Deere-est Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I have a feeling Traci's dad has one of these in the shed, only a little on without a crumbler. I'll see if i can drag it out one day for a snap or two. Looks good by the way, very nice indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Yeah, without the job there would be no model making as it's supporting it at the minute, lack of funds lately has caused my model making to dry up, damned bills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS135A DRIVER Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Nice model Gav. The leveller looks the business with the spikes going down through the bars to help break up the soil as it works and the crumbler roller to break down large clods that are left. Real good replica of this implement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, my fingers still have glue on them from sticking all of those spikes into the frame, very fiddly with big fingers \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Been experimenting today with a 6m folding one, would welcome any feedback on it please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS135A DRIVER Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 The hydraulic folding 6 metre version looks very tidy, do your crumbler rollers rotate too ?? A tip for you with the super glue here. Have you tried Loctites new "Gel Control" super glue. It's thicker and doesn't run like the thin watery normal super glue. Easier to use and less stuck on your fingers too Worth a try if you have not tried it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to use and less stuck on your fingers too Worth a try if you have not tried it yet I've been using the Loctite gel for several years now, but the special 'Control' dispenser thing it comes in is crap, as well as being expensive. Instead look for the packs with the 3g tubes of both liquid and gel in to give you better flexibility and enable you to use more than half the tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to use and less stuck on your fingers too Worth a try if you have not tried it yet Thanks and yes, the rollers rotate. I don't use super glue too much anymore as it tends to fail after a while and things fall apart as a few of my seeder conversion customers are aware so i tend to use Araldite for most glueing along with Plastic weld/Liquid Poly, super glue only for wires and pipes now. Thanks for the tip though looks good!, whats the red/black thing in left hand corner \ \ yeah i've tried it, love the stuff!! ;D Thanks Ben.

Tractorman810 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 no way, stuck pinkies is all part of the fun, really is try zap-a-gap for a real full on whole hand stuck effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS135A DRIVER Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Biggest problem I had with old type of super glue was it would go solid in the tube or bottle between uses and be wasted. The gel control dispenser is not the greatest designed container but it does the job. It's interesting to hear other members views on the differnt types of glues and what they prefer to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
