Spud Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 i was going to wait until the other havester i bought arrived but its been raining and didnt have much 2 do so i have started modifying the first 1 i bought -making it a tractor drawn harvester -i have extended the hopper filler -replaced the mouth web with a more realistic web also the back web i have replaced -removed the motor coverings plans are to add a small potato (small Hopper) also a trash roller couple more things but cant think of them at the moment cheers Reece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Now it is pretty common knowledge that I am not too familiar with root crop machinery apart from seeing it at shows, on brochures, in 1/32 but as far as a converted model goes Reece that is looking fantastic, very very nice piece you have made out of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
