Tractorman810 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 just came across this in a dealers i was going past, had to stop and there she was, 10 quid inc vat which seemed cheap so i bought it over all nice model, very well built with only mimial plastic parts, rotors and rear door, ,good paint finish very heavy being all meatl in the main part, only 2 let downs, 1 the wheels, look like the cast offs from one of the old case models, and deff dont look right, wrong hub style but correct size nice and chunky but not like the ones i have seen arround, second rear door, basicly loose no rams to it so it just flops arround, deff not goo for carpet farming kiddys will fall oveer at the slightest move forwards, given previuos siku toys they can do small rams (siku plough) so why not on this simple but key feature, overall 7/10 from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I'm in agreement with you there TM, plenty of detail on the rear end which is spoilt by the lack of anything to hold up the door and show it off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 such a basic thing really mate, and the wheel, all the ones i have seen have soild style hubs like the schuter they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Yeah, the wheels are big let down but I'm sure that one can be overcome. Cheapest I've seen were at minitoys.fr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrium Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I rekon a set of my west dual spreader wheels would look the biz - only trouble the price I pay for them will kill the chances of a convo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I like it!! The detail on the rear end is brilliant. ... UH have a part to play in this .. . Think back to the Bergmaan spreader. .. .. no spreading disc's. . .. . along come UH revoloutionising detail/affordability and here are Siku making up for past balls ups!!! Looks great and I will be buying one aswell, maybe two if I ever see'em for a tenner. The rear wheels will be hacked off for a new set though!!

Tractorman810 Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 I rekon a set of my west dual spreader wheels would look the biz - only trouble the price I pay for them will kill the chances of a convo to be honest i recon a disc of plasti card cut to the hub size and a proper axel hub stuck in the middel, then glue that over the current wheel centers and your done, with a bit of silver paint, the wheels are the right size,just the wrong hub design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 What should they look like?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 all the ones i have seen have flat hubs fitted like the siku schlters or at a push the siku jd rear on the 6920's with a hub axel bit in the muiddel, no holes round the edges that i have seen like these imply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I think you'll find it is this spreader: I can't beieve they didnt fit a sliding main door. It is a brilliant spreader in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi6920 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 There is one other impotant detailmissing... The fact that the beaters dont move when its driven Im sure the britiains one does ( could be wrong there) the old siku one does... Would it realy be that hard for siku to make it belt driven or somting like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I always remove the drive for the beaters anyway. I think it looks crap and you dont want them turning when your on the 'road'. Never mind atleast this model will be nice with some bigger wheels and also a few additions, pto, pipes, electrics etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 They should have made the discs and stuff move rather than have the door opening. It isn't often you see them with the door open anyway, only for servicing and getting the youngest on the crew to unblock it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
