Na SMurf,nothing intricate,just the same setup they already have on their front loaders,don't yet know if they work,as I don't need a loader,yet ,but I.m sure I'll need one before to long. Regards Joe.

Good thinking,I forgot about the PTO,that would be fairly simple to, Regards Joe.

Hi Lexion580,did you ever finish this plough,I,ve just ordered one and was wondering what your's looked like finished, Regards Joe.

That's looking really good Pete,what are the wheels off, Regards Joe.

Universal Hobbies make really well detailed agricultural model's,implements with all the hydraulic rams/hoses and everything,tractors with all their lights mirrors etc,how difficult would it be to put plugs/sockets on both the tractors and the implements so we could actually "attach" both machines together,anybody else think this a good idea,everything is already there,just needs a plug/coupling ??. Regards Joe.

Geoff at Top Tractor has them http://www.toptractor.org.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=989&Itemid=26 Regards Joe.

Hi Dave,you might be interesed in some of the stuff here http://www.accurate-armour.com/showaaproducts.cfm?category=4&subcategory=33,1/35th mind but that's pretty close, Regards Joe.

Is this a new 1/32nd scale Ford 5000 from UH or is it 1/43rd you can see it on Agrar's slideshow here http://agrartoy-spielwarenmesse-2009.agrartoy.imageloop.com/en/index.htm Regards Joe.

That Discover XL will look real good behind my 8330 Regards Joe

The Surgical spirit worked then Regards Joe.

The mesh on the grill is laser etched brass,I think prodding it with a pin would stretch it and burst it,but thanks for the comments Ziko Glad I've got you thinking Nick, Regards Joe.

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.
