ihatepoundland Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I've just recieved the MF combine, whilst I'll admitt it looks a really good model, there are a few problems with quality of the finish, such as the Pto shaft and couplings on the header being fairly poorly painted and a few other minor paint marks...to be honest not what I'd expected of UH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihatepoundland Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Oh well, a friday special then, will just have to live with it, sold as "New condition. Mint in mint Box." but from the sellers perspective it was unopened and new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihatepoundland Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Yeah, that sounds like double bad luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 i guess thats a prob if they are hand finished,but when you look at all the detail its hard to get every one perfect every time though,mines ok it has to be said,just wish the header came of,but ,once i have a bit of dosh it will on the second one i get, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBRITFARMER Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 The fact that they are hand finished makes it even worse in my opinion, that means each one is being looked at and they still let it go through. Unlike an automated assembly line when they pull a sample off for inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Well sounds like I've got the exception rather than the rule but I will have to buy more UH to check the quality further to make sure this doesn't happen again and maybe ebay this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
