FB Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 nice work Sipher....you making any more then. How big is it compared to that siku one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 nice work, i take it that is the siku one isn't it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Yes it is the siku one, this is 8m the lemken siku one is 10m. I doubt I will make any more because it is very expensive in simba solos, it used 4. I pretty pleased with the outcome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 thought it was mate, just added the extra wheels set to the chassi, looks very nice its not the expense that makes a model its the time and effort, which you certainly seem to have done there mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I would be pleased with it too...... how many HP to pull that beast?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 I think it needs about 300-350hp, hence the xerion. I do know that one of my neighbours has a 10.5m one that is being specially tested for simba with the st tines off the lighter duty simba solo, they use a case quadtrac stx530.

Tractorman810 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 are you going to add the wheels at the ends? a pair of mf200 wheels would suit there i recon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 I am thinking of using the ones of the lemken or I might use another set of the solo wheels on the edge as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 that look spot on, must have taken ages to design and build, was that real life photo taken at LAMMA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Actually it was pretty simple to build, I only got the parts from spadling. I have been designing it in my head for a while, but the structure of the lemken tool suits the change to the cultipress quite nicely. If some one could solve the problem of getting the solo double D ring packers they could make quite a few quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 COME ON THEN DT OR FP ETC sure lots of people would by the DD rings for various conversions (i know i would) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 COME ON THEN DT OR FP ETC sure lots of people would by the DD rings for various conversions (i know i would) Just dropped one in some rubber by mistake....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete132 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 that looks spot on, looking good behind the class :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 If any one is interested in making the tool the way I did it was. 1. I drilled of all the rivits leaving a blank frame, then painted orange 2. In the bracket that holds the disc and packer system I glued a diamond shape bar. 3. I glued the packers to the bar, one on each of the visible angles. 4. I built a frame to hold the wheels then glued it to the base of the frame.

towse trading Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 hi i might have a go some time , look a beast , see how jason gets on with the d rings?, shold be easy enought to cast , dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 I would be nice if you could do that, then there is a possiblity of making the 10.5m version. Oh dave, the half tracks look amazing on the jd8530, I added my own set of flotation tyres to the front, and it really finishes it off. I might post some pictures latter of it setup with the cultipress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Wow Sipher that is some bit of kit and loooking at the real piece of kit you have gone the whole hog with it too. Looks fantastic, much better and more relivent over here than the Lemken one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
