Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Can anyone post any pictures of a front mounted wrap carrier that isn't based around a front linkage. I'm going to make one this week for the front of the 6530 so I can carry at least 5 boxes of wrap on the front of the tractor. I need it to somehow fit over the weights. Any suggestions/ideas greatly recieved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I expect it's a frame that would line up with the holes in the tombstone where front linkage side plates would bolt in, Luke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Just been on the case at work today, going to make a start tomorrow, its going to be based around the front weight and stay in place using the pin through the holes in the weight and sit in the weight holder on the tractor so it can't slip out. Just got to find some scaffold tube for the holders. Also i'm going to put some round pipe on the edges and bend it in to a curve for nudging bales. Should hold 6 rolls if all goes well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 You'll still need to be able to open the bonnet up Luke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Yep still will be able to Ol, I've fitted the main frame bit today I'll post a picture tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhysmassey135 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Could you weld two straight bits coming up from the side of the weights frame.. then just stick the wrap over them? Tell me if it sounds stupid.. but all i can think of \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'm sorting it, going to have another bash again tomorrow evening if I have time, going to hold hopefully 6 box's of wrap, along with 3 on the wrapper and 1 in the holder, and one loose on the wrapper bed.

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Had a crack tonight at the wrap carrier. Opted just for 4 holders at the moment with room to expand Here's the base bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Then put the 4 holders in place And finally painted it. Then took it for an off-raod test with it full of wrap, and done a 40k lap up the road and it all seemed fine! Let me know your thoughts!

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Thanks lads If and when I want to expand, the idea is to have another bar lower down infront of the ones there already with another 4 on. See how it goes for the time being! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Thanks lads If and when I want to expand, the idea is to [glow=red,2,300]have another bar lower down infront [/glow] of the ones there already with another 4 on. See how it goes for the time being! That will make it properly pedestrian friendly!!! Great idea though, well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Nice Enen though its not wider than wheels I's paint the outside few inches yellow?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Nice Enen though its not wider than wheels I's paint the outside few inches yellow?? Was thinking that myself Ricky. It might well happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 i was just thinkin wat does the roll actually sit on ? is it the box tube ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Nice Enen though its not wider than wheels I's paint the outside few inches yellow?? I'd agree with that, a good point. It looks great Luke, simple too and nice that it fit's around the front wieghts, instead of. Also nice to see the headlights are not obstructed. All in all Luke, pretty damn good. If you can and have time, fit some innertube cuttings around the frame so it doesn't mark the paintwork of the tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 looks good luke, like others have mentioned paint the ends yellow, or put some black/yellow hazzard tape on, and dont hit any bumps to quick, wouldnt want to have one pop of the pole would you :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 You'd have a job bouncing one of they off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I'd hate to see the size of the bump you'd need to hit to bounce a roll of wrap off that Sean :D Tidy work though Luke, not too high to lift the wrap on and off either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05rich Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 after seeing this topic i could not resist so i had 5 minuets spare time and this is the result it is not that wide its just the camera that makes it look like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Looks good. Couple of questions, first is that a Leyland or Marshall on front of the Deere baler and secondly do you have pictures of more of the fleet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Cheers chaps, Tris thats a good idea, Next rainy day i'll have a bash at that Sean a box of wrap weighs about 25kg I would have to drive over some fairly big bumps for the wrap to come off And thanks for the nice comments Hazzard tape could be a plan too! Cheers Gav, prototype 1 had longer poles which were an issue for lifting on and off, so took a good 15 inches off the top of each one, and like you say easier to lift off now 05rich, the model looks good, glad i've inspired someone! Eurodeere, it is a Marshall 502 (I Think) and is used as a yard tractor for bringing machinery in to the workshop when the other 22 tractors are out in summer! For more pictures of the fleet check out my thread... http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=18326.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 i was just thinkin wat does the roll actually sit on ? is it the box tube ?? It sits on the box tube currenty, with the blue plastic rings to level the box out. I need to cut some more little bits of box out to put in between the poles really but thats quite time consuming in my line of work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
