Tractorman810 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 well after the lely and a couple of weeks off, i have got back to the board again ,been after a good old trailed beet harvestor for a while now, so decided on something different to a combine build ( although i am drawing the next one out at the same time ) so went for another challange. havnt got to far so far, this is about 2 hrs work, and needs filling ect yet on the tank, all pretty basic stuff so far so not taxing at all. that comes with the webs and pick up parts later on, but going by pics these dont look to hard either. draw bar moves as per the real one to allow the pick up to swing out tank on tank tipped (not its final position mind) front view of the draw bar positions transport working 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 That included a plaster shopping trip in the middle to joe :laugh just found out that I have run out of ram materials so the tank tips going to wait or I make one from ally and plastic, but with luck I will get some more done to the tank loading area and the cleaning parts today , plan is to work from the tank back that way with luck it will all drop into place , when you look at the pics there's not actually anything that hard about the machine it just looks more complicated , I could have cone for a more covered standen or ransoms but that's cheating, and I have something else planned later on ransomes wise anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 it is a good job mate, amazingly i got the basic tank size right height and width wise before i got them just from drawing it out, but as we discussed i did re build it shape wise today ,its just setting in place befor i take some more pics, once you pointed it out to me i saw it there and then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 well get to it barry, may as well be 2 than one after all mate well heres the new tank profile ,the unloading sides been angled in more, ans the opposite side straightened up .with angles put lower down , hadnt noticed the issue from the pics i have because they are from angles so it doesnt really show, but our gav let me know, also put 1 ram in place, however i have run out so order placed on ebay, for 6 more, also a set of drills as i am wondering if the plasti strut and ally rod may be a better option old profiles on the right back end missing its ram which means it swings in at present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Are you in need of a second copy of all those pictures I have Sean Looking good so far, personal thoughts are that the tank looks like it might be a bit on the large side for a Cheetah though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 will let you know gav having a good hunt tommorrow [ [ as for the tank, it does seem to scale in with pics i have, when its on the uh ford 7810 like a pic i have, the main tank tops level with the tractors cab top same as the shot, the front plate may still be a bit to tall mind i must confess width wise and chassis position wise ect it all seems to line up with the meassurements i have from you mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
