-
well running or not like barry said investment value alone makes these tractors worth it, but still a fair bit of work involved it getting her all up & running , looks like she's suffering in the cab structure,some pretty big holes there
-
looks good nathan & that loader will finish it nicely unfortunately the britains bonnet was a little short to be a 6180

this makes an interesting argument well why do we see siku as being a european orientated brand ? admitedly the implements they release is more commonly seen in mainland europe , but the difference between UK spec tractors & euroland tractors is different . More noticeable with the rear hitch, euroland tractors are more commonly fitted with a moveable clevis / drawbar hitch just above the PTO shaft , whereas UK spec is more usually found fitted with an auto-hitch(pick-up-hitch) from what i've seen all siku & UH models & toys are fitted with a UK spec hitch arangement . another thing why do brits not class themselves as european ? i'm a brit & i regard myself as british not european \

Ford 8730, speed conversion
MJB1 replied to Mattias71's topic in Latest Tractor Conversions & Scratch Builds
the duals suit her well mattias job well done , -
well it's like this i see so many conversions here that i want one the same , & it all seem easy as to buy one , then when i calm down i realise , that buying one isn't really the answer i should give it a go & make one , so i have a couple of TW's i'd love to get beefed up , but also would like to get my 8670 looking like anothers on here , also , now i know what the Mc mtx wheels are like i'd quite like to try them on a 2680. sorry mark i often get a rush of blood to the head when i see a conversion done well \

ad blue hmm i'll tell you what a volvo trained mechanic told me . the ad-blue system is all wired into the electrical nonsence , although ad -blue /amonia stuff does reduce emmissions by effectively dousing the exhaust gasses that is litteraly all it does . When the ad'blue tank runs out , the sensor tells the electric engine management control that all the liquid in the tank has gone , so the electric bits seriously de-rate the engine , giving awfull performance & fuel economy . If however you fill the ad-blu tank back up with ad-blue or water or lucozade even beer the sensor tells the electric bit liquid is back in the tank & so the engine is automaticly brought back up to HP rating , how right this is i dont know . BUT i have talked to hauliers that fill their ad-blu tanks with water only & have had no performance loss what so ever , One of these hauliers runs a 56 plate SCANIA V8 580 with just water in his tank , but soon as the water runs out , the engine performance suffers , to get through his ministry test he did use ad-blu to keep the emmissions down

MJB1 replied to MODELFARMER's topic in Other Conversions & Scratch Builds
blimey ! seen some emek stuff at a toy shop i go to , got a few VOLVO FH12 8 legger half pipe tippers & artic units for sale, quite pricey as well i thought . could see it was a larger scale , but without anything to hand to compare size i'm surprised to see the difference is as big as it is -
