Detail
The two axles have differentials and there is a short length of drive shaft to the front axle. The tyres are a nice quality rubber and the metal hubs are detailed with wheel nuts.
Access ladders to the cab are finely detailed and a feature of the model is the metal handrails some of which are very thin. The cab mirrors are also metal and the interior cab detail is good including a textured floor.
The engine area has a solid rear rather than a grille and the handrails are not modelled. At the rear the lights are painted. Under the hood is a reasonably detailed engine.
The pivot point has visible steering cylinders but no drive shaft or hoses. The front loader arm linkage is good and there are some soft hydraulic hoses.
The metal bucket is a decent casting.
Features
The wheels roll well and are fixed to common axles. The rear axle has good oscillation and the front axle is fixed.
Steering across the pivot point achieves a realistic angle.
The Z-bar linkage is stiff and will hold any pose. The height of lift is a little restricted but the tipping angle is very good.
The engine cover can be opened and will pose in the open position.
Quality
This is a good quality model by Motorart with a high metal content.
The graphics and paint are high quality.
Price
The price is on the expensive side compared to similar models.
Overall
This is a good model of the New Holland W300C and is recommended overall.
