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.

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

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.

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,

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

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

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.
