Bill Walters Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I'm sure you've all seen the 1/32nd Precisions we have done to date. Where would you like us to go next? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hi Bill maybe some different brand tractors?? maybe some additional detailed implemtents?? I'm sure the others will have a better idea than me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Wouldn't mind a Magnum as they've never been done in 1:32. Failing that, a TG, TVT or TM-A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the other green Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Bill, could you give us an indication of what makes are off-limits? JD and FNH are in obviously, but what other makes are available to us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Bill, I currently have two precision models which I am very impressed with, a John Deere 9420 and a Case STX450 which has been modified into a quadtrac. I'm very impressed with both these models and will be buying more at some stage, one I would definately like to see is a proper version of the quadtrac which would utilise a lot of existing moulds and therefore would require minimal tooling, I would definately buy one and I'm pretty certain it would appeal to collectors on both sides of the pond! ? Here's a pic of my modified one; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 No show F.P Bill, as "the other green" says, could you list the brands that you feel would be possible contenders, obviously they have to appeal very much to the U.S. As for a general comment on the range of precisions, I think if you keep the quality and detail up enough, in Europe at least, many collectors will not ignore a stunning model because of its brand, but collect it due to impressiveness.If there could be a tractor that commonly(ish) exists in both the U.S and Europe, so much the better.

FB Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 i PM'd him as not to make it obvious....i think a numpty award should now be awarded! How about some better precision combines, enhance the JD STS a Little more with hydraulic pipes etc and add a header trailer?, just another quick thought!!

THEBRITFARMER Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Here's my 2 cents....for what it is worth. I was thinking along the lines of a MF 1200 NH TJ450 or 9880 (I know these are made already in 1/32) Not really up on my tractors, something along those lines... or perhaps a self propelled sprayer (preferably Case but JD would be okay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelfarms Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 How about something along the lines of Massey Ferguson, Challenger, Allis, White - all the same base and it would be appropriate both sides of the Atlantic. Getting tired of Green and Blue - sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 it would be nice to see a presision of the mf1200,or even the 1500 you have done recentlly bill,the 1200 would be better for the european market i would think.any fergy really please hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Nearly everyone, wants something different....glad I'm not in charge of a toy tractor company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 i know what you mean ihp,you can't please all of the people can you,would be nice to see a fergy of some kind,very few people make them now,it's a brand that seems to have gone missing with toy manufacturers,not really sure why as they do sell well in real life.

NCC Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 How about a Cat MT865 crawler?? I'm sure that would be a big hit here and across the pond or as FP says a Quadtrac would also be good or a Massey Ferguson 8480. Maybe a precision implement instead a Kinze drill or chaser bin Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 now thats a good idea ncc,a good presision implement like a seeder or a plough would be great,apart from uh no one makes implements of that quallity apart from conversion people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Money wise though, precision costs money, if you sell twice as many tractors as implements, you claim back the costs of the patterns twice as fast and there is an issue with the hitches on the Precision ranges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 as long as it's a fergy bill you can make any one of the range you like,ha ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 wheeled deere 9620 or 9630 by the time it is to be released and a Case quadtrac could be nice. I don't think the colour will be anything but red or green, right bill?? A precision combine would be very nice but I don't think it will happen, pity. Or how's about a precision 4920 sprayer, could be supplied in either sprayer or dry fertilizer forms. Or how about a precision cotton picker, that would be something different.

CCF Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 How about a Ford or a stx quatrac with real tracks like f.p's version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Anyone wanting a precision MF 1200 should get the one from Brian Norman, a stunning model worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Hollander Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I'd suggest a Ford 7810. These were really popular tractors at their time. The collectors that have funds to buy precision tractors have great memories about these tractors. A Silver Jubilee version would be something really special.

NewHolland2 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 A Ford 7810, now there's a decent suggestion if I ever heard one.? . Glad to see another New Holland fan on board.? (P.S. I'm not trying to start another tractor colour war? )) Cheers NewHolland2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
