dr-abich Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 My next project is onion picker from Polish factory named Krukowiak. It's really simple machine based on very old technology. My father had similar to that in a past i think some late 80. That machine is still same with minor mods compare to old ones. First started from project in my notebook not finished yet.I would like to do that picker in a proper way project, JIG frame, parts take it all together but time will tell Cut some aluminium bars for frame and now waiting for proper glue to stick all together.

dr-abich Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Today had some spare time in work so glued drawbar to picker frame. Have to stick axle to frame. Axle is already ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr-abich Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Due to problems with gluing that frame (Fallen apart when dropped)I'm changing my conception if its going about frame. For now i'm gonna abandon that project for the benefit of much important implement for soil preparation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr-abich Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 While im waiting for material for my APS60 decided to comeback to onion picker, Changed my conception a little bit. Did frame from U (or C )channels. Today i put it some parts together. Did a frame with draw bar with 2 point linkage , axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolt on connection working better in my opinion than glue but still im gonna use some glue to stick some parts together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr-abich Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hi lads. Did some progress last time. Due to lack of time not too much. Did ram and mounts for it. Ram is responsible for folding whole trailer conveyor ( turret). Prepared ram smaller for folding last part of conveyor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr-abich Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Did something on my onion picker.I did longer ram for tilting a trailer conveyor. I did brackets for that ram and mounting frame but not too happy from results and i'm gonna replace that with slightly bit thicker material and thinner on sides because its looks too wide from a side. At least i know measurements of that and shape which is gonna be helpful to prepare new one. Had to change a draw bar for wider to allow more turning radius.

dr-abich Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Some little update. Did that frame for top ram changed for much appropriate looking material. Shoot some photos with 1255 with trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret90 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 That looks exellent Dominik, I would like to have a go at building with metal in that style at some point, what colour is it going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awdmac Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Great work Dominik, looking good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr-abich Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Thank You guys. Colour its gonna be original blue (or close to original ) and same type of wheels from britians but with silver rims. Ferret only one pain in back side is connecting aluminium with glue i didn't discover proper one yet. Possibly i'm going to try weld sticks (Melting ones). I would like to get rid of some screw / bolt on connections to make model much realistic and keeping it playable in same time.I really don't like weak / brittle things like my Schuco international.

dr-abich Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Hello how are you (Yak shie mash) I think i found good glue for aluminium after some little experiments. Hopefully that's gonna be good one. 5.50 in Halfords. Araldite steel consistency similar to Poxipol whioch i used to build my first plough model. Today i glued together resting frame and it's looks solid (for now ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr-abich Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Good evening. Today i spent my day in very nice style. One of my pleasure was fact i had some time to push forward work on onion loader (or picker). Glued some elements like little oil box for a powerpack . Prepared Pto shaft bracket and hydraulic tubes. Painted loader turret and sides for first conveyor. and bla bla bla. In other words some work were done and nearly there nearly there or i'm winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
