pj witch Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 looks nice enough but is the hitch ANY GOOD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 I have too say I was very impressed its as good as PUMA version and they have got the supersteer right yes I was surprised too the front axle turns and the wheels are on pivots and turn as well just like real thing Its a considerable improvement on last years T8040 S/S axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 As for the hitch \ too be honest I see no problem!!! A 210hp tractor on my fleet will be pulling a NH baler, pulling an Amazone spreader, pulling a Horsch drill, pulling a Marston trailer, Pulling a Simba Solo, pulling a Hardi sprayer, pulling a 5gang set of rolls!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and in the new year it will probably pull a semi mounted 7F Kverneland plough Now im sorry to p*ss off a few people and I know the britains hitch isnt in the same league as Siku JD7530 but as you can see from my above list its good enough to pull all that lot without to many problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 All in all another encouraging step forwards for Britains lets hope the finished versions of the Quadtrac & JD9530 are more reasons for congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 does look good i must say ,lots of decent detail on it ,and seems well built to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Its a quantum leap forward from my existing TSA135 model!!! and I thought that was good when it first came out Im very impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 The thing is, the TS135A and MXU125 were good when they came out, considering Britains' poor offerings immediately prior to them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpinefocus Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 britains have added a fair bit detail to that model, not much converting needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNHIR Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 He didn't say it was better, just that he had no problems with it as it would only be pulling things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 He didn't say it was better, just that he had no problems with it as it would only be pulling things! i know ;), i just want to know if he has any info on it holding things up, maybe a slight improvement \ \ \.....its been a long friday!

FNHIR Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I have to say I'd be highly surprised if it was better, looks exactly the same as the one we've had to put up with for the last four years. God be with the days of the hitch with the lever at the left hand side, they would have held up anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
