robbo Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 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 robbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BERRY Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Is the turning circle any better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad4machines Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 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!!!

marshman Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have the limated edtion 7830 i think its far better than the 79/7820 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendt-man-matty Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 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 \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margerisons Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

margerisons Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
