B O R Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 KIDD....these were a very difficult little model to build,there is a terrible amount of shaping and a lot of nooks and crannies.every part was handmade.By far the most difficult double chop ive built to date...Its very hard to work out a forager price until you build one,there are many problems i come across that even i wouldnt imagine sometimes....By having one built then i know exactly what is entailed in every machine...

B O R Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 my next monster build is going to be 3 x JOHN DEERE 1365 mower conditioners with swathers....Ive an order for one ,and i know it,ll break my heart to give it away so im doing another for myself,and also a spare one..im currently studying the mower and its workings so im planning on having the models complete in a month or less......

Deere-est Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I expect the mower will be a beauty either way but the added autoswather will top it off really well, The 1360/5 was another popular machine round these parts, before Kuhn got busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurodeere Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 More great machines, well done. What's the difference between the Mk1 and Mk2 Kidd's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 well i havent studied the mark 12 yet,but the 1st most visable difference is the mark 2 has that deep flange at the front to which the rubber flaps underneath are attached,the mark 1 didnt have this..im sure there are more differences than that....
