Only a couple of pictures from iBidder/bidspotter - not much to go on. Agrimanuals.com, here in Cornwall, are usually very good but they only have the bale carrier and grab brochures at the moment.

Thank you Ian, the first picture is the exact one I was looking for…..I’ve searched and searched and that image hasn’t come up for me!

something to work with 👍

Hello!

Does anybody have any information on a Chillington 8 bale accumulator?

My Dad used one in the late 70's/80's and I'd like to replicate one......problem is.....no information on the interweb!

I can only find info about a Chillington 56 bale transporter, that's not what I'm looking for.

The Chillington 8 bale accumulator would collect the bales horizontally (as apposed to say a Cooks that collects them vertically).

They were rubbish evidently 😂🙃 but it's something I'd like to make in 1/32 scale.....at some point!  

Thanks in advance.

Hello......and welcome.......I also speak English well, and my spelling is sometimes rubbish!!

He he.....FARTING POINT!

Super update

Well done Joe, you must be extremely satisfied with what you've achieved.

The fact that you've managed to have the tilting cab is fantastic.

Beautiful work Ian

That looks huge!

(That's what she said)

AVR Puma 4.0

Looks interesting

Superb detail Ian, think one will come my way

I still need to paint the Teagle fert spreader!!

Very nice.

Beautiful work Ian

Thank you, I finally remembered 'universmini.com' last night after reading Sean's reply.

I went hunting in my spare box again and found some wheels from a Horsch drill.

I have a pair of the Vaderstad wheels I bought from 'farmmodelspares.co.uk' years ago, I need 4 though!

I will use the Horsch tires and make my own rims to suit.

The Vaderstad wheels are 23mm 

The Horsch wheels are 25mm, I'm sure it won't be noticeable!!

Beautiful work once again John, JCB is fantastic

Before I unbox and hack my Vaderstad Rapid to bits for wheels, would anyone have 2 wheels available for me to purchase??

As per the image below.

Fantastic work, well done

Is it worth going to?

Yes, Chartres is a nice little town too!

The show was packed, with lots to see, I walked around 4 times and kept seeing new things.

Lots to purchase with some bargains to be had.

Well worth a visit.

Has anyone ever travelled to Chartres? 

Looking at going this year but the info available online is scant enough.

 

 

I went last year.

Flew into Paris and got the train to Chartres.

I stayed in a hotel on the outskirts of the town, it was a 20-minute walk to the venue and another 20-minute walk into the town (I enjoy walking!)

I've not seen the date for this year's show yet.

Excellent 👍

Very nice, great work

Very nice.......do you have to cut the sunroof out yourself, or are they manufactured that way??

Wiking John Deere 7R would be nice to see

Amazing piece of work Barry, Just love the Neodinium magnet extension, I guess you gave up on the 3D printed idea.

Regards

Joe.

Thank you.

No........3D printer bought and up and running with some other projects on the go.

Will take a while before I can master the art of 3D software to draw the furrows how I want them!!
