NCC Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Heres a little something I knocked up last night and this morning. I've been meaning to do one for a while now, but couldn't decide which tractor to mount it on Anyway it's a Britains Massey Ferguson 6290 with a few little extras a like UH wheels, beacon, SMV triangle and front cradle for hedge cutter head. The hedge cutter itself is a UH SMA Puma 2050 with the boom section and the slewing rams mounted on the side and the base, oil reservoir etc mounted on the rear. Just added a few hoses to that, thats all ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEBRITFARMER Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Looks awesome Nath, but I didn't want it mounted on a Massey :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Looks fantastic NCC and on a quality tractor too. I take it the oil rsevoir and all the gubbins would have to be remade if it were to fit on the left hand side? It does look smart though and so does the tractor itself with the subtle changes. Hope you have some wheel weights to go on there?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you have some wheel weights to go on there?!! Cheers D-E, Yes the oil res etc would all have to be moved over to the right, so to help counter balance the boom I would of thought. Wheel weights are on the way ;) stroke of luck finding that hedge in a black box nath , oh & yer flails need sharpening by the looks of the job it's done nice looking massey nath did you modify it yerself ? & that trimmer looks the part ,is it easily detatched ? & is a wider head available ? very nice set that :) Cheers Marcus, you never know where you'll find a hedge Marcus, this was found on the open cast ;) I added the hedge cutter and the likes. The beacon, SMV and UH wheels where already on it when I bought it off ebay though Unfortunately the hedge trimmer is stuck solid where it is, couldn't be bothered to screw it , so will have to go and buy a new Massey for silage carting this year. I don't think there is any bigger heads for it no, could do with one though as it's a little small \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 very nice nath but why is it on the right is it for the french set up cos the english one are normaly mounted on the left theres one down here in kent mounted on an7820 jd ?? I'll try and answer this for you 1/32 farmer...... ;) Nath's used the Universal Hobbies Hedge-Cutter (probably from the Renault) for this convo and the way this hedge cutter is set up is for the continent so has to be mounted this way......To mount it on the other side would require a fair bit of work on the main body of the cutter I think...... :) Am I right Nath?
