IH885XLMAN Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 thats lovely BOR just one thing bothers me with the reverse drive did farmers who use reverse drive mode reverse the rear wheels like in the "real deal" pic and would you consider reversing your reae wheel tyres im suprized these diddnt catch on around here as it must have been cheaper than a self propeled machine and the reverse drive tractor had so many more uses i would have thought where they much more dearer than the standard fent tractor if so how much also what was the preformance like stacked up against a self propeled harvester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B O R Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 i think they,d be considerably dearer with reverse drive,this neighbour ran that outfit for 14years only updating the forager last year...the performance would be very similar to a trailed sh40 as there based on them,actually pretty much same machine so good performance but not in league of spfh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denis086 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 brilliant build one questiion though what sort of pick up hitch is on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painter Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Seen this in the flesh today,stunning work,as were the rest of brians foragers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 the pick up hitch on front is a simple a frame with hook,this area will need attention when converting the fendt,removing the front links maybe and making a pick up hitch,had to concentrate on the forager for the show so didnt get much time at the fendt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeredriver Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 What a fantastic model well done i used to run POETINGER rev drive on the back of a valmet 8750 rev drive had the front tires turned around for traction couldnt get the same output as the self propeled guys but the year i ran it it was wet as hell and i could go places a self propeled count touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 That is great conversion you have made there. Looks if it is from UH. But the fendt isn't from UH Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 thanx for all the kind comments,i am well pleased at how it turned out myself,had a few very long days last week as i only started it tue and wanted it for sat,s show...thanx to intey for the loan of the weise toys(made a mistake before,thought it was uh) fendt 824 as i dont as yet have one in my fendt collection(what a model by the way)........i will be doing one of these for myself and think i might have a tractor in mind id like to display it with,one for the future!!!!! another thanks to Noel for the lend of the redrock trailer built by Martin(quality of this model was astonishing,id say it is perfect)... So between the helpful forum members who share my passion we recreated the outfit my neighbour ran trouble free for 14/15 years,speaks volumes about the reliability and quality of fendt tractors and indeed the reco mengele forager,they seem to just keep chopping dont they???
