FB Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 saw one earlier and thought of you, think it was around ?16 in the local model shop....didnt buy it. Not my cuppa :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBRITFARMER Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Well here are my thoughts (for what they are worth) As most of you know I don't collect SIKU, but having a look at that and some of the Britains (the NH TN that was in another thread) I find it hard to see what is so great about SIKU, this particular one doesn't seem to have much detail and has SIKU stamped on the tires. Is it just because they are more durable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just because they are more durable yeah more durable but i think this model has been around a few years so will look a little old and lack detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'm Britains through and through, but this is a cracking model!! I couldn't wait for the UH one to come out, but it would not be as strong as this. This is much better for MGU carpet farming. Not as a collectors model. I also think it is very good value for money.

BGU Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 Can't remember if we have covered this before, but why have a rotating cab? Is it a gimmick or really useful? I presume it rotates whilst the driver is in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I like this model, it could do with a bit more detail though in my opinion, from a kids oipinion though it is pretty much bullet proof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGU Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Thanks F-P. MGU had friends around today and the Xerion was given a serious test, came through with flying colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I dismantled one a while ago with a view to making a 3300 and it took some messing about to get it apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just because they are more durable As Ben said this is a slightly earlier Siku model so has less detail than some of the ones being released now......For instance the older Siku models I have such as the older Deutz-Fahr Agrotron and Renault Ceres are far less detailed than the John Deere 6920S but are pretty durable apart from a slightly bendable plastic detachable cab...... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
