Priced at €165, the Case Ih QuadTrack 715 tracked tractor model by Universal Hobbies leaves little room for criticism—except for the inclusion of the infamous Siku rear hitch
Spending €165 on a 1:32 scale model of a tractor is no small investment, especially in today’s market. However, quality matters in model collecting, and this particular replica excels in that regard. The Case Ih QuadTrack 715 by Universal Hobbies showcases excellent design, meticulous craftsmanship, and an impressive level of detail, all contributing to a remarkably hefty model.
The real-life QuadTrack 715 is an imposing machine, and even at 1:32 scale, the model measures over 30 cm in length, requiring a substantial display space.
Outstanding Attention to Detail
Key highlights of this model include:
✅ Realistic glass finishing, with black borders and gradient shading.
✅ Accurately scaled handrails and applied details.
✅ Correct cabin interior colors.
✅ Intricately replicated anti-slip steps on the ladder.
✅ Braided steel tow cable positioned beneath the cab access platform.
The One Drawback: The Siku Rear Hitch
The only real downside is the inclusion of the Siku-style rear hitch instead of an authentic reproduction of the real one. Given the €165 price tag, Universal Hobbies could have provided the correct hitch and offered the Siku version as an optional accessory for those wanting to incorporate the model into a worksite diorama.
Despite this minor flaw, the Case IH QuadTrack 715 remains an exceptional collector’s piece, offering top-tier quality and realism.
