Kris Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 how come its not very wide or is tha how it should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 It should be like that, the press presses the middle down whilst the tractor tyres press the outsides, so the whole width of the tractor has been compacted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Looks good mate, try one with AS supersingle wheel/tyres though aswell - that'll be closer to the real thing amd with the right paint. . ... ooooh she'll be looking good!!!

Sumo use old used tyres so new marstons may look "too new" if there is an interest in these i will take some photos of my mates and make a better relistic model to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Yeah they may be a bit new mate come to think of it. Ours was a 4m trailed type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Here you go Mike, saved these for when I make one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 didnt know you were thinking of making one, thanks for the pics, my mates is blue and the press wheels are only inbetween the front wheels but has front tines 4m wide! looks very odd in real life but he says the tines knock the 4m up then the front press, tractor wheels and duel wheels roll the rest down before the dril combi the tines fold for transport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batcher Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Lookin gooooood you could also use it as a crop press with a big baler behind the tractor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 someone i know does that with a BOM simple press on his tractor with a jd round baler on the back as he bales behind a jd with 30ft header (leaves a huge swath) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 why would you want to roll the rows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 why would you want to roll the rows press the swath down so it gose under the tractor and into the baler better contractors near me first go in with a 30ft rake and row up the straw then coming with a tm 140 welger rp 220 with a 1.5m press on the front to get it all under the tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Looking lovely are you thinking of putting a small rake kind of thing ( sorry don't know the technical term ) on the front like in the pics? Although it might ruin the look a bit But yeah looking excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
