possibly, I made it for stacking bales on a layout i'm planning

bit more done, just making up decals for the other side at the minute.

Here is a conversion I started, still a few bits to finish-

In desperate need of a photographic machinery fix I headed to Newark Showground for my first taste of an event i've been desperately keen to attend for the past few years. LAMMA. Despite the bitterly cold weather I had a very enjoyable day chasing around most of the major stands and also catching with good friends old and new. 

 

Starting with the "Grassmen" stand which also included some of Luke Furse's equipment on display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This looks like a completely custom kane with high grain sides

ok then I can hold my water ha ha! yeah a nice Ritchie 56 bale transporter and a MF228 baler cant wait to get them.

Id love a small square baler, might have to make 1 for myself 

Well paul you have got one spot on fair play.

Ritchie bale transporter and 228 baler?

I was in Ypres on a school trip. It is hard to believe how many people were killed in such a small area. When on the trip the tour guide told us that people in the area are still being killed as a result of unexploded land mines, especially farmers when they are ploughing. Its incredible, that almost 100 years on the people in the area are still being massively affected by the war

Looking good Jack not many of them about would look well on the UH 390

Would be a fierce load in that trailer for a 390, she'd be under pressure on the hills 

cheers starting a few implements that will hopefully look well with them

Did this small conversion today- added new tyres, front window sticker and cb  aerial

will hopefully be making a few classic implements in the coming months as well if time allows, so any recommendations welcome!!

Here are a few classic 40 and 50 series John Deere's I have made

few more on the way including 2650 and 2850

was at £460 with same time left as the blue model

looks like an expensive mistake-

the britains might be a better than the UH 399

There is another 1 on the way using a different base model as I felt the cab sits a bit high on this 1

They should of used the axle of the 2wd TW if they were that desperate to save money

I'm afraid that is all you can do really. I had a similar case where the buyer didn't pay and the best outcome is getting fees back. You may have to wait a fee weeks to get the fees back though

Woeful attempts at 690 and 390. 690 is far to sloped and looks like 1 off them character toy cars where they slope the bonnet way up!!!

The 390 isn't much better. Looks like they have mounted the mirrors upside down and the exhaust is bent. Also the rear wheels are far too big which also makes the bonnet look sloped, and the lights on the cab and mudguard are wrong.

Front tyres and rims don't look right on either 390 or 690 think it might just be too low profile tyre and the rim not being solid centred.

The 6290 doesn't look too bad but front linkage is disappointing. Also think there is something wrong with the back mudguards.

The 2620 and 2640 don't look too bad apart from the usual problem of narrow wheels.

The 390 is an especially big disappointment as i was looking forward to them so much

Decided to convert rear mowers to 9100C plus with swarther. I think this will be a perfect size for this tractor

mowers on the right way-

Getting ready for a bit for a bit of second cut

Undecided whether to invest in a set of groupers for the mowers to save diesel instead of using another tractor on the rake. What should I do??

Nah im not, the lad that i made it for has that reg on his real tractor

cheers, mudguards aren't technically correct for 399 but would have been difficult to change

No was just a britains 362 cab
