Lady Ferguson Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 PS... Marky darling... your pics are the bee's knees (note non-rudey words used).... they really are stunning * * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I think that if the doors were to open and cab come off as on the real one this model would be a fair bit more money, a compromise has to be made somewhere. I have been told that the 135 QD is virtually now sold out as there were not a great number in the first place, some of the MF dealerships were only allocated small numbers. Orders for new supplies have been put in but a date as yet can't be given for delivery so if you have not purchased yours yet now's the time or you may have to wait a while. Depending on how many more will be produced, the next batch could be dearer. The non-cabbed 135 having round mudguards represents the first production model which the model is based on. The real one is in the MF museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The round top mudgaurd version may represent a tractor in the MF museum, but it certainly isn't the first production model. 1/ no swept back front axle with track rods 2/ wrong style seat 3/ wrong style mudguards this model is of a much later production or a tractor that has been updated in later life.

Lord Ferguson Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 Thanks for the comments lads ... and lady Timmy... you are most welcome to use these pics for TTT mate... be my guest Tim... There were only 1200 pieces of the 135 QD made in the dealer box... never to be repeated I am told... the next "wave" of mass production models won't arrive until "well after the new year" was the quote I had... As for the 135 cabless... it's a c0ck up from start to finish... that model was indeed in the museum in Banner Lane... but as Sean pointed out (and Steve Harris found out through researching Agco's site)... it was part of the 10+ parts program Massey have... it was "bought back" from a farm in Devon (I think it was Devon)... and the tractor was renovated using parts from the 10+ system - the best thing that could have happened with that model is to put it in a 10+ parts box... Such a shame as well.... there are so many things "wrong" with this model if you are looking for a representaton of a true "production line" tractor - if however you are looking for a model of A (singluar) real tractor... then you can be pleased it's bang on All I can say on the subject is... they were warned about this well before it was too late to change things \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 not sure why they didnt call it the 10 plus fergy 135, would have made more sence at the end of the day, they must have known something of its background and researched the 135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see what UH have done with the 135QD , then it's a real shame they didn't pick a production cabless model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I've just had 4 of the non-cabbed 135's delivered, in regular boxes. Boxes are the same graphics as the Major and T20 but with the 135 on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the non-cabbed is available now in regular flavour Tim... but the QD cabbed version won't be for sometime to come I was told that 1200 pieces were sold in dealer boxes... and would not be repeated again \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 i think i might invest in the cabbless version , but i'll not get the QD version , would have made more sence to have done a flexi-cab , they were by far the more common , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
