Spiekker; S.J.B. Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 This is the project I'm working on, at the moment. It's going to be a Landini 8860. It's for a builders challenge of the Dutch forum. The base of this tractor is a McCormick CX. The enginehood, mudguards and muffler are built by some members of the Dutch forum, who've made the prototype too. The linkage is a converted PMA #4. The tractor will get a frontloader, which i will build completely self. The portal gears, which Landini uses will be made by me too. In the back there will be a big weight.

Johny mf Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Looks promising Sjoerd Stil a lot of work to do on it! When must the model be ready? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiekker; S.J.B. Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 @Johny: November, at the LCN show, but I hope it will be ready this summer ;-) I've got an update for now. Three tractors, all from Italy 2/3 in blue: The tractors are a 8860, a X550 (I'm not sure about the type yet, probably a 6550) and a Massey Ferguson 3X7 series.

Spiekker; S.J.B. Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Rest of the pics: The X550 and the 3X7 will get a converted Valtra C chassis. Landini used portal gears, the Valtra C hasn't, so I think I've to make a mold, for these axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reqen Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 well done, spiekkerSJB. Best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiekker; S.J.B. Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Thanks! I hope the will be as nice as your MF/EBRO's ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 looking good so far, as for the landini, have you considered using one of the uh zetors as a chassis base?? one of those(can't remember what one) has the off set rear axel drive units on as standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiekker; S.J.B. Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 No I did not, never thought of a Zetor (8441 you mean?) having portalgears. (That's basically because I don't have one) Thank you for the advice Sean! Just 2.5mm to short for the 8860! (And that would mean the X550 and the 3X7 couldn't be built on this chassis) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 it could be that one, know one has them as i took one apart for something, think its the front linkage one , shame its a bit short, would have saved you lots of time then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiekker; S.J.B. Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 There could be another solution: make a cast in resin (or white metal) of the back (or just the axles) of the Zetor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
