PDC Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I went out and about today with the family and saw loads of people destoning and planting potato's and also drilling sugarbeet. It then dawned on me that while I and other people have sold tractors on row-crops or 'sprayer wheels' but I now think these are too thin. ??? So i've come up with these :o What do you think ???

allis8550 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Heres a pic of the real thing, JD 6820 on row crops, I think yours are pretty close, as these don't appear as narrow as some model wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 looking very good, i think i know what you have used if not how much a set to fit ourselfs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 looking very good, i think i know what you have used if not how much a set to fit ourselfs? The wheels are not stock items I have modified the original Siku centres to take different tyres :-X When i'm happy with the quality there'll be off to be cast ;) If all works out I will be happy to supply them as kits ;) Watch this space for prices : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 just picked up the new jd sprayer and was looking at the wheels and they would look great on your JD. the wheels are as thin as yours but the tred patton looks different . wheels are the right colour as well. what do you think?

The Siku Claas Ares ATZ would be a good choice as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 The Siku Claas Ares ATZ would be a good choice as well They will fit the Claas will be tight on the 5455 but later tonight i'll try them on other tractors in the collection,i think with a plug for the hubs so there push fit they'll fit several UH tractors ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 i think your ford 7840 would look good with a set of row crops on or your Mf 6480. has any one cast the wheels off the UH self propelled srayer?. I'm thinking they might go on the back of MF5455 or smaller tractors. just a thought hint hint. look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Light Land Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Nice job on a well over due edtion to 32nd farming Paul. Mjb & I have been talking about row crop wheel widths on here in the past. The comman 1/32nd row crop wheels that every one has are found in real life but there is a diffrance between spraying wheels and root crop wheels so top marks too Paul.
