Gav836 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 I need some opinions now...... been looking at the wheels today and found I have some slightly narrower ones in stock as well so would like to know what you think to each one and which looks best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 the grey hub wheels look a little better i think Gav \, prob as its a big machine \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 mm they are nice gav, what are the grey wheels of then?? as for which set, i guess the red ones will be better as the pics i have seen all seem to have smaller wheels like those on the machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 I have a number of the grey ones, I aquired them in a few lots I've bought off ebay and I believe they come off an Ertl Case STX Precision. I like the smaller Cougar wheels better but it's no big problem if anyone would like the slightly taller and narrower STX wheels fitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 He buys everything in twos :D Now Gavvers... my thoughts are... stick with the red wheels mate.... They look best to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Red ones for sure Gav, I think the narrow ones would sink in too much with a full load and so lower your digging depth. Wide ones all the way!! Looking great by the way!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Yup, I'd go for the smaller wider ones Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 looking at the pics on the first page the wheels look narrow on the real model???, is there not an alternative you can get a few of \ \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 looking at the pics on the first page the wheels look narrow on the real model???, is there not an alternative you can get a few of \ \ Yeah, I've seen them fitted with a narrow wheel on one side and a combine wheel on the other side but there are several wheel options available to my knowledge. The machines have been breeding again since earlier too, soon going to run out of Renault tractors to put them on :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
