Looks very nice Ian, spot on :) :)

god, i cant get on for a few days and you produce this :o, excellent work Gav ;D

Thanks Ben. Thats the result of me not being able to get on yesterday, still won't let me into a couple of topics either!!

yeah, where the fun be if it went smoothly every time though :D

this was a spray can job too, first time its happened to me as well

is that why i keep getting all the phones crossed??? :D

know the feeling with the paint, had a new bonnet do that last night, had to sand it down and repaint it?? perfect this time round weird eh

That might explain it  :D

Yeah, except trying to sand down the hopper and platform area is nigh on impossible, building another as we speak \

only difference is in a phone cable they aren't all the same colour, makes it a bit awkward here. I certainly hope its a seller. Just had a paint disaster with this one, the primer and top coat reacted \

Thanks Rick, its a lot easier to put more detail on this hopper than the other ones i do due to the bigger size

yes the seeder is based on a real one called the Air 16, not seen one on a Gigant before though. Yes i am thinking of doing a slug pelleter, just waiting on a delivery of casting materials at the minute though

Made a few changes on there today, you can now use a buy it now feature using your Paypal account. There will be some new pictures going on over the weekend relating to the Lemken Gigant and a mystery convo

Thanks, adding to it all the time now

Looking good Gav......That's another cultivator off the list you need to fit them too...... ;)

Thanks, Getting through them now Martin 

Looking good gav but are they really put that high in real life?

Yes, if you take a look at the Opico gallery on their website you'll see that

looks good gav , does it still fold up ok ?

that seeder fills the impliment out a bit mor as there's big nothingness when it's set out for work  \

Yes it does still fold by my luck skill it  just fits between the two wings when its folded. Think the model looks better with it fitted

it must be big hole

o i suppose stupid me

Not as big as there was :D

Just a big hole in the market that needed filling

All the pipes going to the back are the seeder tubes

Close up of the hopper. Footplate, handrails and steps are built out of styrene sheet and plastruct

Been working on another seeder conversion today, this time the bigger brother of my existing hopper which has meant a new mould had to be made. In real terms the existing one was only suitable for machines upto 6m wide, this new one will suit machines up to 12m wide. First and probably the only machine to have it fitted at the minute is the Siku Lemken Gigant. Not finished yet, the hopper needs another coat of paint and the pipes need to be fitted, let me know what you all think so far though

they are pretty lightweight doors i have to say, we have started using combos at work, and they are forever in the garage with door problems, hinges breaking locks not working ect

What else do you expect from a vauxhaul : :D

no the fork hit the walls ok, just was no good in the corners?? mind you they were old buildings with very uneven corners and edges to them,as for that size area,best buy in a new loader i recon, as i anit shovling that much sutff round :D :D

They needed the Bobcats as the bays in the shed have posts every 3-4m apart in all directions so the Fergies without power steering and with a front loader on just couldn't get between them other than to go straight in the doors and out again so the Bobcats had to push it into the gangway level with the doors for them to reach

to much luxary really mart, when the fergys couldn't get into the corners i went in armed with a fork and wellies, and shovled it out into the fork or the middel for the next load , you youngsters  :D and hard work cor :

seen one of those Weidemann or something very similar down here today,on a local farm, ,parked up in a feild

If you feel inclined to shovel out 17-24 3m x3m bays out down the each side and the middle of a turkey shed then i'll watch and grunt wall you do the shovelling :D

Were they 50B Backhoes or something similar Gav?  :)

I think they were MF 20 industrial tractors with loaders, not too sure as the last time i saw them was when i was very young, think we need to opinion and knowledge of all things Ferguson here :D

is that 4 then

i did tell you i was interested \

Its actually around 10 now i think without checking and yes you did tell me that you were interested

Looking very good ... Are you going to be selling all of your implements ?

Thanks Nick, yes everything listed on the website will be for sale

Looks very good - the beet harvester is definetly going into production then 

Nice to see Udi getting a plug too - I suppose he is on commision 

Thanks Colm

It most certainly is, probably as well as i've taken two more orders in the past hour

Thanks Ben

No price list as yet, may put one on there soon though, just need to speak to someone first though

I'm pretty sure that there is a model of a Gehl skid steer out there, seen one in the office of a dealer friend of mine \
