Paul Palmer Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Looks good paul, I like the idea of a maize scene that isnt going to show clamping on a farm without any livestock, destroys the reality of it a bit. thanks pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi pual where did you get the maize from and what did you use for in the trailers from ebay ,heres the linkhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290501146914&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT the maize in the trailers is a mix of scatter from mandy (hlt) and very fine mdf dust mixed,so i didnt have to buy loads of scatter,i filled the trailer first with a cut section of insulation,like selletex,hope that helps paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Ferguson Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Looks brilliant, Paul - did you do the 'muddy' tractor tyres yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Looks brilliant, Paul - did you do the 'muddy' tractor tyres yourself? i did mandy,i just pulled the tractor through the filler to leave tyre marks,the filler stuck to the wheels ,so i just sprinkled on your scatter and it sticks to the filler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I like it mate, like it a lot. I would say though, given the mud on the tyres you could maybe make some ruts in the field? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 2 more,the mf 8450 is only there for display,i am waiting for a claas arion 640 to draw the 2nd trailer, the mf will stay on the claas baler,the other trailer is pulled by a fendt 818 okay,heres the update,mf 8450 back on the claas baler,the 640 arion hauling maize,im replicating what happens at work,i think i said before that we contract grow maize,so other people come in with a forager and there tractors,only perhaps one or two of our tractors actually haul ,so this update is more accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
