Hopefully this is in the right section.

I have spoken with MB Trac on this forum he has the website http://www.cdmodelz.com/index.html

and have asked him if he would do me some castings of the Siku Fendt 718 tyres. Pictured here on a JD 7530

He has agreed, but i am placing this post to see if anyone else would be interested.

I'm off to ecobuild in Earls Court with my boss, we're thinking about starting to instal solar panels, i believe the photovoltaic ones, they convert the sun's energy to electricty, rather than thermal ones.

a selection of buckets    for my 1/32 diggers

What sort of buckets? For what diggers? As i have been looking for some for the ROS Hitachi 360 excavator.

Nice one will have a look at the front wheels, and try pulling then back ones a bit harder then.

I plan to reduce the tracking width of the back tyres of the Ertl Precision JD 8530, but the problem is i can't seem to get the back wheels off. I've tried several techniques, i.e. grabbing both wheels and turning them in opposite directions while pulling, which generally works for UH and SIKU models, i have even resorted to light tapping with a hammer  :D . But still wont budge.

So does any one know how to remove the back wheels?

Also how do the front wheels remove? Just in case i decide to change them.

Thank you for any help in advance.

Ertl Precision JD 8530,

Rauch mounted fertiliser spreader from UH,

Wiking Fendt 936

UH Gregoire Besson 9 furrow plough

it is tris, i took the idea from some one on here, i think it was markduck, i got the liner from b&q it was reduced, i think it looks ok i am happy enought with it

Thank you for the reference.

They look spot on and the extra shrubbery at the base is briliant, think i might do that to some of mine.

UH Lowloader

Ros Horsch Sprinter drill

Joal JCB 531 loader with bucket

UH Fendt 415

UH Deutz k110

And an agrisem which i have changed.

A Imber Ford 4wd SLE version

My latest purchases are;

NH T6080 with front linkage, have created a weight block to go on the front

What are the tyres off of on the New Holland TVT, as they look awesome.

My toytrac purchases:

Fella Tedder, excellent detail, the packaging is something else.

UH Gregoire Besson front press, will be used with the UH Horsch drill.

Another UH Claas round baler, help ease the workload.

Feed bin done by George, beef cattle can have some cattle cake now.

What tyres is the massey second from the left on? The one that looks like its on floats, as they look awsome.

the same for me, but at least i was working inside today.

Is the Sulky worth the money ? I am not sure wether I should get one?

Its a brilliant model especially seems it comes with an adapter, which makes it so versitile, however it is a delicte model, the PTO was broken on mine before i even got it out of the box, but it was the one that was on display. It could do with a cover, as most fertilizer spreaders have one, but that shouldn't be too had to fabricate,l might try a put a jib crane in front of it, if that the right description to lift fert bags off a trailer without the need of a loader.

My Spalding purchases, Ros Joskin slurry tanker, which i've aready converted to a dual axle with different tyres, as i haven't seen many tri-axle slurry tankers around my area. The Sulky fertiliser which is on the JD 6930 wich has had Siku Fendt tyres put on it, Fendt was a Spalding purchase.

Been beating on the first shoot of the season. Bit too warm to be shooting though.

you cant be far of the 60 euro mark with all that artisan stuff Mark

Yep it was somewhere around there.

thanks mark unfortunatly it dosnt which is a shame would look good with a livestock trailer behind  ;)

That's exactly what i was thinking for my layout, maybe with a bit of modification one could be added.

Some brilliant photo angles, great layout.

Quick question does the range rover have a tow hook?

It's actually a 7920. It is a brilliant machine, active seat and command armrest make it so comfortable to operate and work long hours in. He got it brand new from USA when i was working there.

I got asked if i wanted to do some ploughing for the arable farm i did some work on three years ago, i couldn't really refuse seems what i would be using. Hoping to do some more tomorrow after work.
