NCC Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Looking good Marcus, are you planning on making anymore ;) The packer on the back would leave holes in the seed bed?? tidy model that mjb,will it stay an amazone?

Guest Fendt pwr Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Cheers for that,I've seen that roller in the farmer weekly and often wondered why you would want a finish like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Not quite, our amazone packer roller has those spikes but is made from steel, like not squashy like said on that site. There is a reason but i canny mind what . . . \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Looking good Marcus, now you'll have to make one of those drop-flat low loader trailers with the axle at the rear. Know what I mean? There have been a couple made on here somewhere I think. The packer is made like that to help retain moisture in the seed bed and stop soil erosion through wind as far as I know.

MJB1 Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 Looking good Marcus, are you planning on making anymore ;) not sure ,i've still got to tidy this one up yet, \ the next time i may just bolt two 3mtr sets together it looks pretty good from a distance but as deer-est will tell you you can still see all the cut marks & glue :D very nice marcus,how long did it take you to do that then? approx 3 1/2 hrs so far Looking good Marcus, now you'll have to make one of those drop-flat low loader trailers with the axle at the rear.
