Deere-est Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Wow that's really good mate. Very nice so far. You could be a great contender for the next Scratch Build / Conversion Competition if this is anything to go by. If you want any info on the real one pm Jez. He used to work at John Deere UK training technicians on combines & now works at Mannheim for John Deere and makes the training literature for the JD Combines worldwide I believe.

Deere-est Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Are you working from brochures or a real machine near your home? I take it underneath is a UH Fendt? Will you use the same header or modify a Britains one? It looks really good, a very nice shape it's taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 By the looks of that it's a Claas Tucano as the base for it Tris \ looking good so far Matty Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. I saw the red wheels and thought Fendt but it could well be the Claas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
