bluegreen Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Well sort of a Dutch harrow .....................basically I needed an implement that looked like it could have been about in the early 90s to go behind the TW25. As sugarbeet drilling is due to start on March 20th I had to put a rig together quickly that would leave a nice tilth for the beet drill. Enter the Greg Besson "Precilitor" a 4metre folding cultivator with the right combination of tines and soil mixers...................OK so the rear roller type cage wheels are a new design but the rest of it could have been about 20 yrs ago ....................trying to create the right tools for the desired timeline requires some "Artistic license" .............anyways a lot of weathering and removal of modern decals makes it look well dated.

Paul Palmer Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 nice work Phil,i take it that is the marge tw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Yes its the TW25 and it is miles better than the UH version ........Ive put wheel weights on the front to improve the look of the wheels and they replicate one of the local farmers TW25s when I was younger. Theres rear wheel weights to be added once the duals are off it and some more weathering to be done etc Henri has done a nice job on the numberplate as well. I will put up pics of the tractor when its properly finished...........................I must get some nicer duals at Spalding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 That does look nice Phil. Actually those crosskill rolls on the back of the Grégoire are quite old and have been around for ages so it could have been twenty years no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Yes Niels, when I think about it Stanhay webb did have cage wheels on some configuations of their vegetable seed drills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
