JCB 412 Farm Master

[844john]

I thought I needed a shovel from the same era as the New Holland foragers to go on the pit, so I’ve started on a JCB 412. Progress so far

Just need the decals and some attachments for it now!

Top work again John. Quiet alot off them worked around my area back in the 90s.  When the tractors and buckrakes were phased out from the silage pits.... these came on the scene. The Cat 910 and O&K were another popular machine then.

Thanks Justin. B today’s standards they’re a small machine, especially as they’re just under 90hp, but I bet back in the day they were some tool!

You've certainly got the formula cracked for this scratch building business John, I wouldn't know where to start with these complex chassis! Always amazed at how tidy the glazing is too, most jealous!

Thanks very much James. I’m certainly no engineer but I have a fairly mechanical mind and I think that probably helps. Also, when I look at something I try and work out how it was built in the first place and then try and replicate that in model form, it doesn’t always work, but it usually helps😉
