Andy Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Interesting points there Mike, I guess the plastic is there to save on weight? \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffithsbros Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 when i asked someone why siku models were expensive they said it was because the price of metal had rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike R Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 its not just the metal its the flimsyness of it I would pay more if they were made like the elite range JD model or the siku models. Its a shame I collected Britains for more than 25 years and this puts me off buying anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I didn't keep the FR9090; I thought it was an OK model, but the FX is better, though the grass heads are far too big on both of them. Steering wheels on the 9090 seemed to small to me as well - have looked in the catalogue and it was supposed to have been the smaller FR9060 in the Britains line you know... As for the JD - I have just seen this in a shop in town, and I was very impressed I must say. I'm not the hugest fan of Deere tractors, though I do like the 7810 and the old 4955, but the T looks like an excellent model though.

You have got me worried about the JD forager on the way now mike \ \ \ i wouldn't worry about it jez from looking at the pictures of it on top tractor its a prodrive and its got harvest lab on it as well as the greenstar, its an i and the flash photography shows most of its die-cast and when it was out the first time round the only fault with was the grass pick up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 i like the nh 9090 forager,especially after i cut the grass header down to a realistic 3 meters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 It does look better with smaller pick up, but aren't the back wheels a bit on the small side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
