Fendt Fahrer Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Must say, dont know too much about them. ??? Where are they made? They look the part, are they any good? Quote
farmernick06 Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Must say, dont know to much about them. ??? Where are they made? They look the part, are they any good? There a russian or Ukranian company i believe. I seriously like this model, a bit mysterious with a sexy loader Quote
Deere-est Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Wherever they are from I shouldn't think the population could afford the flippin model anyway, what a waste. .. They'll be making TAFE Tractors next Quote

civilpek Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 wasnt it uh that made those russian combines recently? they seem to be showing alot of interest at the moment with tractors/machinery coming from russia and eastern europe considering the zetors they are doing too Quote

FW Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Hmm can see a lot of conversions coming from those....good chasis and loader- just look at that pipe work! Quote
FW Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 What dya mean Tris don't you like the model? And i'll join you in saying TAFE Tractors should not be made Why do you think that Nick? They're just re-making tractors which worked very well, (e.g. the 35x) at a fraction of the cost to make, as the tooling was all available from MF. Horses for courses though mate, I know it doesn't have the appeal for collecters over here, but abroad where they're much more affordable, you'd struggle to find a better tractor of this type. Even in the UK there is a market for them, with I know of 4 within 10 miles of here, not suprisingly in the equistrian market as you get a good spec'd up machine with a warrentee as opposed to a 40 year old machine with risks. But personally I'd have a MF due to its pure charm and character. ;) Quote
Kiwi6920 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I think its good we are seeing models form the other makes now, These things are cheap and pretty damd reliable, they are so basic they cant go wrong like a modren fendt( it has the most computers i can think of) with these you whip out your tool box like the good old days, where with the fendt its the cell phone Zettors are making a comeback over here now, seen 3 diffrent ones on raking dutys this season Quote
Deere-est Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Disagree, we have all these EU machines coming in which yes, they are used over here too so that's good. The names like Horsch, Lemken Claas etc - all good as far as I am concerned but this seams like a bit of a white elephant when there are alot of sales to be made by the likes of McConnel in particular on these shores. I'm talking models by the way, not the real market place. Quote

But just the idea of a model of one \ I doubt they would go down very well, i expect the vast majority would want to see an MF \ But i have no objections of one being made, i just don't think they would be a very good seller \ Quote

(quite a while ago now) Quote
james f Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Might have to get one of those, even if it is just for the loader :) Quote
MODELFARMER Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 hi the wee factory in hong kong must be flat out hi Quote
Deerepower Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 the loader may come in handy for another tractor Quote
TM190 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 the loader may come in handy for another tractor I'd say there might be a few useful bits on it ;) Quote
