Barry Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 On the Toptractor website, Geoff has some news about the next models he is producing. Totally new casting for a New Holland/Fiat group tractor! Fiat F140 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Quote
Barry Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 What was tractor no 1? The orange Valtra T http://www.toptractor.org.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=676&Itemid=26 Quote
FNHIR Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Cheers. I agree that an F140 would be very nice! Quote
noel Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 a Fiat 110-90 would be PERFECT!!! Though im happy with ANY Fiat!!! Good Man Geoff!!! Quote
NewHolland2 Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 A Fiat........Sounds good to me........An F115 would be good........ Quote
Tractorman810 Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 ah so thats prob what he was measuring when he said he was away for a tractor measure, Quote
bluegreen Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Nevermind Fiats! surely the long awaited arrival of a top quality realistic non converted NEW HOLLAND TM is about to be revealed!!!!!!!!!!! please please please make it a TM190 Quote
ford4ever Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 This appears to be gone off toptractors website.Anyone know anything?? F Quote
bluegreen Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Yeah their making a pair of "ugly" fiats to go with the "orange" Vulgar (i mean valtra) I have too ask who chooses which models too replicate?? When I think of all the masses of different Valtras produced by all & sundry over the last few years I ask why?? They are neither a popular brand or handsome machines are they!! Surely if you have access to the NH brand of bygone machines you would plumb for a very popular model too ensure a decent return on the cost of tooling & production. Sure they will sell a fair few 110-90s but just imagine how many TM150s or Ford 7810s they would shift 10 X as many I bet Quote
CJ Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 i disagree i belive the 110 90 are a very popular model and definatly not ugly i would buy a 110 90 before a tm 150 or 7810 not that i wouldnt like too see them as well, and if you look in april 08 classic tractor on page 7 it tells that in 06 valtra had a bigger share of the market than fendt landini and JCB Quote
FB Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 At the end of the day no matter what make or model tractor is made in model form your not going to please everyone. It's nice to see something different being made as the model market has been flooded by special editions Fendts and Valtras (no offence to all that has had them commissioned) Weather you like or dislike any special editions the choice is simple if you like them buy them if not dont buy them that is true!, i have no Fendts or Valtras etc., dont like them so wont buy them, this model will be the same for me, not my cup of tea :) Quote

Simon Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 I spoke to Geoff about 3 weeks ago - maybe longer - and he told me he was waiting for the prototype to come, was expecting it around May time. Sure he'll post something on TT when he knows more. And for those that don't know it's being done with Ros, so expect 180-90 quality and then some..... Quote
texas Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 I dont hope for Geoff that Ros has the same delivery time as UH. Texas Quote
Tractorman810 Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 dont wish to be rude here but to me bestoke means a full new build no parts shared with exsisting models, whilst ros do a current fiat anyway then a lot of parts will be of that for sure, so really its not to different from any of the current ros convos arround suerly???even if they paint it blue, like exsisting convos Quote
MODELFARMER Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 The model is completly new it is smaller than ros's existing fiat not much though it has all new tooling none off the existing because the cabs are actually different sizes it will be a good seller that is fo sure hope its got the straight pipe thats all i'm saying ;D Quote
PDH Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Rather all the wild speculation why don't you contact Geoff and ask him direct. I think I know what's going on but its Geoff's model and he should give out the updates he wants to when he wants to. Quote

Long way from home if it was Geoff!! Quote
nashmach Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Long way from home if it was Geoff!! That is what I thought too - maybe its some of his friends/agents over here Quote
noel Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 If what i hear is correct, the fiats have been pushed back till 2009!!! due to unforseen circumstances. \ \ Quote
nashmach Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 If what i hear is correct, the fiats have been pushed back till 2009!!! due to unforeseen circumstances. \ \ Oh no - well maybe that might explain why it is still in photo gathering stage Quote
