New Hollander Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 (edited) Where VKA Models chose the more rare 5095/7400 and 8600/9600 models and the more flimsy resin, with starting prices of € 180 (now € 145 on the 8600/9600, not sold out yet), the Ford 4000/4600/4610 was more of a "bread and butter" tractor on many farms and so a lot of guys have learned to drive tractor on them. So i guess there would be quite a market for them, which would justify relatively higher production numbers and lower prices. Although I could justify € 180 to myself for an exclusive and rare model I have never paid that much. A bit lower prices, let's say € 125, still a hefty price imo, with more blue under development, would tempt me to buy more versions. At € 125 I could accept minor mistakes, at € 180 not. And I don't want tractors in a plastic cage. Each model should have some equipment attached to it.

robbo Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I did manage to have a chat with Hans from Minitrac today and he confirmed that there will be 13 derivatives of the Ford 4000 from the pre-force version to the 4610 with a Q cab. At the moment they are expected in April 2025 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Apparently between 1000 - 2000 per version. Costing 100 -200 euros. All to be launched at the same time, made of die-cast. A small saving if you buy a set of all versions. Help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) The Ford 4000 Fieco cabbed version is more special to me than the 5000 simply because as a 7 year old waiting for my school bus to arrive each morning I would often watch the local farmers fleet of three Ford 4000's go off to work, plus his Ford 7000 of course, happy days that left a lasting impression on me.
