NewHolland2 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Siku did a few John Deere 3300 and 3400 tractors I think they were, based on their Renault Ceres......Don't see too many of them about although I think Marcus has one...... \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 When did Siku begin to come in to the U.K? We are all farmiliar with Britain's early stuff and at that time being an English company obviously makes us more aware of what the rarer production stuff is as it is well documented. Perhaps there is in Germany an equivalent documented history of Siku stuff, perhaps some of our German freinds could enlighten us. My interpretation of the word 'rare', in this context, would be just how many units of a specific item was made rather than how many are left in existance. Six of one and half a dozen of the other I guess as others would argue that what's left of earlier stuff could constitute as rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I have all the siku tractors and only need implement for the collection I cant find red Round bale collecter trailer in box very hard to find this model the second hardest one to find was the Siku tripple rolls set only came across this last year in the box I would imagine the Deutz Fahr trailed forage harvester is another one that is hard to come by, I've been trying for a couple of years now without success \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I think it was one of the better models that Siku made at that time in the early 90's, did miss one on ebay last year. Wish I'd got one when they were in the shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
