Photos of the new New Holland D180C were posted on the site a few days ago. If I hadn't been on Motorart's website, I would have thought I was looking at a Siku toy! They made better fitting rubber tracks 40 years ago. And that inside detail is.....

Everything about this dozer looks ugly. That GPS pod is huge! The tracks are horrible, and don't get me started on the ripper. Motorart was never meant to make dozers. I truely believe that they should continue to stay away from producing them.

Geez, I thought this was a joke. Ugly is not even the word. More like ridiculous I believe...  And what is that meant to be in the engine bay? Solar powered dozed??? It would make even a baby laugh... S.

I was hoping that the Case 2050M would be a nice model.....but I never expected that it could be this bad, and for $103-$114 you would think they would try to make it a nice model....

This thing screams "Don't buy me!" It's a good thing that motorart pulled the Case 2050M from their line, no need for another piece of crap!

What a giant piece of crap, I seen better looking models from Ertl (which means a lot lol). This is why I refuse to buy anything Motorart. It seems like the only companies that have produced and continue to produce quality models are Conrad and NZG.

You guys have got it all wrong...I'm sure it says "door stop" on the box somewhere....it has to because it doesn't qualify as a model.

You crack me up...Eastcoast....it is a shocker of a model as stated. What I don't get is they go to all the trouble to make great engine covers etc...then have something that looks like a painted engine underneath them...I don't get it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SHOCKED RIGHT INTO MY SOCKS !!!!!! This looks like a plastic toy.
Diecast Toys of 50 years ago looks way better - well you can glue the opening engine covers preventing it to open accidentally - LOL. You're right - anybody have a Norscot Cat 320 for sale. I will buy it now - LOL. The Ertl New Holland models looks wayyyy better.
No - Motorart should rather cancel this and start again if possible.

Dolph Hmmm...that model's pretty bad. We'd better weld those covers shut just to be sure!

But you're right, as far as it is priced accordingly. On that one, Siku would have done better, but it would sell for 20 Euros or 30$ rather than 100$+... Simply said, we've been used to expect better from Motorart and it appears that this item in particular is much lower than (what used to be) their usual Standards.

I guess Motorart is on the decline since the pipelayer mishap (the winch/elastic "cable"). Then they went with all plastic hydraulic cylinders on the excavators and now this. I have gone to the premise of only getting Conrad or NZG models unless places like First Gear come out with something worthy.
I personally think Motorart should crawl into a hole and bury this stuff.
