SIMON. Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Got a UH massey 35x for christmas yesterday just thought i'd let you know what a cheap and nasty model it is ; steering only works one way tool box on the real model is not mounted on the steering linkage arm and its so light i got to hold it down with a paper weight i unwapped it yesterday and didn't think it was inside the box also they was a bit of paint hanging from one of the front lights i was going to buy the fordson and the te20 but i don't think i will bother .Those of you that compare them to ertl precision think you need to look again .

MODELFARMER Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Simon I can agree with u on some of that, But UH is more plastic than Precision series but is cheaper as for weight, thats minor, means the shelf will hold more of them :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Not that i like 1/16 but if i collected it UH would be at the top of my list for 1.Very good detail allmost unbeliveable 2.Exellent value for money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenryk Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Despite not collecting 1/16 I bought the Fergie and Fordson (for sentimental reasons) and am very pleased with them. Maybe the massey was a Friday model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON. Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 I'm only saying what i see found something else wrong with it today as well the right hand light has not been painted fully and you can still see some white undercoat/laquer tried to take some pictures but haven't come out very well .I'm not a moaner but i have brought around twenty + ertl precision and can't fault one of them on anything.Now the detail on the ford 5000 that's unbeliveable one cost ?105 one cost ?42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I think you have hit the nail on the head Simon... you get what you pay for I guess... UH are cheap models.. with great detail... But they are not that well put together.... or made of the "finest" materials either... Is it not you expecations that are too high with your extensive collection of Ertl precision models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Simon - I'll give you ?10:00 for it. (plus the cost of postage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Simon - I'll give you ?10:00 for it. (plus the cost of postage) Would be right up your street now BGU - now you are in love with the old reds * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allis8550 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I have this model and I think for the money you'll not beat it. Incidently the real MF 35's left the factory with the toolboxes mounted on the radius arm ,as on the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidently the real MF 35's left the factory with the toolboxes mounted on the radius arm ,as on the model. This is true I have to say.... the 35x from UH was modelled around a real model in Massey Ferguson's museum at Banner Lane... If you REALLY wanted to pick fault with this model the rear wheels are not what were used in the UK... it appears the real tractor they measured was an "export model" with all the "toys" on it... if you look even closer still you will see the sticker on the dash is not in ENglish either \ I'm too much of a tight git to pay full price though! :D Tight sod :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought for my Dad's birthday and was amazed by the detail on it, however these are display like the ertls rather than play, so does it really what they are made of, if it still looks realistic? Plus you paying a fraction of the cost of that of an ertl presicion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON. Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 What's the ?10.00 BGU the massey or the ford ;D i think i've found a place in my house for the 35x in the front room but it does get a bit hot inside that woodburner . :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIMON. Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 Now i haven't said i dislike the model far from it just the finishing is not to a very high standard when there so close why not make it a ?50 model and have it top class. Like ricky says the weight doesn't matter think it was just a shock a frist but if the detail there it doesn't matter really all i think is if they added say ten pound to the final total it would be a fantansic model .Also marky maybe right me comparing them to the precisions but if you brought a new car you'd compare it to your old one .
