civilpek Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 id go with the loader Sean defidently maybe mafe it a smaller quicke version, that tractor would look very well feeding round bales out in a field with a round feeder or something or the likes.

Tractorman810 Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 i do have an old britains auto way one to make a quickie,but may well go for a factory fergy one,as i have 2 spare reds to,just got to decide really, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap enough to modify too good to learn on just in case of expensive mistakes ........I have a 2wd version of the 4260, actually gareth did it for me ages ago, fat wheels ... 595 DRW type not thin 595 or 6600 wheels , looks ok but yours looks better with a better cab....... a loader would be nice...........Tim do a MF with a loader I have one of them too , perhaps that could be played with and improved??

Tractorman810 Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 i nearly got the siku one to be honest as i didn't see this one till i got to the till,worth the cash for a convo ,i have seen them put on a 6290 chassis to,the bonnets,but thats to big for the real tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 nice work there sean going to try & keep the wheels fromthe tim fergie & try to graft it to a britains chassis like 72 did or a siku renault creres for the hitch , i thought about the siku deutz 4.70 but am reluctant to break a decent model \ the only trouble i can see with it is the same i had with my 3680 convo & thats the bonnet is a different shade of red to the rear wings , just like you had trouble matching the drills for your 4 meter convo \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 yeah it is slightly lighter,but i think i may be able to overcome that as the fergy paint i have is a little lighter,i have 2/3 of the rear arches so will try a set out, i have also got the basics of the front loader fitted now,just need to make the rams for the tipping part, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 i managed to fit the tims 42 body onto the deutz chassis like 72 did but i'm not over happy with it so will keep it on the tims chassis for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 my convo skills arn't up to much but havn't worked out how to fix the cab end to the chassis without butchering it , & part of me doesn't want to wreck the deutz chassis i've had it since a kid & i think sentiment is getting in the way \ i'll post this & then attatch a pic if i can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 i managed to keep the tim fitting in the bonnet by drilling a hole through the deutz chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
