10 series spec difference/ Antwerp/Basildon

[Rob250]

Does anyone know the spec difference between a 10 series imported from the Antwerp plant in Belgium than a Uk spec Machine from Basildon plant.?

None that I am aware of. There are differences between USA builds and the others, primarily with regards to the lighting packages.

As Bern says, very little difference, the engines and transmissions were all made in different factories and shipped around for final assembly. Some tractors for Germany had 8th gear blanked off.

I had read an article the other day and the guy who wrote it said
Be careful with imports as far as paying over the odds for one, I.e if its from Antwerp rather than Basildon? because the spec is different but he didnt state what the different was! From the research I have done I cant find any information regarding differences!
So Im unsure maybe he is referring to the value for collectors if its not Uk stamped ?

Recollecting we got our SAE system from UK. Maybe the Antwerp system is Metric. Just because the system is different doesn't
necessarily mean the parts are different physical size. I think if you are building a wiget for a multinational company all the parts fit.
There may be differences like head lights in the grill for European tractors vs USA sales but the rest of the tractor out to Mike out.
