Cornish-model-farm Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 UH squeezing the last drop profit out of the MF 65 moulds I see. This is a French Mk II model. Whereas in Britain we had the Mk I from very late 1957 to mid-1960, the first French Mk I was introduced in the latter half of 1960 and was the same as our British Mk II. When Multi-Power later became an option on the 65, the French designated those tractors Mk II. As I have said elsewhere on this forum, the UH MF 65 models are absolute rubbish. They can't even get the bonnet shape right. Corgi Toys managed to get that right back in the 1960s, so no excuse whatsoever. The Scaledown MF 65 models remain my firm favourites - all credit to Nigel Ford.👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 It must have been on Facebook I saw a photo of the UH poster announcing the T7.300, as I can’t see it tracking back through this thread. But I was fairly sure it had a September release date on it - getting a bit late now though. I am guessing it won’t appear this year now though.

Tractorman810 Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 Pre cleaners way to big bowl wise and still got that bloody exhaust on the wrong side . As for the arch extensions , that must be a euro thing as i have never seen a uk plated 2000 series with those extensions fitted , only on the later big 3600’s 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) If anyone bought the 2680 with the short fishbowl air cleaner on the bonnet you could swap the PAVT wheels off the 2685 onto it and then rebadge it 2720. And reposition the exhaust of course🙄 The only time I ever saw PAVT wheels on a 2680/5 was when one of the local farms took them off a 2725 which was being run on "carlos fandango" super wide tyres for fertilizer spreading and stuck them on a 2680 for ploughing. I still say that those MF PAVT wheels front and back were the best looking on any tractor in the 80s & 90s, especially on the 3650/55s😍 Edited October 24, 2023 by phil phoenix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
