I don't know about Schuco, But I have the Massey 1150 by Top Shelf Replicas, which is a resin model, and nothing on it moves, the wheels don't even turn. https://www.farmmodeldatabase.com/en/view-details/011389/top-shelf-replicas-1-32-massey-ferguson-1150.html Regards Joe.

Agritechnica 2023
catkom3 replied to James Joe Dewar's topic in General Discussion / Off topic discussion & Everything Else
Was just wondering if the three new big tractors will be updated come Agritechnica with probably a whole host of other new models, Marge Wiese and Wiking are all going to be there, see exhibitors list here. https://www.agritechnica.com/en/exhibitors-products#/search/f=h-entity_orga;v_sg=0;v_fg=0;v_fpa=FUTURE Model makers. I wonder who will produce the new Claas Xerion 12 650, both Wiking and Weise are exhibiting, Or even Universal Hobbies, I never realised they all came under the Holland Oto banner https://www.agritechnica.com/en/exhibitors-products#/search/f=cat_77B49342-E00C-ED11-812C-001DD8B71C25;v_sg=0;v_fg=0;v_fpa=FUTURE https://www.hollandoto.nl/brands/?lang=en Regards Joe -
Cheers Andy, Regards Joe.

Theres never a day goes by but what someone comes up with some new process or other, This spiral effect might look like a cheap gimmick but apparently useing specific filaments these prints can be used as artificial muscles, which I guess could be really useful in certain medical situations, Regards Joe.

Mastenbroek 20/15 Land Drainage Trencher 1:32
catkom3 replied to Stabliofarmer's topic in Other Conversions & Scratch Builds
Most of it is done, the last bit will be the most difficult to sketch / print as that is the two track frames which are very complex because of the shapes and contours, plus the lower idler bogies, this photo will give you an idea of what I'm doing, The current biggest dozer in the World at 115tons and 900 HP, and yes a Cat D11 is smaller, One of these is working in a sand quarry only 12 miles from me. At 85tonne without blade and ripper it's the perfect load for the MarGe Nooteboom dolly low loader. Regards Joe. -

Thank you James, Very early stages yet, but I'm going to try to have my tensioner functional useing the springs from BIC pens, or maybe the springs on electric drill motors depending how much force would be needed. Regards Joe.. -
I think limegreen is referring to the fact the Britains version has "stepped" mud guards, and a shorter bonnet,but none of the real tractors have that, they are all square, Regards Joe.

What a fantastic piece of work James, You must have the patience of a Saint, After makeing the track pads for my Stalinetz crawler I figured instead of doing holes at either ends of the chain links, holes at one end and "dimples" at the other would make printing and assembly easier, And it does, currently working on the large machine right now, At some point you'll need tensioners for you trencher, something I have just sketched up myself today, Here are a couple of screen grabs I took to see what you think, Obviously dimensions to your own spec, Regards Joe. -

catkom3 replied to Tractorman810's topic in General Hobby Discussion
Sorry James, I just checked E-bay what with VAT etc, But yes I see what you mean about the other Defenders far better finish and a decent price, might take some time to arrive from China though. Regards Joe. -

I discovered this new technique in Cura late last night and sketched up a big bale earlier, i did incorporate six grooves for the strings, but the Fuzzy Skin has filled them in a bit, a handy option for doing hairy animals I guess, but I reckoned it would work well on bales, straw in particular and think it turned out well, I would then use elasticated thread as the string,E-bay £ 2.99 for 50 mtrs, Fuzzy Skin video,,, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ApNNEEit5A Elasticated thread, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200817106689?hash=item2ec1a1df01:g:MrIAAOSwOWdimGkh&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8HmfxGL%2BV%2FjRzHuclvJsABUn7YRYK80Qtus1dWu4d5UN2vbrC4kJ90%2FKnLhy1V2TPS6s6ZGXKQ7QtO4%2Bb9ZhXaHSC%2BcO%2FmeLbYdBYObhb3dD3mlI6TvGhJ2jv4tjEa1ya6uti76oML9%2BglBg57rTOnZFghINKXDWub1U3UOJN25RTNalGV8zkYq%2B35MRIMB9VyL5S7MY6kb7kRCknRhh8Lvq%2FPetvhZjXimFM4fjhOM%2F9pyrYOFmZcBL6DoArOk%2BMs2qJhHbXumi3enGPU4ZN93gi9Kyc4vtGK1ckPF6XJirCg3sp4Dqub7xbjP0SODWcg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7CY1_inYQ Regards Joe.

cult's is one of the better .stl hosting sites Simon, But you'll find a wider choice on Yeggi, Also not everybody uses the term " Wheel " some folk prefer " Rims ", And if you have more money than sense Shapeways have loads of 3D files, But at a price, https://www.yeggi.com/q/rims/ https://www.shapeways.com/marketplace?type=product&q=rims Regards Joe.
