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.

ChrisF Posted 48 minutes ago Share Posted 48 minutes 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
