phil phoenix Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 What are the costs involved of buying from Tractorium these days? Can we still buy from them? Last time I tried they said sorry not dealing with Uk. That was a 18 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete132 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Would John Deere dealers in uk not stock them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Probably they would, but I was interested in other german makes that Tractorium will certainly get first before UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete132 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Ah yes. That’s annoying, I know buying into Ireland from uk is awkward ever since 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I purchase quiet alot from Tractorium.. Never had a problem with them. To be fair.. They have good offers and discounts on lots of various models most of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Some to keep me happy, listed as being available from the end of November. Same Buffalo 130, two versions, both with and without a cab. Lamborghini 1256 DT. I have no doubt that these are copies of the Artisan 32 kits that came out several years ago as Schuco seem to be incapable of independent thought and just produce copies that others have done before them but I am probably going to have to get them. https://www.toys-planet.it/it/modellismo-agricolo-132/schuco?fbclid=IwAR0AP65m7JobrjmFEsH88biVWh19HpeFnsdUUbbqD92ICiM6T9bMq7U_x-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 What about Farm models NL, I buy decals from them occasionally but the postage is horrendous! However if I bought a model at the same time as decals would that work out better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch out for special offers. If there's a model on my watch list going for below RRP that covers the postage I will usually buy a couple more models to make use of the "free" postage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a very good model, well detailed and seems to be as per the real deal! Good weight in it too for schuco model. I’m very happy with it. I do have a few issues which I think schuco cheaped out on. No opening door or rear window which I feel should definitely have been on the model and the door handrail is moulded into the glass rather than fixed to the glass!! From memory I think the 7810 models are attached rather than moulded into the glass - I haven’t got my 78’s to hand so cannot be certain. The model has a good set of tyres which I feel match the period of tractor. I do like that schuco have given you the option of changing the front links over to the attached weight block however to remove the front links, the screw for the linkage is hidden in behind the front wheels which means chassis off to get at it. Not a big problem but could be easier. All in all I recommend this model and I’m very happy to have it in my collection. A great addition to a tillage set up! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike whiting Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Thanks @Pete132 just deciding on the best purchasing route for one. I have the JD 4650 with (Profi edition with duals) and its a fantastic model. I also have the 4955 with the bonnet mounted exhaust although it needs some wider tyres. I know Farmmodels.nl do some but I wondered if anyone knew of anyone else a bit closer and cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) That looks good Pete, personally I would swap wheels over from the 7810 and then you get the chunky R38s on the 8400 and the R42 rims on the 7810. Front rims look similar to 7810s so probably leave them on. In these parts 8 series Deeres tended to be shod on 650/85/ R38s and the 7 series on 650/65/R42s. Mind you those rears look more like 710s.
