Gav836 Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Been working on this for the last couple of hours, in the words of Rolf Harris "Can you tell what it is yet?" :D Quote
Gav836 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Posted January 22, 2007 good guess, your prize is the chance to be the owner of one of the finished models :D Quote
Gav836 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Posted January 22, 2007 Looking good Gav Thanks, just got the legs to sort out now. what brand is it to be? This one is based on the Opico/He-Va 3m/5 leg model i,ll take it please Sold Quote
Holderness Models Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 will it be something like this Quote
Gav836 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Posted January 22, 2007 At some point it will have a hopper fitted, depends what people want. I know the chap at Opico wants one with a hopper on it Quote
Tractorman810 Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 well my order will be fore 5 leg no hopper on, only versions i have ever seen, and just what i need to break upo the compacted "coffee" soil on my feilds after the mats come of Quote
FW Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 well my order will be fore 5 leg no hopper on, only versions i have ever seen, and just what i need to break upo the compacted "coffee" soil on my feilds after the mats come of My Grandad chopped in his Mcconnel Shakereaker in for a Simba Flatliner 3.5 metre with a seeder as our soil is just too heavy for one. He reckons that the simba is a great tool apart from loading the hopper can be a job, so he fitted a platform to sit on. Found a photo of it, without the hopper on.... Quote
