You could slightly bend the metal part of the ram, best place is right on the end of it, will make it very tight, the more you bend it the tighter the ram will move in the plastic tube

No need to worry about us being gentle Nick, you're doing a cracking job there, looks just like the real thing. After building mine i can tell you that the legs will be the hardest part, or at least the fiddliest

very nice job you've done there, well done!!

Steady Martin you'll ruffle Pingu's feathers :D :D

Oi! Your beet harvester price may go up with comments like that : :D

Sure I'm sure :D

The later version of the Britains one did have solid sides to the reel as well Marcus, got 5 of them sitting here. It was the early one with the yellow pipe that didn't. Picked mine up for between ?4 and ?10 MIB on ebay

I can think of one not too far away from me, not heard from him lately but been no reports of explosions or fires on the news so he must be ok : :D :D

You forgot trying to incite another colour war in my topic you naughty bird :D :D

He started it, always the penguins fault :D :D

Need I mention your Fendt where you work : :

I do like that 3650, spent a few weeks subsoiling in one of them, pulled like a train. Did have a minor electro hydraulic problem with it when i was driving it, wouldn't lift the subsoiler at the end of the field :

Just watching one of these daytime tv program, cash in the attic, car boot sale things and the woman on there was talking about her house which is a barn conversion and former hayloft with round windows, she said they were round as the bales were round first before the (small) square ones came along : : :

: : What are you like :D :D

The trouble is we have a legal limit of just over 24 tonnes for a tractor and trailer and on the remote chance that you are caught I believe its a fime of ?1000 a tonne for every tonne that you are over that, no doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Personally I can't remember the last time i hauled a load on the road that fell into the underweight limit category. Whilst doing maize silage last year my Renault 836 and 16 tonne Richard Western trailer weighed in at 15 tonnes empty and 32 tonnes loaded : This is an area that urgently needs reviewing by the muppets at Westminister \

Perfectly ok penguin boy :D

There are a few people on row crops wheels about here now, especially those farmers who have OSR as a crop as its now getting between 12 and 24 inches tall so standard wheels are no longer an option in it with out running too much down

Nice pics Martin Seems strange that you'd want to mount a spreader on a chassis to use it on a TM \

Cheers Marky, bit more than that, I completely rebuilt it by shortening it in length as well, didn't look right before to me. Will give it another coat of paint tomorrow

Hope to finish it tomorrow, will just leave the sub soiler then Thanks Tris, hoping to get some more things put on the website soon, not updated it for a while

I'll get to that bit, going to be time consuming though \

Thanks Sean I've still got that left to do yet

better taste in tractor this time too

I finally got round to doing some more on this today. I have altered the design of it and its had one coat of paint in Cousins colours, just needs a second coat now and a front levelling board fitted. This one is based on a 4m version, let me know what you think

Nice pics Ol Shame that the harvest field smell can't be captured as well, such a nice smell
