Excellent!!!!

Great to see some other 1/64 machines.

Great Job, never seen anything like that before, would be really handy on a real life farm.

With such a narrow wheel track and high centre of gravity, it lokks like it would tip easily.

Deere-est: HB 2140 SP has straw walkers.

Catkom3: You are correct about the Connor-Shea header, you can use the tractor as normal.

Have not seen the 1300HP D11 before, I only included the pic of the dozer because to the blade/rake in front of it that is built for Aus scrub clearing.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is it, it is huge.

FordTractorCrazy: The combine powers the baler as well making use of its hydrulic pressure monitoring systems. An extra oil pump is installed I think and it runs the PTO.

Deere-est: The Ausplow seeder doesn't neccesarly need to have worked ground in front of it, just direct drilled. The Hardi is not a special build, standard.

Most of this big stuff that I have shown you like the 160ft seeder is not used all over Aus, just in big states like WA, NSW and Queensland. In Victoria most equipment is usually up to 50ft at most, I would say.

Have you seen my latest tractor post. Some of them are custom builds.

I hope you have enjoyed these very different Australian Machines. Thanks for looking.

I'm sorry if you are getting sick of my posts already, but there are only a few left and i tink that some of these tractors and machines that are different to mainstream American and European tractors a very interesting.

Thanks for looking, I hop you have enjoyed my posts.

This will be the last of my picture posts in this topic. Others of our operation may follow some other time.

Ol'Rusty, i know the engine is not Australian as it is a 1000HP Ruston Hornsby, but the rest is Australian engineered. Looks pretty cool.

Australian built equipment pictures are hard to find and while there are good few manufactures there aren’t as many as there used to be. Some might be pushing boundries for farm equip. First up is an Allfarm Mizzi cane harvester, of which only a handful were sold.

Next is an Austoft cane harvester. Austoft was a Australian company, producing hydrostatic drives and cane harvesters, until it was bought by Case IH to build harvesters under their name, you might be able to see the Austoft name on the big white thing on the back of the harvester. They were built in Aus for a while but now I think they are built in Brazil.

Austoft drives were also used in Horwood Bagshaw 2140 Self Propelled Harvesters, the last combine harvester, also called a header to be built in Aus. Built in South Aus, maybe near where Spud is from.

More to come another time.

Thanks

I found some Connor Shea implements.

Chisel Plough

One Way Disc Plough

Cultivator

14 Run Seeder

Seeder pulled by an acremaster.

Be sure to check out the Connor Shea Harvester in the Other Farm Machine post. See if you can tell me the major design feature.

More implements from other makers soon!

I have found some more

This is a Dustan Farm Engineering, Mothe Bin, 110 tonne.

Marshall Multispread, Fertiliser Spreader

Gryal Airseeder

Lastly for now, Kelly Engineering, Disc Mulch Chain

Thanks for looking

Again, the pics arn't mine, found from web based sources

Good Video Spud.

Found some more.

Kelly and Lewis, copy of the Lanz Bullldog.

Farmer built, two Chamberlains, Super 70's or 90s stuck together and a old truck driving seat.

Geelong built AW-7

Big Lizze

Big Lizzie was built in the early 1900s intended to replace camels in the desert but got as far as Mildura on its delivery trip. It proved to be excellent at clearing mallee scrub during the 1920s when the region was being settled.

That's All For Now. Check out my implement post also

Thanks!

P.S Pictures from Web Based Sources.

Now for something that the mighty Australian Tractors can pull,

First off, Horwood Bagshaw Scaribar and Airseeder

Next the World record holder for seeding, the Multiplanter, this is the 160ft model.

This is one of the sprayers in the Jetstream line-up

Lastly, a John Shearer Drill, we call them combines sometimes (not a combine harvester)\

As I said in the Australian Tracotrs post there are more makers, but pics can be hard to find, and i haven't thought of all the manufacturers yet.

Thanks

P.S, Pictures from Web Based Sources.

I thought I might show you some Australian Built Tractors.

First up a Chamberlain 9G.

Next Up an Upton 2WD, 210kw Scania V8, 12 ton tractor, the fuel tank alone weighs 1 and a half ton empty!

Thirdly, A Horwood Bagshaw AcreMaster

Next, 600hp Baldwin

And Finally, for the pulling fans out there, T&I TERMINATOR, now know as DEERE EXPRESS\

Because Australian machines aren't really known about other than in Aus, it is hard to find pictures of them on the net.

Thanks for looking, I hope to post some more in the future.

Thanks,

I forgot, I also added a swinging drawbar, hydraulic couplings (SCVs, breakaways) and a PTO shaft. You can't see them in the pictures though.

Here is a John Deere 8295r tractor that I customised for a friend.

I know what I said in my Intro, but my friend was willing for me to cut my teeth on his tractor before I started my own.

It started off as an original out of the packet.

I then went about pulling it apart to add a Moores Farm Toys customising kit that I bought from Bossen Implement in the USA.

First was a steering front axle, i had to remove two rivets and the grille to open the tractor in half enough to drop the old one out.

The new steerable painted one went in, the I two-pak epoxyed over the rivet holes and reinstalled the freshly painted grille.

Next I cut the rear axle. I wasn't sure about how it was attached so I used a hacksaw blade and cut between the diff and the rim.

Now I drilled into the diff so I could pass a new axle right through. Then.... BANG. I shattered the diff, many expletatives followed.

I wondered for ages what I was going to do. I couldn't get a new tractor as the front axle was installed in this one.

Then I spyed an old antenna from a radio controlled car. One of the sections was exactly the right size to sleeve the part of the diff that had broken.

So I used it and it came up brilliently. I painted it over.

Next comes the three point linkage with quick hitch. This one is moveable and is the most fiddly thing to work with, but the end result is worth it. It is held togethter with cut down sewing pins. Sorry the pictures aren't great. Little dobs of glue hold the other end. It is quite a long process so I won't go into it.

Next came the other detailing parts; mirrors, step handles, toolbox, flasher bars, ect

The whole thing got a new coat of JD green and wheels from a 'Collect and Play" JD, which were more accurate to the real tractor.

My friend was very happy with the finshed product.

Thanks For Looking

Any Questions Welcome

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I haven't been drawing for a long time so the next one I show you won't be as good, lest for a long time yet, they take ages.

Sorry in advance if I post in the wrong spots, just let me know and tell me where it should go.

I'll try and post a custom 1/64 later.

Thanks again.

Hello,

My name is David, I live in Central Victoria, Australia.

I live on a broadacre cropping farm, just cereals, run Merino sheep and a handful of Poll Hereford Cattle.

I, interested in issues surrounding Agriculture, I am in my final year of school, before I attend a two year Advance Diploma of Agriculture course.

I am an avid Horwood Bagshaw, IH, Case IH fan, don't even talk about John Deere to me, you will fall on deaf ears.

I collect mainly 1/64 models but I do have a few other scales.

If I don't reply straight away please consider the time difference and the fact that I may not visit alot.

Thanks
