MJB1 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 certainly have got the hang of it mate the press looks good alongside it , may have to start doing a few more in other colours, may even venture into a semi as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 the press rings arew off the siku front folding press and the frame work and press arms are resin (from DT, he sells them made up thoe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Looks nice but how do you move the press between fields? I noticed this on DT's or whoever they were at Spalding, they need a three point hitch or a Siku quick attach A frame on there I reckon. Is the depth wheel on the plough standard or one you have added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 deerest, we move the real life ones with a teleporter, were the top wire goes on the model one is box section and we place the tines through there, the arms fold up, if moving a long way we put it on a small trailer, the dowdswell we had at one time could be lifted by the tractors 3p linkage but meant you needed a tractor to move it, would be hard to fit this to a model unless your keen to try it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I'll balls it up before I even start mate!!! I guess it need a complete frame around the axles and press wheels to have a hitch fitted then? An a frame would be good for a Siku tractor then you could just pick it up on the front linkage to change field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratholderen Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 a very nice item. I am interested in the furrow press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyboy Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 great job there, i only wish there was a decent plough made by some of the model manufacturers, if you made a semi-mounted mjb1 you would have an interested buyer in me, thats for sure :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
