Universal Hobbies new releases 2023


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

As just being found on the website of my "home'supplier" Poppema, UH will bring the IH 1056 XL also with wide fenders, as mostly seen on the mainland overhere.

Sorry, i'm completely wrong.....................

Manufacturer is (off course) Replicagri!

How do i skip this post??

I'm still a bit unsure on these   the rear wheels just look a little big    but I think the 8830 might come my way 

The problem with the UH TW is that the cab sits too low(and the bonnet too high). The line between the large and lower front windows should be level with the line just above the decal on the bonnet. Just unscrew the cab and put some washers between the cab and frame.

Popular in Holland though Callum, with they're sandy soil the wide tyres.

If I'm honest. The Q  cabs on the UH TWs ain't bad.  But they are terrible on the 10 Series.

So we are back here again, commenting on UH using the same mk1 cab and fenders off the old TW & sticking them on a 30 series in a new suit of clothes🙄

Just buy a Ford 7810 remove the cab & fenders and stick them on the 8830 after you have thrown the imposters in the bin!!!  Then paint the fenders black and "et voila" a pucker Ford 8830.

There should be no need to gut 2 tractors to make one. It should be right from the start. But I have no issue with these cabs. It's the 10 Series  Gen 1  5610, 6610 and 7610 cabs I have the issue with.

Yea that's what I thought as soon as I saw them   they look like they need to be hooked to a forage waggon or a big tanker     of I get one it's going on a waggon

885 would be nice too. I was speaking to my father over the break, and despite his memory not being as good as it once was, he was reminding me that he did design work (modifications for cost reduction) on the 885 and XL cab when he was at Harvester. Tbf what I'd really like is a real 885 with a loader, but that's not in the budget for this year! 😁

Universal Hobbies, should be in the UK by the end of January.  The RRP is going to be £60......though you should be able to get them cheaper, I would hope!

Great.  I will need to pay import duty on it.
