmer around £50, just seems too much to me.  Some folks would have to work over 3 hours for that!  So the shift may come if it's anyone other than those with plenty of disposable income!

And the Bruder toys will now become even more attractive in terms off value for money over the Britains for kids. Bigger is better in a childs eyes when most shops will stock both brands side by side.

I'd argue Britians haven't had the 'buy a cheap toy tractor market' for ten years plus now. If you go to the agricultural shows the only kids buying Britians etc are those with specific interest in a tractor brand, most likely from a farming background. The general parent with a young child that likes tractors because they've seen one on the telly have been buying the £6.99-£9.99 plastic tat Teamster tractor trailer sets that don't really represent any particular brand or scale. Britains may be the first to break but most companies will be announcing the same thing in the coming months.
