Gav836 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ha ha, that has been a real head scratcher, I've got the catch made, just the mechanism to do (might have to cheat, i.e miss it off!!!!) You don't want to do that to much, you only have to look at Tris's hair style to see what happens when you scratch your head alot :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 That looks very intricate but beautifully built, and a bit different. Look forward seeing it 'working'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Wooooah!!! At least my hair line is still at the front of my head, Gav! :ha ha!: :ha ha!: :ha ha!: Barry this really is fine work mate and the trouble you have gone to on the research part of the project has really paid off in getting your model nigh on perfect, in a word so to speak :ha ha!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 That's nice, Barry. Real nice. Looks like a well thought out and finished model matey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Cheers Tris, need to finish the arm now and then choose a tractor for it to go on, will probably alter the tractors rear linkage to make it more realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 wow baz,looks like its come straight from the wiking factory,a really top build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 So, at the moment the plough will sit on a Wiking Fendt 828, but the linkage arms were to close together for the plough So I bend them into position with some pliers The universal attachment already taken off ready to be shaped Re-shaped and linkage arms fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Bit of paint added Had a go at making a Cat 3 linkage thingy Before After (not sure you can see it I also added a new top link arm, a turnbuckle thingy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Then onto the Plough press arm, the release mechanism electric supply (I assume it's electric supply!!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 This is really, really smart Barry. No mess, no heavy handed battering about..... You must be very patient both in the research and the building mate. This one small piece won't even look like a retro fitted part by the time you have finished.

Hicksy Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 That is fantastic Barry can't wait to see it all hooked up together , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 hells teeth barry, thats near on real looking, having just seen some stunning builds over zwolle, i have to say thats prob better than them inc the built self propelled harvestors we saw, it looks almost factory built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Nice job there Barry, its a hydraulic ram that sits in the end of the press arm to operate the release catch. I have mine plumbed into the turnover ram supply so I can pull the spool lever back to release the press and it then resets itself when I push the lever forwards at the headland to turn the plough over. Some people have it on a seperate line but my old tractor didn't have enough spools for that so done it this way, I have also seen it plumbed into the trailer brake connection so all you have to do is tap the brakes to release it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Not really an accurate bit done tonight, but I wanted the plough's standing leg to "work". Cut the leg off and glued some pins into the places I cut the leg off Trimmed the pins back Drilled some holes in the leg so it can sit on new rests Made sure one of the holes was in the correct place so the plough stands up right! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
