Why are they used? Is a different cutter needed of OSR or does it need to dry of something?

Any chance of one next to a normal britains tractor or a 362/2120 etc., i'm interested to know how smal it is.] thanks

I don't suppose you'd ever build one with a maize head? probably no use but I have three of those heads knocking around....

I'm a fan of the towed, more fun, SP makes the job too easy. Its just the pottingers, you don't see a lot of them in England. Most of us would use convential harvesters I'm sure, its not a dig or anything, just out of interest, I bought one yesterday, are they just used as a solution to single handed silage collection?

looks great, the long grass is the best i've seen. purely curious, why did you choose pottingers over forage harvesters, its a very european setup?

On the polystrene front, I don't know an awful lot about what to go for as I haven't used it, others on this board will give better advice. What i do know, is it is all about trying until it works or you run out of swear words

Choice is yours, depending on what skill or experience you have with materials. Thin MDF if you don't mind thick sides to it, brass if you are good at metalwork,polystrene sheets, or even a block if it doesn't have to have an inside, if you are really desperate, card would aslo work, the choice is yours.

I can't see Britains making one of these for the UK, they are a bit rare. I'm not getting much of a sense of scale from the pic, but i guess it is much larger than a forklift, nearer SP harvester size, although I have seen smaller ones. These would be idel with the forklift, as the mechanism to raise and lower the head is already in place. I agree with FP, on using the massey head, cheaper and narrower and on you being a numpty

You could do what PDC suggested for the MB trac, take it into halfords or the like, and get it matched (take a bit you've cut off if you don't want to do a lot of explaining ) They must have software and colour scanners which will give you a good match, if you make a lot of trailers it shouldn't work out too expensive.

Put a secretive Britains logo on your van and those of your colleagues prepared to help the cause, we can start an underground network of air hose supply

You'll need some waterslide decal paper (theres loads on ebay) and make your printer is up to the job Then you'll need a graphics program, you will have to buy or "aquire" this, MS paint is not worth the hassle of trying it on there as it is hard to size things up. When you have a program, like Photoshop, corel, even vectorworks (to set up the lines) etc, you can either create a grid that represents the dimensions of the decal you want and then design to that, or just create rectangles of the right size, this insures that it ends up the right size for the tractor. If it is a curved decal, create a fine grid and use the Arc or polyline tool. The rest is pretty much the design, find the nearest font to the one you want, or draw the letters/numbers yourself, do a few practice prints to make sure the colours you are using are accurate as the screen does not show exactly how the printer, prints (unless you have got the colours set up with your screen/printer). Also make sure the printer has a high enough deffination to print the detail, you can spend hours on something, only for it to come out as a blob, so it is usually a good idea to simplify some decals and create a representation . The problem you are going to have, is if you have not used a graphics program before, a lot of this is not going to make sense, and you can't be taught the programs over the internet, so the best solution to learning them is to buy one and keep trying

Looks alright to me, anyway I'm sure you get what you pay for so to speak

I was thinking the good olde MB Trac for the job, bit of a German combination going on

I've had some with and some without, had no idea what to do with them when I was younger, more concerned with why seed would not come out of the seed drill. Guess they realised weight costs money to ship......

I'm trying to tell myself I can't afford it, or that I shouldn't start collecting UH or it'll never stop, but it aint working........and it looks like it'll hitch to a Britains tractor.........ARGH But things like this only come around once in a long while (so far) so it has to be done. Thanks for the pics, unintenionally, you have convinced me

Please notice the wink

You'll find plenty outside the local 11.30 on a saturday night
