Spud Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 can anybody explain how and where to connect which of the harvester's and trailer's (hyraulic/electric) wires to the tractor/where to put the wires looking at least a little bit realistic when showing those items in a diorama? (ok, no chance of finding suitable connections on the current Britains Fords, but maybe on a SIKU farmer "Plus" oder Ertl Precision tractor?) As I am no real farm man, I can only presume that the electric (white) wire might lead into the tractor's cabin enabling the driver remote control of the machine ... yea they do but its all about how much time and effort u want to put into it just haveing hoses they way Gav dose still looks good and looks great in Dioramas still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard de Florennes Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Do not know what you are thinking of, but I am thinking of this one, what do you think? "The first model planned is the Enterprise harvester for which I have taken measurements off the real machine along with numerous photographs to assist with prototype production. All things going well I would hope to have the first ones ready for sale by autumn 2007, these are most likely to be resin models with some metal parts and I hope to incorporate as much detail as possible on them.

Richard de Florennes Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Looks immaculate, perfect, I am speechless, looking at the pics over and over again since yesterday. One question: Do this modell and/or the original trailer not have any foothold/linchpin (don't know the exaxt English term) for parking the trailer when not attached to a tractor?

Gav836 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 They do Sascha, Bunnings fit a screw jack and/or a removeable Skid to them, thing is the model is so well balanced that the drawbar sits in the air when its not on a tractor so hasn't got one fitted......yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Just fitted the wheels to the green one, also have a red one here on Joal wheels which I'm not too sure on \ Just leaves the tailboard rams to fit to them both now. Red Green All three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I'm a big fan of the Joal wheels Gav But I have to say the Siku wheels suit your trailer better ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
