CCF Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I am seriously concidering it, so it will at least pay for itself as the tube wasn't that cheap and the investment in a mitre saw. \ Also the hours that its taken up, however if they were made in batches the time would be cut at a guess. What sort of money would they be worth? They're worth whatever you want them to be mate, you are the only one who knows what all of the supplies required to make it costed. Looks good so far mate, impressive work you've done there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Well the glues now set, so i thought I'd have a play. Also, I slightly underestimated the weight of the chains, so have had to add some extra links around the sides, which are to be drilled some time tommorow.

FW Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Ok, next I have got to sort out the linkage. The main problem is that I don't know what height to set it at, as this varies so much throughout the various manufacturers, with UH being the biggest problem, as it will need to be set higher and on a slight angle, so keeps straight. I'm thinking make it for UH as these would look best on the implement. Unless I can make standardised method that fits all manufactures. \ Let me know what you think.

sparrow legs Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 go for u/h, it covers a wide range of tractor options, older britains should be simular, no point looking at tractors over 150hp as you wouldnt use anything that big, average would be 100hp at a guess, if not smaller. your main problem will be the tractor "rearing up" if the frame is too heavey, a bit smaller box may work better like you said. cant wait to see the finished product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I would say UH to because they offer a better range of smaller tractors say a small mccormick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 lean taught somthing new every day :D ill lift it next time ill have to tell my teacher (my uncle ) just cant get the staff these days Thanks for the help. The linkage is now set so that it does not touch the ground, however was quite a challenge as Uh linkage is set on the p!ss compared to other manufacturers which are straight. \ However should be good all the same.
