John Deere 550 round Baler


Recommended Posts

Not a scratch build, but slight modification on the old ertl/ Britain’s been sitting part done for yonks.

horrible double ended hitch removed, my only slight faux pas is that it is now a little high (I could get a job at UH ;))

net box on rear removed, pto tin cover added along with door rear cross member, reflectors and replacement wheels, yellow plastic bits painted, holes filled where the big plastic axle holders were, older type 550 decals added

Looking tidy Alastair, do we have plans for the forager next?

Thanks John, well I really need to get back on the combine, ultimately yes I want to make a 3760 as per the one on the farm next door as a kid. It’s just on the table as the wife had asked what it was doing sitting on one of the beams gathering dust! If my little boy spots it, it will be liberated!!

So other than a few finishing touches (aka bits that will never be done) she’s done. Quite pleased I’ve managed to (relatively speaking) motor on and get done. Like I said not 100% accurate but you get the idea, and a bit cheaper than a mini Agri passion one!

I like that Alastair, very tidy, and nice that it's almost finished;):D  Any chance of a better picture of what it's hooked to? 

I'll guess its a opu cabbed horse-shoe bonneted 3130 John.... but i could be wrong ;) Baler does look well though, well done Alastair :)

Thanks John, I’ll fish it out, it needs a bit of repair work. I desperately need a display cabinet!
