NewHolland2 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Just wondering if anyone ever bought the Siku John Deere 3300/3400 tractors. I think they were only sold in sets but not sure. Does anyone have any pics of them and were they just a John Deere painted Renault Ceres? I know they were made by Renault in real life.

NCC Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I have the 3400 set which comes with the old open top cattle trailer and irrigator which are both painted in JD colours and comes in a JD Box, I paid ?35.00 of ebay for mine. All the models are mint just the box is a little tattie. To my knowledge they where just a repainted Renault Ceres maybe with just a few JD extras. I have never seen a JD one only Renault's though thank god Let me know if you need some more pics as these aren't great Nath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 Thanks for that Nathan. It's a nice looking set, If possible a couple more pics of the tractor would be great, but only if it's not a problem. I'm the opposite, have never seen a Renault Ceres but a John Deere 3*00 works about 12 miles up the road on spraying and irrigating duties. Never got a pic though? :'(. Does the model have a glazed cab? Thanks Again Cheers NewHolland2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 It doesn't have a glazed cab, it's built exactly the same as the Ceres 95x, nothing to get excited about really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 That's what I thought Powerstar. Don't know how common they are though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 don't think they were great sellers ,although picked up spuds from a farm in devon once & they had 4 of them for the seasonal drivers to use. other than that only seen a few here & there but in devon mostly still trying to get a pic of the JD badged & coloured ZETORS that were produced.

NewHolland2 Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 Thanks for those pics mjb1. A local farmer here has one that he uses for various jobs on his moxed farm, I'll have to try and get some pics one day. Didn't know John Deere produced any green Zetors. If you're ever selling the John Deere, you know where I am...... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Double posts mjb, tut tut, trying to raise the post count. Should be an offence! They were as successfull in model as they were in real life - Not very ?\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Double posts mjb, tut tut, trying to raise the post count. Should be an offence! job to get one post with pics let alone two but have deleted the other Didn't know John Deere produced any green Zetors. JD went into a marketing agreement so that zetor could get a foot into a countrys machinery market dont know the country or for how long the agreement was for, might of been the other way round but there was a pic in the farmers weekly years ago If you're ever selling the John Deere, you know where I am...... :D only got the one & don't know how long the production run was ,sorry not for sale mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 The 3400 came with the green/yellow twin axle grain trailer. Bit basic in comparison with todays offerings, but something a bit different, ok it's still green! G&M have the two sets listed for sale. Not sure but I thought there was a 3200 also? Anybody have any info? In real life I've seen a few around, only ever on livestock or Veg duties though. I read somewhere that in Holland buyers would look at them and then buy a real Deere but sales in Germany and France weren't bad. John Deere didn't produce green Zetors, it was Zetor that produced Green Zetors badged John Deere Not sure which countries they were sold in, seen one in Chec Republic.

NewHolland2 Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 only got the one & don't know how long the production run was ,sorry not for sale mate That's alright mjb1. Dinnae hae the money the noo onyway. Have to keep saving for the Ford 3600. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I have a photo somewhere, but it so blurred you can just see the colour of the tractor but I have found these at machinefinder, looks like they were sold in Eastern Europe, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, South africa and some other countries of similar stature. I think it was Deere that wanted a cheap tractor to sell in countries where their existing tractors were too expensive for the locals to buy (and the locals to thick to understand they were buying a Zetor and not a Deere) oh marketing is everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hehehe. Funny looking cheap John Deere's that break down even more than the normal ones.? ;). The last pic looks ok to me though as I quite like the original Zetor model it was based on.? ;) Thanks for those pics Eurodeere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
