saw this today for the first time, all i can say is that is massive!! How much power would you need to run one of these in reality?

ive got the dealer edition with duals must say its a top model so i was looking forward to seeing this wee beast with the chunky tyres. looks like they finally might be getting closer with the tyres on their models :

mighty impressive... some $$ in that lot.. looks like they dont do much work? everythings so clean :D

ohhh shiny things *runs like a girl towards a jewlery store*

tempting! may have to take a tape measure along to the fieldays coming up

:D :D

pretty sure its a tube wrapper, for round or square bales not sure? For wrapping bales into long tubes rather than individually much like this: http://www.wheat-belt.com/hay-bale-wrappers.htm and a baby one:

cool thanks guys. will look good alongside the 8630

anyone got any more pics or info on this model? National farm toy show model for 2007? http://www.modelbarn.co.nz/product_info.php?cPath=60_61&products_id=732

i sure recognise the two modified beasts, cant wait till fieldays in june to see them in action!

wow, hope so!!

are you talking utility type or larger? id go for a NH tm125. plenty of grunt for heavier work, not as versatile but would still take a loader ok.

you could modify it to have a side chute, then run alongside with another lawn tractor andmini silage trailer marky could roll the stack with fanny!!

oh great pics, what a lovely old beast. whats she like to drive mate? ive always wanted a go on one

the paint isnt of quite as good a quality as i would like ill spray the next ones, just need to figure out an easy way to put them together so i can spray the tricky bits first

took some pics of it all painted today. this and another identical is off to nick. It looks a little far away from the tractor cos its designed to fit the britains hitch, which needs it to be a mile away from the frame of the rake so you can actually get it on the hitch arms. looks good on a britains tractor tho. i apologize for the quality, the other halfs camera is ****!!!

shes a beast cheers boy Ill have to make something like that for sure.. Althought the shithouse britains hitch cant even hold the rake up

you drunk plenty of waikato mate thats all that matters.

Good pics mate, i know what you say about those things being uncomfortable. Did many hours on a 5150, its was hell on the body, esp hitting unseen holes...

nearly, should have more pics in the next day or so

I too have only seen these trailers on the forum, not common in nz. Im guessin its so that you can get up onto the stack and dump without worrying about the trailer toppling over on the uneven surface? correct?

i reckon it would feel ***** at first driving the tractor with no front wheels. Id keep looking down and going "ah my wheels have gone" and expect to go toppling forward onto its nose

looks like you had a ball marky well done lad. what else do you use fanny for? Looking at and daydreaming mostly?
