sipher172 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I thought seeing as it is taking far longer than expected to finish this model, I should create its own topic. The final picture in the series is the latest progress. I managed to get hold of a 1/16th scale Bruder potato harvester, I testing whether belts from this harvester work on the T3. They turned out to be the perfect width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels for the John Deere are from Artisan32, they are one of the plastic sets he makes sprayed in John Deere yellow. The wheel sizing isn't perfect, I think the rears are a little large and the fronts are to small. He has a metal option but they are nearly the same price as the tractor. The topper and planter are made out of a mix of Plasticard and Evergreen plastics. The wheels are from a Kuhn Xl Discover. The belt system is from a Bruder Grimme potato harvester. The main belt is to large though so I am scratching building a replacement from some rubber sheet and Plasticard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipher172 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Thanks, To get the angles right I have had to take it to peices and put it back together many times. It is one of those builds that I have to be feeling really inspired to work on. Plan is to have it finished so I can harvest some carrots for Christmas dinner, haha.

sipher172 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Made a bit more progress in the last couple days. After I get the rears sets of webbing complete, everything else will be more cosmetic. So while I may not gave it finished before Christmas, I hope to get it completed this year.
