See this youtube movie from the trailer. you can see it unloading at the silagepit 

did some more building work.

I got a question in the JD 4050 topic about the trailer being build in the back. so why not start a new topic

The trailers is based on a Tebbe 3 axel chassis with a home build silage box on it. its not your normal silage trailer, this is a side tipper.

some photos of the real thing:

and the model i'm building:

We start with stripping the ROS trans ktp trailer chassis.

starting with the cahssis of the trailer.

The start of the box.

The Fendt 936 from wikining in fort of it. its realy a big trailer !

Its been a while sinds my last update. the 4050 is almost ready now. i couldn't choose between a 2wd and a 4wd. so i build both  the 4050 is a 2wd, with the front axle and tires of the JD 4020 van RC2. and the back wheels are fron the jd 6650/6850 from RC2. The 4250 usa hase the front tires from a Fendt 820 with comstomized rimes, and the back tires of a Krone Big M.

back hitch on both the 4050 and 4250, build from a back hitch from a TTV and some poly

With the tires one it.

Both the 4050 and 4250 with some primer.

The 4050 2wd

And the 4250

( i made a litle mistake with the interior paint of the cab. i got the wrong brown collor. this almost looks orange  \ its fixed now as you can see on the photos below )

Both the 4050 and 4250 allmost finished. the 4250 is getting some front weights of the 8400 precision. i just orderd them at Walker.

it takes about 4 hours to get the resin kit ready for paint. including the home build back hitch. and another 3 hours detailing after paint.  decals. lights, the whole lot.

The latest conversion i'm workin on at the moment. Its a John Deere 4050, based on a Henry Walker stock66 kitt. i'm not sure yet what i'm gonne do with the wheels. i whas thinking puting the tractors on rowcropwheel. the TTV are just on there for now. on duals it looks pretty good to.

For the picture on duals

Handgrips on the bonnet, and some details in the cab are allready there

The cab, need to add the controls for the hydrolicks and the gears,

The decals, lights and other details, allso from Walker Parst ofcource

Hi guys,

Here my latest conversion, its a New Holland FX375. its a repainted NH FX60 from RC2. i allso changed the wheels. these wheels are from a Claas Jaguar 900 from westend. i also costomized the corn header a bit  i still need to add some details. like the new holland logo on the back of the bonnet, some extra worllights and some blinkers.

the finnished magnum. only thing left to do is the glas in the cab. but first the computer of the Schuitemaker manure tanker needs to go in ( still need to build that tank )

Nice work Geoff, well done! The Siku injectors at the back look very 'toyish' now. Considered building some more realistic ones to match the tanker or are you to busy with other projects?

the siku injectors are just for now. i'm planing on building a couple of veenhuis grassland injectors soon. but first a nother 3 veenhuis tankers 

Both the 18m3 and 14m3 tanker are finished. What do you guys think?

the Veenhuis yellow collor is on. only need to detail the tank and its finnished

some photos of the singel axle 14m3 tanker

a couple photos of the 18m3 2 axled tanker

the drawbar in action.

this is my 4755 is build by Ronnie Post. and the wheelbase is spot on. this front axle is bit futher back than yours. other than that the model looks superb !

looks good mate!

only little point, you need to move the front axle a bit to the front. its to far back now 

if worked nonstop sinds the last update and the model is allmost ready for paint. some small details to add and than its ready for some primer & paint

today i build one of the drawbars and the mountings on the chassis. took me about 4 hours to build it sofar.

britainsfan is right the contractor i worked for whas the first in holland that had  the magnum, the didn't get it from a dealer, they imported it from the USA. they had the magnum 3 months befor they wure avalible in holland.

good you like the model !

a nother update. tomorrow the case ih black and red paint is going on. so somewhere next week the finnished tractor, what do you think sofar?

a joskin tank and a Veenhuis tank are 2 different things. veenhuis hase different sizes of there tanks. if you whant you tank to look like the real one. you need to have the same size tank. both single axel tanks are custom made from a sollid block of PVC and milled down to the exact shape of the veenhuis tank. the tank on the twin axeld is a modified siku josking tank. both tanks have the same size.

i'm allso planning on building a Veenhuis triaxle transport tank. on the chassis of the ROS tanker. but with a custom made tank.

i'm pretty bussy building models at the moment. i'm working on the magnum 7130, the 2 veenhuis single axle tankes. but i'm allso working on a 18.000L twin axel Veenhuis. i just painted it today. ( see the photos ) i'm allso working on a JD 4850 and JD4050 2wd with FEL boths USA versions. and i gues thats about it. su its a pretty full in my workshop 

2 photos of the complete model. not painted

the first coat of Veenhuis yellow sprayed this morning

that realy impresive Britainsfan ! the kits are very good made by Manu S. the fit together perfectly i'm building 6 of then in total. this being the first one.

magnum 7110 2wd (usa)

magnum 7130 4wd (eu, this is the one i'm building now )

magnum 7240 (eu)

magnum 7220Pro (eu)

magnum 7250Pro (eu)

magnum 8950 (usa)

i got the tanks and fender ready of the 14m3 tank. also got the fillingarm on it:

with the magnum in front of it

my latest conversion i'm working on. its a Case Magnum 7130, the first series with the black decals and USA back fenders. it's a kit from Manu S. all resin. he included wheels with the kit, customized JD6920 tires from siku. but i thought the Big X UH tires looked a lot better 

wow. that looks realy good mate ! i like those round fenders al lot better 

thanks 

i don't build models for sale, only for my own collection, sorry

thanks for all the comments

a nother of my conversions. a New Holland T8040. one of my favorit tractors. i fitted the tractor with siku axion tires, a UH atles frontlinkage, and some details all over  the tractors. the  tractor is setup with a set of krone tripple mowers from the krone big m from UH. what do you guys think of it?
