Valley Axe Man Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 The last Doe tractor in the collection started life looking pristine.......... but then after a little abuse and quite a bit of skill by Dan Higgins of Oranda design with his airbrush i ended up with one in "Barn find condition" It's a standard Power Major triple D under all the rust and grime 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Next up are the winch tractors of Valley Timber Services, A UH super 4 and Power major both with scratchbuilt winches. Its a rough life in the woods 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 A Trio of big booted Super majors, the white one standard UH apart from a front weight and power steering, the other two are recent convo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Next up a Pre-force Ford 4000, and a Deluxe cabbed Ford force 4000, alot of cutting went into these models, as the starting point were a pair of redundant 5000s, the rear wheels being a challenge putting the 5000 wheel centre dish in the Power major outer rim but it makes for a pair of models that aren't available off the shelf Edited January 27, 2013 by Valley Axe Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 The collection is also home to a pair of Deluxe Cabbed 5000s, one on bigger boots, the other on standard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
