Both from brushwood, Massey 8s, a few at work around us, very stand out tractor whose looks have grown on me, and the UH Valta, couldn't decide which colour but luckily brushwoods stock levels decided that for me. Great detail on both models but build quality isn't 100%, stiff wheels in the Massey, will loosen the front hub screw's, and the Valtras rear wheels aren't concentric on the axle. I like the little slider tab under the rear links they've introduced for keeping heavier implements up though! The front wheels on my 8s are very stiff too James, it's a great model otherwise though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They appear to be the same rims and tyres on the front, and after all the Q and the 8S share the same chassis. I found myself driving behind an 8S earlier this week that I didnt know the farmer had bought one off, it was covered head to toe in sprayed on mud, really looked the part. And that neat horizontal flashing fender indicator (like on Audi cars) is really cool too😎 And look at this 8S.265 sitting in TNS yard on huge boots🤩 Been meaning to get one since we had this in the yard at my last work place. Brushwood had them on offer so was rude not too. Intend to build the full outfit when time allows. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Joe Dewar Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 The rears on the 8S look to be low profile, A bit like the Good Year Titan LSW's, ?? https://www.titan-intl.com/innovation/lsw-tires Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Those 67mm siku tyres wont fit onto the 8S paul, I tried a pair of a siku MF8680, they wont fit an 8740S either or a Wiking Fendt 942!!! Stupidly oversized. Try a pair of JD 6210Rs onto the Valtra rim Actually dont bother😄 the 6Rs are 65mm tyres and jam in the MF8S wheel arch.
