Tractorman810 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 nice but you would have thought they would go forward from the matador really, or is that next in the line, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MF 6265 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hmm. I hoped they would make more and more modern combines, with the Dominator, mega, medion and end opp with the Lexion and Tucano... But lets hope they make them eventually.. And maybe they build some vintage John Deere and Massey combines as well! That would be perfect!!! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 It would be nice if they were to do a Clayson combine from the mid 1960's, fond memories of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britainswomble Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Booooring... Oh come on UH... lets have something a little different next time please Like a 780 special for instance All I want more than anything would be an MF 500. I hope to buy a Matador, when or if I ever have any spare money. Second choice for a "Classic" combine would probably be a New Holland 133. If not perhaps a Claas Senator 70.

How does Manfred Weise get his stuff produced? Also Karen and her McCormicks. Seems a little strange as there would appear to be several examples of 'commissioned' models that have been produced. For example do they only produce commissioned models of existing castings or if OEM's requested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pretty strong opinion of UH and they way in which they operate now - but I don't think it would be right for me to voice it on here PDH... fair to say I have done one model with them... and I can't see me doing any more with them in the future \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
