JC Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I was going to make one of those myself, would need a good 500hp to pull it though I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 is it for drilling rape seed direct? if its for cereal crops you could maybe do with making the hopper a little bigger like a vaderstad or simba. it looks really good, need a big cat on the front and ya sorted.

FB Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 why do you have the wheels backwards on there?, does it benefit with traction as to the normal way ??? Looks good Ricky, keep it the same colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, ha ha!, Its for sowing 1/32 stuff ;D ;D ;D Its volume is not much smaller than the ACCORD drill, I'll do a water fill test to see the difference why do you have the wheels backwards on there?, does it benefit with traction as to the normal way ??? Looks good Ricky, keep it the same colour Wheels aren't fixed permant yet, so no reason to their direction just yet. - I have a 2 point linkage on the front, might change it to a longer drawbar to suit the challengers or the ERTL John Deere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 many manufacturers put ag wheels on backwards these days but unless the wheel is driven the self cleaning aspect isn't an issue so it makes no difference which way they're put on though it has been proved that the tread does last longer when the wheels are reversed, there are a few contractors round here that have reversed their front wheels for this reason . funny you lot picked up on this but not ians west spreader very good convo you have there Ricky :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Nice Ricky :D great work mate, must have taken some time to put together Would need my big Fendt on triples to pull the beast though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I was going to make one of those myself, would need a good 500hp to pull it though I would think. if it was min-till direct drilling ,do you really think it would need 500hp F-P ? as the promo pic shows a magnum pulling a centaur . Nice Ricky :D great work mate, must have taken some time to put together Would need my big Fendt on triples to pull the beast though tripples would only spread the weight not necessarily give it more traction udi.

They say it requires close to 300HP to pull the centaur, add the drill on the back, the restriction the coulters will create and the power required to run the drill and I wouldn't be too surprised. \ (This is coming from someone with no expertease in these matters!)

MJB1 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 i would expect ground conditions to play a big part in that desision as well F-P ,but i dare say you're rightabout powering the drill . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MODELFARMER Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 amazone i think, unless anyone knows a different brand who make that type of thing (that would sell) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 i'd keep it original as the decals are already there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Not as easy as that, the whole thing will be painted, it's impossible to for example paint the hopper the same green and get it to match and look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Go for Vaderstad Ricky, could pass it as a topdown and bio-drill then ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Looks good ricky and if my thinking is right if gonna spend that much on a drill it would be hydraulic powered not by PTO just a comment i would want hydraulics not PTO and i reckon the norscot MT765 will pull that quite happily will sing when in heavy patch but otherwise should be fine as dont need to run it that deep if direct drilling for rape etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
