Geoffrey Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hi guys Its been a while since i posted here. So its time for an update i guess. If been working on a Veenhuis VVT400 self propelled slurrytank. It is quite a complex machine with a lot of small details. I'm working on it for over a month now in my spare time. The Veenhuis is completely scratch build out of poly and PVC pipes. There machine is one of a kind. Veenhuis build one for a special customer. It was build around the 1995 an has a New Holland FX cab and controls. Its not painted in the Veenhuis colors but in the company colors of contractor M. Den Ouden from Holland. A photo of the 1:1 machine. I only have bad quality photos since there wore taken in the 90's. The didn't have digitalcamera's back than. The photos are from www.agrifoto.com And an picture taken 30min ago. Still need to build a lot of details on there and I'm not sure jet how I'm going to make the back hitch. I don't have any photos of the back of the machine. I'm thinking about using a Imber models front hitch. I'm using a cab of a NH FX from britians. And a older photo with the NH FX cab on the platform. The paint is drying at the moment, i painted the cab today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Wow, that's an absolute beast of a self propelled tanker your building Geoffrey, great to see your talented work on here again, can't wait to see it finished.

Deere-est Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Two more topics on conversions? I can't wait. . good to see you back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 I'll try to get my new project on line later tonight Tris A little update for today. I finlay got the steering axles, So i fitted them on the chassis. Only need to make some small stuff and i can prime the chassis. The cab is in the colors now. Look pretty sweet already. The VVT can all so work in crab mode ( is that the right word? ) The cab steers with the axles so the cab is always in line with the direction of travel. Pretty cool feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 was then going to ask the same Tris that's simply stunning work so far, makes my stuff look amateurish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Thanks guys! I don't know what wheels these are. I bought a couple of them at the LCN event in Zwolle from a french man. The are the same size as the big flotation tyres from Robert Peters, Only real rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 So they are custom made, not from another model? They look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 So they are custom made, not from another model? They look great. I believe the come of some sort of toy monstertruck. the are only €5 a pair. I just painted the chassis red, The tank is fully painted and details, Only need to make some hydraulik lines on the fillingarm and add some small details.
