Thanks, just a nice simple one that anyone, even the new people to conversions could do to start with, just changing the wheels makes a big difference i think
-
-
what did you get the wheels of Gav
I bought the wheels off Farm Models at Spalding
nice gav, being of sick may not be good for ya, but the collection is getting bigger eh mate
Thats very true, fast running out of space to put everything now though
\
Good effort Gav, the wheels make a hell of a difference as I found on my grain trailer aswell.
Thats actually where i got the initial idea from, then when i started using the one at work i thought i'd give it a go on the Marston Silage trailer

Looks good Tris, don't forget to put 1/32 scale cat paw prints in it as the little beggars always seem to find wet concrete

:D

That's the fella... Andrew... whatever his name is... the man who got caught clocking Landy's
Thought so, strangely enough thats where my bundle of misery came from as well

Crikey... nice rig... we don;t get them over here like that... although one guy has been trying to get them established...
What weight can you reach with one of those fully laden (train weight... legal train weight)
Would that be a certain guy at Peterborough Marky that we've discussed before

If you think of it like an 8 wheeler lorry, both the front axles steer on one of them to help it manouvre so this is basically the same, if you left the 8 wheeler with the wheels turned it would look like crab steer on the front. You do have to stand next to these machines to see how long they are really. I know there will be some working not far from Matty soon as i was carting muck there the other day and saw a big field of carrots with straw stacked up waiting
-
Oh boy, look at that! I can see a convo in that straight away
I'm drooling again now
:D
:D
-
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm drill, drooling here. Very nice, definately be at least one coming here
-
cheers gav, they seem to be rare as now adays from the article, prob why i am having probs finding pics of them
I've seen a few working in the A17 area but i don't get that way very often, i think i've seen one near the Thorney bypass roundabout on the A47 as well, maybe something someone in that area could checkout
Up till last year there was someone locally running one with a db skid unit but its gone now
-
don't know if this one is of any help to you Sean?
-
Take a look on here, hopefully should be of some help to you
-
nice work Gav
;D
, i was, as FP, under the impression this was what you were gonna attempt!!. looks good so far, pity no model maker has actually attempted a decent one yet
\
Thanks Ben, that was my opinion as well, i never bought the old green britains one as quite frankly i thought it was crap. This is long overdue though by someone, you never know UH may produce one in the future
-
yes your right, my mate has just got a 6m folding kevernland and its the same colours with a black packer, forgot about them colours, i have some kevernland decals for the ploughs i make so i better get a u/h harrow bought
I thought that they were that colour, lucky as i have some KV decals too, would never surprise me if Prosol made the KV ones or vice versa in reality
-
i think this is for grass seeding, dont think those tines will goe into stubble
the tanks are designed for both jobs as they are for small seed am i right gav
Absolutely right Mike, used for seeding grass and other small seeds such as stubble turnips where the seed basically has to be on the surface
-
beat me to it, im just on with making another piggy back drill (d.t p/harrow and a norsted drill) made like i did the amazone one about 6 months ago. ive got a low loader trailer on order to move it about then its off on ebay
looks good, i may do one but i will paint the power harrow into machio colours or greenland ones to make it a bit more uk branded
From memory there doesn't look to be alot of difference between the Prosol colour scheme and that of the Kverneland power harrows, could be wrong though as its been quite a while since i last saw one
-
very nice. wts the white plastic for is it to stand it up because isnt there a stand
That was just there to support it while the glue was setting, there is a stand but the plastic was better for pushing down on
-
Great job Gav
. You should join the A-frame to the harrow with brackets and a top link because thats the way the real ones are mounted.
I'm working on something along those lines at the minute, just a case of getting everything to fit right
-
I thought that was what you had planned for the accord drill!!
Looks well Gav, is it easy to mount, much chopping to do etc??
I thought that someone would guess what ihad planned, trouble is this is the one from my collection i cut up
\
Its actually quite difficult as the whole chassis and frame has to be cut off the drill to fit it. Nothing is in the right place as the pipes aren't long enough to leave the frame intact unfortunately. In the process of making the frame and markers at the minute
-
Thanks guys. I'll only post pics of the finished machine if you promise not to sing (i say sing in the broadest sense of the word) again Tris

:D

Looking good Gav......Is there anything you won't fit an OSR seeder to?
;)
Thanks Martin, and in a word-no
:D
looks good Gav, nice little convo, more interested in the harow/drill though
Thanks Ben. Did try to post that at the same time but it disappeared into the abyss by the looks of it, sorted now though
Spot on Gav, just how I imagined it to look. Best start getting these done in numbers before everyone has got the harrow an doesn't want to buy another.
Thanks Tris, funnily enough i have 5 of them sitting here all in progress
