7920 v 7930

[robbo]

I have a Britains 7920 and I am not particularly impressed with the detail and especially with the wheels and tyres, it seems to be poorly built and plasticky.  > >

Is the new 30 series any better or am I better off looking for the Siku version.

By the way, I do not modify models \ \ I am not good with my hands  ;) and I prefer to collect original models

thanks

i had  a similar experience but with a 7930 i didnt thinnk much of it so back in the box it went and then back to toymaster :D

the 7930 is a far better model to the 7920, it has correct tyres, beacon, fieldstar, hand rails to name a few, only trouble is the britains style hitch

Is the turning circle any better?

I'm not really a Deere fan but I do have both the 7920 & 7930 models.I do think the Britains 7930 model is really good, especially its cab & bonnet detail but is let down by the hitch, the plain tyres & the fact that the front wheels stick out way to much past the front mud-guards & even the rims themselves on the front sit out to much past the tyre-wall!!

I have recently changed the rear tyres to Siku ones & I am trying to re-fit Siku front wheels which will have to be modified a little & a front linkage which should really make a job of it!   ........Oh, & not 1 but 2 new beacons of course!!!

Try looking here, they are easy to do

I have the  limated edtion 7830 i think its far better than the 79/7820 :)

funny you posted this topic, i bought a 7930 on saturday and im really pleased with it, great model, the only 2 bad things are the steering could be better and i don't like the beacon and ide prefer twin beacons for a tractor that big \

I have 7920, 7830,7930 (with siku hitch) & I really like the new model. 

Sadly its wheels are still a let down \ and i cant understand how ertl can make them right for the 8530 (allbeit metal ones) and wrong for 78/7930

Heres my 7830

did you have trouble with the rear axle on the 7930?mine sticks and i think its bent i didnt do it it was like that when i got it out of  box.

[fendt-man-matty]

yea my wheel slightly rubs the mudquard at a certain point of the wheel \

[margerisons]

yeh mine does that thinking of replacing the axle or taking it apart and trying to find the reason i dont like it with the bent axle.
