844john Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 I must admit Sean, as I was saying to Martin earlier, against my better judgement I have succumbed and started work on a Barth K150 trencher, well, they were based on a county skid, and I have already got that part cast, it certainly looks like it's going to be a complicated build though, I think a lot more research is needed yet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 These are some amazing builds, especially keeping all the angles lined up. On the detailed parts I always manage to stick my fingers together before the plastic, ha, but you seem to have mastered it. Cant wait to see the progress on the Barth.

I suspected you had, just the way you were trying to deny it . Can remember one doing one of the big fields at one of the other farms when i was young, always fancied one for the layout . Maybe i will try once i have some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 844john Posted May 23, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2020 Some progress on the big one, many thanks to John (JEP) for help with photos of the back end. The 171 is different to the smaller Muir Hills in that its linkage is mounted on a sub frame separate from the skid unit. There were a few grey areas, but we got there in the end 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEP Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Really coming along John, looks very imposing when alongside the 121, another fantastic build in the making, will make a very impressive line up of M.H's when finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 i honestly didnt realise the last ones were blue john, i saw one a while back, hidden behind a barn that you could see from the main road, and just assumed it had been repainted for a contractor or something, doubt this one was going any where, both front wheel were missing, and the brambles had taken hold at the rear.
