sparrow legs Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 sorry it had to be done started fitting my alpha onto flotation tyres, most large sprayers have wide, floatation and row crops to suit the season, have an idea for the row crops but sold one of the donnor tractors today may wait for some pdc ones comments please, not fitted into the hub yet so it looks wide, will be quite tricky to do so they can be interchanged but im up for the challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihatepoundland Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Good idea, floatations all the way just don't know if those tyres are really the best looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 i agree, using the white centres and putting trelle bourg tyres on them off the jd bale trailer expenise to do but will look good in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Good idea, floatations all the way just don't know if those tyres are really the best looking I agree, think there are some better ones? Great idea anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbrush Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 steering aint bad on these sprayers, front and back axle steer, mines maybe a bit loose but no prob. good model and there is a chance of seeing the real thing in this country.

Fenside MF Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 A great idea sparrow legs ,have you finished it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordson major Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Great idea on changing the wheels for flotations mine arrived in Canada yesterday it's a lot better model than the spra coupe and worth spending the time on it to get the conversion done. I agree with the others that maybe those tyres are possibly not the best for the job but in the end it is your model and I respect your final decision. I am looking forward to seeing the finished model and maybe I will do something with mine If I am brave enough to chop a $100 plus model.

MJB1 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 will be good if you can get it to have changeable wheels mike ,trellies all round will look the part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 to be honest i have put original wheels back on her and put it in the for sale box, i have some better tyres now, is there any interest here for me to re-try to produce a model with inter-changeable wheels to sell? no pressure sales just if people thought they would sell i would start again, i have a plan in mind how to do it without too much cost, mainly wheels and time only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
