nashmach Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Oh no you are going to ruin the paintwork - best idea I have seen for the glass is bullet proof stuff but really only works with Ford cabs as you can't get it curved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Fantastic little outfit there Smish, really smart looking machinery. With those spangley freshly painted wheels you ought to get some hession or something in there. Are you still trying to chop her in for a newun?

sparrow legs Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 nice rig, just like mine but mines 2wd and a bomford. dont fit a flap on the front of the head, chains are better as they move, a flap lays the hedge down and dosnt cut properly im thinking of making boards to protect my bonnet, i would put fine mesh in thoe to let air through the grill so she dosnt over heat. we carry warning signs on our masseys when on road work and looking to put lights on the flails due to the head blocking the lights in transport. what year is ya tractor and how many hours on her? im looking at a 3050 1992 with 8500hrs with a 20 year old bomford 3 arm flail but he wants 10k plus vat any ideas on value of the rig?
