Agrium Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Im getting nearer to finishing the prototype.? It will be on display at Spalding this year. Depending on interest, I will decide whether to put the model into production. Please tell me if I do what Manufacturers do you want to see.? The Spalding model will be a HERBST model, with decals, long vehicle signs etc. Its currently sat on the back of a MTX 175 with chunkier tyres.

PDC Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Nice work Ian,That looks really impressive I can't wait to see that all painted up at Spalding.I guess the protype is plastic but the production model will be a mix of white metal and resin,prehaps even a real wood floor that would be really cool.

Agrium Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 correct.......the floor is already wooden, you cant really see it on the pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Yes very good work Ian. I would buy one of you, no doubt about it. Looks like there is tons of detail on it especially on the ramps. As for what makes there aren't that many are there?? The only ones I can think of, of the top of my head are: Chieftain Kane NC McCauley Fraser and out of those I would choose either McCauley or NC. Also Ian can you e-mail me about those models press, spreader, squeeze etc Thanks Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 nice work ian,looks nice and detailed,i did see a redrock one the other day,which i didn't know they made low loaders,so it would be nice in there colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrium Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Thanks The back recess for the bucket is Checkerplate and I've tried to keep the ramps as genuine to HERBST ones as possible. The only difference is that chieftan and some others are ladder style rear ramps. It is possible to offer both when you order one, you choose. I want this model to be as detailed as possible. It will come with small pieces of wood for chocks and chain to anchor the machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new holland driver Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 i may get one of these but lots of other bites to get frist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrium Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Full production will only be taking place towards the end of the year anyway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Do you have anything else lined up Ian. Harry West Dual spreader or McCauley dump trailer maybe ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrium Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 I am contemplating both of those models. I need to speak more with the casting company about limitations on size and complexity of shapes. A Kuhn front mounted mower is high on my priorities as the UH one is out soon and I'd like to give it the front mounted to finish the model off. Im producing a new front guard for the John Deere 6920 and a different one for the Massey Ferguson 5455. I want to try and get them as genuine as possible. So many ideas and not enough time to do them Suggestions????????????????/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I am sure the Harry West Dual Spreader would be a big seller if you where to make one and probably the dump trailer too although a different manufacturer other than McCauley would be better as there aren't as big as say Kane or Marston for instance. A Kuhn mower would be good too could maybe paint them in JD colours to go with the Britains JD mower. My suggestions would be: Root crop equipment like Haulm Toppers, Planters, Harvesters, Picking Tables etc. Silaging equipment like tedders, hesston baler, bale chasers, flat and silage trailers etc. General farm equipment like straw choppers, Quicke Loader, Pivot steer telehandler. The list is endless believe me Thanks Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 nice trailer!!, what would the price be?? Ideas i'd go with NCC, some root equipment would be great, its in very short supply!! Another thing i have bene thinking about was additonal buckets for the 3CX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Chris Irwin makes some accessories for the 3CX, including pallet forks and a rockbreaker I think www.cimodels.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrium Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 Price is an unknown at the moment I haven't really thought how difficult it would be to get cast. I will only make it if it is castable. It would take me hours if not to get the detail, and there will be a limit as to if it is worth it. Casting will make it quicker but I dont want to loose the detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 a dual spreader would be great,i have been after one for a while now as they are very popular down this way,hope you will do one as i for one will have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 That is a really detailed trailer, good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrium Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 The good thing about attempting one of these is there are a few manufacturers who make something similar.? Im going to speak to the cast company this week about how big parts like trailer bodies can be cast and how to keep the weight down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrium Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Latest pictures Tell me what you think, or things to give it a little more detail. I need to sort out mudguards for it and rear lights as well as hydraulic brake lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Looks well Ian, is "Herbst" a subsidiary of redrock, or vica-versa?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
