matty a Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 after seeing the amazing job that gav has done on his beet harvester i thought i would give it a shot i actualy started this a few weeks back but i had to stop because i ran out off material and gav had had the rest of it from the shop so yesterday i went and got a load because they got there stock in a few days ago and this is what i managed to make out of it yesterday and today. first pic the real thing and my attempt so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty a Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 made a few slight changes to some of the parts because some bits were a little long so they have been cut down a bit i will try and get some more done tomorrow because i would like to get the topper attached, but in the morning i am going to the farm to have a little drive about to brush up on the skills because i have my tractor test on the 19th so i wana get as much practise in as possable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty a Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 just waiting for some bits that i have plasticwelded to fully harden at the so when they have i will get some pics uploaded i have made a good bit of progres on it i think because i have made a new topper because the other one was not wide enough. i have got most of the frame for the litfing system made and have got the oppel wheels mounted (thanks to gav for supplying them ) and made mostly all the hydrolic rams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty a Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 finaly managed to get some as u can see i need to raise the back a bit to make it level but i will do that after the next supply run because i thought i still had some bits left so i didnt bother getting any bits that size. first of all the tank rams the full machine topper and lifting unit up and down harvesting position and road position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
