    Agritechnica 2023

    in General Discussion / Off topic discussion & Everything Else

    Posted

    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.

    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

    i have to say that they do look very nice, and despite being way to new for my collection normally i may well get one, does any one know if they have more than just the silage fork on them? buckets or pallet tines ect ?

    Looks like there may be other buckets comeing according to farmmodels nl Sean,

    Sounds like an interesting project Joe, you'll have to keep us updated on here!

    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.

    Many thanks for the kind words.

    That's a great idea with the tracks Joe, much faster and neater than all the wire pins. These undercarriage have a tensioner built in that will get glued 'tense' once painted.

    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.

    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,

    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.
