CX820Joe Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I’ve had this today, a Marge New Holland T8.435. I would have liked to have got the older one in standard colours - which I won off eBay but it turned up as a Blue Power due to a mix up. But this. Is very nice all the same 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marge weight does fit, nd it looks well, but the links won't stay up with the weight. The top link also probably needs tweaking as it isn't stable and pops off with the slightest movement.

Sent mine back Stan, front links were really loose and im not messing about glueing or tightening screws, if replacement is the same then i will not be getting another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Seems everybody on here that has bought the T7.300 has weak front links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Yep, I took the link arms off put a blob of glue in the screw hole, let it harden, re drilled the hole and then put the arms back on. Also put glue on the two silver rams and let that harden before pushing the arms up. The glue acts as packing. They all work fine now. I'm getting a blue power version this week so be interesting to see if that fares any better. Its a fiddly job and of course we shouldn't have to do it, but it is what it is and it wasn't that difficult to do. For the most part they are a really nice model and much cheaper than a Wiking Fendt 728 or JD 6R. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Blue Power T7.300 has arrived. Very nice like the standard version - but they need to stop using Geoff Capes to tighten the screws - as with the last model I could not unscrew the tractor from the plinth and had to saw it in three this time to release it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I found all my T7.225s were very hard to unscrew from the plinth. It's like the robot was torqued incorrectly on that production line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Hi Paul, The arms move up and down as long as you allow the super glue to harden 12 hours perhaps. Obviously if your too hasty to refit things onto soft glue it wont end well😁 Looking forward to receiving my blue power, should be here tomorrow or weds. Got plans for that one.

Paul Palmer Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) Ok 2nd one of these,first one went back as front links were useless, wouldnt hold anything up,1 beacon rattling in the box but a dab of glue should put that right, going to look at it later and see if the links do hold anything up and if it comes off the plinth ok Edited March 7 by Paul Palmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Well it came off the plinth ok, front links are stiffer on this one but i dont think it will hold up the marge front weight i have coming🤦♂️ but apart from the front links and a little bit of black paint needed on the rear hubs its a stunning model 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Got my Blue Power yesterday as well, stunning model. Front links better than on the standard blue but certainly wouldn't hold up Marge front weight, and for that matter neither did my marge T7.315's😄 I'm to busy with my barn project to play around getting the tractors looking how I want them presently but I will be addressing the very poor steering lock, by comparison the UH MF8S is superb in that department. I notice as well that the new T7.300 blue power is a much nicer more vibrant shade of met. blue than my older slighty dull blue power T7.225 which I bought 6 years ago. The paint jobs in general on recent UH buys seems of improved quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apart from that as you say and me a stunning model, could this be put on a 23 reg plate Phil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
