Aah, one o them,http://www.tractorshed.com/contents/tpic28257.htm Regards Joe.

Hi weenash,you need to get yourself one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110294169784&ru=http%3A%2F%2Ftoys.shop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fitems%2F_W0QQType28035aZFarmVehicles77b6cf71QQBrand3d75b67ZErtl211805QQScale4c0192aZ132172648QQ_dmptZUKQ5fToysGamesQ5fDiecastVehiclesQ5fDiecastVehiclesQ5fJN%3F_nkw%3D110294169784%2509%26_sacat%3D222%26_fromfsb%3D%26_trksid%3Dm270.l1313%26_odkw%3DCase%2BIH%2BSteiger%2B535%26_osacat%3D222%26_fvi%3D1 They've got eight brilliant tyres / wheels,just the job for your ZTX's Regards Joe.

I bought both these tractors last week,the ZTX is going on front of my Perard Enterbenne 25,but I didn't like the tyres / wheels,so I fitted the bigger wheels off the 535 STX,but they didn't look just right,so I cast new wheel centres useing the ZTX centres as a mould, Then I was watch Tillage 2007 on Horse & Country Channel 280 and saw a John Deere 8530 with GPS and the driver driveing it,turning at the headland,and cultivating,all with his hands on his head!!!,so I liked the look of that,but the precision is to dear and has that big heavy three point linkage,so I bought the 8330,cut the linkage off the front and swapped it with the weights on the front of my 8430T,the rest of which will be used in a future project Regards Joe.

Just taken some new photo's Regards Joe.

Nick,I think it would be damned near impossible to convert that into a Cat,the nearest equivalent would be the old D6 which is totally different,see some pictures here http://www.farmphoto.com/FPv2/thread.aspx?mid=633122#633122 Regards Joe.

Na,don't think a front hitch would work on a crawler,might put weights on,I think these will look good http://www.witomo.net/__Frontgewichthalter%20f%C3%BC%20r%20SIKU-Frontdreieck%20mit%2012%20einzelnen%20Gewichtsplatten%20aus%20Wei%C3%9F%20metall%20__5385_16.04.html# Regards Joe.

Yes Tractorman,I posted photo's of that and another one back in December,here's the link http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=24918.msg496876#msg496876 Regards Joe.

Aye,the tracks are original,a right pain in the ar$e I painted them with that Hycote smoke grey,and had to strip them as well,none to keen on putting Nitromorse on rubber,but it turned out fine, Regards Joe.

Hi guy's,been working on this for a few weeks now,did have it finished earlier but the original Hycote smoke grey paint just would not go off,had to strip it and paint it again,but now here it is,thanks to somebody in an earlier thread who mentioned it was a pity none of the model manufacturers produced a D6 Cat,which got me thinking,must be something out there that would do the job,that's when I spotted this Ros Fiat-Hitach dozer,the Överum plough on the back is a convo as well,normally on the back of my Fendt 936 along with the 4 furrow Överum I think I'll put the Gregiore Besson Precilitor on it once it's released,any comments always welcome, Regards Joe.

Nice job Johny,plenty mesh here http://www.ema-models.com/catalogue/0043-meshes.html Regards Joe.

There's one on there right now for £20 odd,still got nearly five days to go though http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190278829793&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm38.l1313%26_nkw%3D190278829793%2509%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1 Regards Joe.

According to SimTractor it's being released this Thursday the 15th,but I guess that's Europe,not The U K http://www.simtractor.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=239 Along with the TopDown and the Carrier, Regards Joe.

It's made by a company called Equaterre,a new French company !!,but have you seen some of the other stuff on that site,like the Sulky rotovator http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.agrimods.com%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26task%3Dview%26id%3D128%26Itemid%3D36&sl=fr&tl=en&history_state0= and the pictures from a French model show dated 06/01/2009 http://66.102.9.104/translate_c?hl=en&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http://www.agrimods.com/index.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26task%3Dview%26id%3D129%26Itemid%3D44&usg=ALkJrhiCsENxrVvenEWhbFLtbtDyFXDszw To see the Sulky rotovator you need to "click" on Herse rotative Cultiline HR Sulky 400-26 [updated 22/11/08] Looks like 2009 will be very expensive, Regards Joe.

I would like to see Universal Hobbies produce a model 1/32nd scale Knudson 4400 hillside 4WD tractor,with working self leveling hydraulic's they used to be produced in 1/64scale,but surely that licence agreement would be up by now !! Regards Joe.

Hi Johny,is that a Eurotrac in the back ground Regards Joe.

I'm likeing that high tipping trailer http://www.agrartechnik-im-einsatz.de/de/index.php?page=view_picture&id=321715#anker Regards Joe.

Cheers Bill,that's not to bad an idea,need to remember that Regards Joe.

Told you those front weights would finish it off,cracking piece of work Johny Regards Joe.

Vegemite AND peanut butter Eggcellent Joe.

Well.got the beast in bits,the tyres/wheels are absolute rubbish,I split one of the tyres just removeing them ,their HARD plastic,to think I paid £45-50 on it about Ten years ago , but,it should make a nice convo,only thing is there's nothing big enough to go on the back of it But like I said,it'll be 2009 before it's finished,better buy some Christmas pressies before I lash out on bits for this Regards Joe.

Hi Johny,thanks for that,I must have missed this when you posted it,I'll need to get the one with the twelve weights,I need 3cm. Regards Joe.

Cheers,bought it years ago,when the only alternative was Britains,but I never really liked it,actually I gave it away to my cousin,but got it back off him yesterday,now with all the various web sites selling spares I thought I'd have a go at "pimping it up" Regards Joe.

You should see the Lemken Zirkon http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?doit=done&tt=url&intl=1&fr=bf-home&trurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.guszmann.at%2Fbernhard.php&lp=de_en&btnTrUrl=Translate Regards Joe.

Hopefully in the New Year,I'll convert this into a proper tractor,rather than the big lump of diecast it is just now Regards Joe.

These guys fit in the STX 450 and the JD 9420T http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Carrera-21106-1-32-Spectator-Figures-for-Scalextric-etc_W0QQitemZ220319437577QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Toys_Games_Scalextrics_Slot_Cars_ET?hash=item220319437577&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1298|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 Regards Joe.
