FNHIR Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Well Dinny did they give you the passport to get out of Cork up to Carlow A review of the Fiat please Went out and got slaughtered in Cork last night, rendering any attempts to get out of bed before 5pm today useless! Just one thing, if the original is an NH as opposed to a Fiat, why isn't the model an NH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Most of us are more civilised and do that on a Saturday night :D You would have to ask Tommy that question Dinny I know the white Fiatagri stickers on the cab were put on by its owner due to him adoring these : My local engineer should be happy though to see his grille guard replicated in 1:32 :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbmoynan Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Do elaborate... i think the tractor is based on this photo an original one from toptractor.it has mirrors wrong way,wide wheels,turn on ehaust and a grill guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Could well be Paul but I doubt that one has lower hours than my neighbours Mirrors are that way so you see along a trailer the original offering by NH was pretty miserly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Could well be Paul but I doubt that one has lower hours than my neighbours Mirrors are that way so you see along a trailer the original offering by NH was pretty miserly i think from my scoures that ros did measure that tractor about this time last year, and if there were no clouds in the pic you could nearly see my yard !

Tractorman810 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 if they did use the nh blue one, they could have taken notice of the angle of the exhaust, look its upright ros designers :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 is the exhaust putting you off sean sounds silly, but yes??? 40 quids more expensive than some uh models and loo kat the quallity difference, its only a small bit of plastic, but at that price they can get it right, dare say i will get one, but not right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 sounds silly, but yes??? 40 quids more expensive than some uh models and loo kat the quallity difference, its only a small bit of plastic, but at that price they can get it right, dare say i will get one, but not right nolw I feel the same Sean...I was looking forward to it coming out, but the exhaust has put me off, especially at the price.

CJ Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 i know this pic is a bit blurry but i managed to bend the exausht a bit straighter might be able to go more but i didnt want to break it perhaphs if it was heated up a bit it could work better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 not a bad model tho maybe a little over priced, and i think if they had made the front wheels a few mm's in diameter to make it more level would have been nice, and just nit picking now but they went to the bother of the straight pipe they should have made it chrome over all 8/10 have you purchased one yet then paul ?

Tractorman810 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 so you cant get it perfectly straight then cj?? not with out breaking it possibly,see thats wrong, i know some of these plastices will just go back to the origonal shape over time, hence my concerns, i wouldnt mind one for the collection, it looks a half decent tractor, as you say slighlty overpriced for what it is, but that exhausat is as good as say bmw selling every new car with a paint blemish on every bonnet, would you buy one like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 If it can bend up a bit like CJ has done then its 100% i think ;) As far as i no, the early ones had a bent exhaust but just not bent that far......... So my source says anyway :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Looking at the photo here, it does lean quite a bit... http://konedata.net/Traktorit/fiatagri90-90.htm Though perhaps is a bit too exaggerated on the model... I can't make up my mind whether to get it or not \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Might be handy for pulling the header trolly at havest time Joe. You might be right about that Plus a fine stablemate for the previous 2 Fiats, and possibly the 160-90 I might do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
