WHAT!!! you are the marster of 5000 convos, i was thinking a 555 back end might work

Here are a couple of pics from a loacl company, they made these for drain cleaning and working on hills, based on a ford 5000,

I have a couple more if you want floks

i snaped this today, ill have more pics on monday

It was in Ashburton.

Glad you all liked them, they were less popular with my girlfriend however!

Ohh yeah i know what thats like, when we went down south i took 55 photos,only 10 wernt machinery

Looking good mark, i might have to do the same to my dualed wheeled one

a picture of the 2 styles I am making the one on the right is due to be exported when it's finished

Looking good mate

She is a nice bit of kit, i saw the 1st 2 pics on a machine forum last night, only thing i can  see that is case is the cab, i doubt that any thing else is case, 600hp  would proberly be 2 much hp for standadrd case components, at a guess she is pulling about 900mm deep like we do in nz,intresting that they arnt  putting drainge metal down with it,

Wow they are nice machinces, they look stuanch

where in nzwas the 8*** jd? she looks sweet

looks really good mate, was  it simple to do?

Sweet pics mate, nice to see the machine i saw parked up finaly doing some work gutted i didnt get a chance to come down 

Wow she looks the muts nuts mate, she suits the chelly down to a dime also

Wow she looks nice, was it hard?

De-install it and load AVG free ... I use it on all my PC's and it's great - it's got an automatic update procedure as well... Not so "ram resident" or whatever the geeky expression is these days

How did that anoy you marky? sounds help full to me, ( i use AVG and its realy good)

Looks good, but it boggles my mind why they didn't slap a diesel engine in it...surely the diesel would have more torque than the gasoline? 

: Timmy Timmy in the first line of the first pic it has gasolene, diesel and lpg,

I smell a numpty here

looks good mate, markey will nee one of these

looks  like that poor old girl wont  see another harvest, she mite live on in another machine,

She looks simlar to a 720, are they much diffrent?

look really good there gav

My case dealer hate it when i se this stuff, there are a few items in there i have 2 get 

that slurry wagon is just a re painted samson ant it

...I'm thinking a bit like a giant strimmer where centrifugal force straightens the chains out which whirl round...sounds odd though.

Here is what they are mate

Some did have a row of chains hanging in the front, these chains stopped the grass or whatever was being swiped from being blown forward onto the back of the tractor, some were fitted with a row of hanging hinged metal plates that did the same. I put 3 blades on the plate as it was simpler to do, some had a square plate with 4 blades like a disc mower, some had a round plate like a disc with 4 blades, others had just 3 heavy chains fitted to a sort of hub, these were for more rough cutting like scrub and gorse then there were others fitted with just a long flat single wide heavy blade. the gearbox was basicly a pulley drive very much the same as the bolt-on tractor pulley that Fergy and David Brown made but adapted for these swipes. When larger swipes ant toppers came into being they were fitted with a double cutting arrangement and of course there is the flail type. The pivoting wheel on the back could be raised or lowered to help level the machine and to aid the cutting height to a certain extent, these were usualy metal or a lot of like conveyer belt sections fixed together in the round, a pneumatic tyre was not usualy used as the wheel took a lot of punishment.
