jdc Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Well the paint dried so I fitted this today. Still some detailing to do, latches, release cable etc. Now just got to make more attachments. Genuine MF red doesn't match UH red, no matter what colour primer I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Swing out sister!! That's ace, John What is the back wieght made of by the way? Did you make a mould for some fine sand and cement or something? Just to add, this is the kind of scratch building and converting that is worthy of the merit yet will always deserve more. Proper stuff John, time, enthusiasm and the ability to really change something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Like this bale handler attachment? Cheers Barry - gotcha all now. I've seen similar made by Taylors (?) and I think it had a wire to the pivot point for self levelling as it didn't have a tilt/crowd ram like your pic.

powerrabbit Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Terrific loader! If you want to see how to make a Perry loader for it, the one I made is posted up somewhere. Search 'some of Powerrabbits scratchbuilds' and it might come up, if not, just ask and I'll post up another picture. Try 'bale loaders' in the search as well.

Tractorman810 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 we used to have a modifiyed one of the perrys on a 3 point on the back to ,to save time just used to park the trailer up run back and forth with 2 loads, one dropped on the floor the loader one on the trailer and stacked, be surprised how much time it saved, as you never went to far with the trailer and you bought the bales in to it a lot quicker, last few loads where then very short ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm going to be thick here but we went from trailers to '21s' to 'flat 8s' with nothing between. Is the grip just mechanical from the pull on the wire as I'm assuming most loaders at that time didn't have a service up there.....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Well you made the wieght sound easy but it looks proper rustic, John. The paintwork on the loader is worthy of a mention too. Stunning, it's all just stunning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I've never known one without a hydraulic clamp on it, our old neighbour used to run one on a pre-force 5000 major with a trip loader on, he just had a pipe running from the trailer valve on the back all the way up the jib, then it had a spring to open it when the oil was dumped.... That 135 looks infinitely better than the standard now John, fantastic sir... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
