Light Land Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 True Rob,doesnt seem to be much interest,and some youngsters are giving the conversions a go,but no encouragement,you have to be a name on here to get any response,ive been saying this for ages,this forum is getting to much like facebook for my liking Agreed Paul and Rob, I'll not repeat what's been said again but for someone in a part of the world were models are'nt really popular the forum is my only link to the hobby so i'm committed too trying to keep up with everyones conversions. Good on both you for the effort you both put into the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) posted this up before,but i cannot find it anywhere,anyway numberplate added,same as the one i drive at work,done this ages ago,but recently i managed to get hold of a scrap wiking jd 6930,so thought i would add the extra rear work lights on the rear,again the same as i drive Edited May 3, 2017 by Paul Palmer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 not really a conversion,just adding a few bits,compatability problems here,i had to shorten the pto shaft to allow it to hitch to the fastrac 8250,as this is the tractor that will be using the baler,come on britains,at least let your implements hitch to your own tractors please!,i know its the earlier hitch,but thats no excuse,shame, as the baler is a really good model for its price,anyway i have added hydraulic pipes and a lighting lead,i will also be adding warning decals,but i have run out,so just ordered some more,any comments or questions please ask 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 The Siku link is chunky and clumsy looking but at least its consistent! I can't attach the Kverneland plough to the Fastrac 7230, as I'd hoped! So I might actually sell it and the 3230 together, get another V&N for my Agrotron and then give the Fastrac a different job! That is a nice looking baler, very good value for money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 well ,not really retailer Mark,should have put factory/wholesaler,and you would be surprised how few do get broke,that only happens when the royal mail get hold of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) not a lot done to this model,it is a cracking model,only minus points,the stupid front mudguards,i have removed them and the rear top linkage is very loose,wont stay in the up position,i have also changed the exhaust,as my uncles exhaust had a rain cap,the marge model didnt,the exhaust thats on there now came from a britains ford 6600,some pictures of it beside britains 7600 for comparison,my uncles numberplate will be added,also the only picture i have of my uncles 6610,i was going to change the front wheels as the marges are full dish,my uncles 6610 had the front wheels as the britains 66/7600 have,but im afraid of breaking something trying to swap them over,the marge is very fragile,i am so glad i didnt get the uh 6610,which i was thinking of doing Edited February 7, 2015 by paulali 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
