MF 6265 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 10 ft head I presume - were these made by Droninborg as well It got a 9 ft head. This combine was also made by Aktiv Sampo. The MF 16 is the same as the Sampo 580. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MF 6265 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 You said to ask questions well this one might be hard to answer but how many man hours do you think you would have spent to produce this model ? and what value would you put on it Good question.. I spent more or less 2 months on building it. The most work was on the measures.. I had to take measures on every part of my real combine, to get the right size on the modell, so it is exactly 1/32 scale.. The price on this, I think would be priceless.. I made it when i was home with my newborn son, so I think it has to be passed on to him, when he is around 50... ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MF 6265 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 ANd I guess this must be the 20 Jepp, that`s the 20. It came with a 10 ft head. The 20XP came with a 12 ft head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MF 6265 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 Olav, thats absolutely stunning, makes everthing I've built look very poor indeed.! You just need the time, right tools and a lot of pasions.. It is the small ekstras that is the differens between a good or a great conversion. I think I have a long way to go with my modells before I get in the leag with TM810 and some other great conversioners on this forum! But training makes champion...

BC Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Good question.. I spent more or less 2 months on building it. The most work was on the measures..

A really wonderful job and is a credit to you. I agree I wouldn't let your son get his hands on it until he's older and appreciates what a real craftsman his father was.

JTM Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hi Execelent work You have done, very detailed. I am working on an old danish combine harvester (towed). Mine is completly brasswork.
