farmernick06 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Finished main work on this tonight, still go to slap some decals on her but hay. I was working on my Claas dominators when i came across this picture on google and saw a JCB loadall for sale and just thought why not. So yeah ... Any ideas on improving it would be great or any questions thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 doesn't look bad at all nick , & you've managed to get a good finish on it as well, the overall uidea is sound , not an exact match but i'd be well chuffed with the result mate , just decals now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjd8530 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I know hardly anything about this Claas loadall i was just bored and it was something i thought i could handle and gave it a go \ some information for you. these first claas handlers were made by Sanderson aftrer Claas bought them in about 96. they were called the Ranger, and siku made a really crappy one for a few years [ranger 911T i think...] the one in the pic was based on a sanderson TL6 or TL7 and there was a pivot steer one based on the GX 525 ....cant remember the designation on the claas one though. Claas of course went on to have handlers made by CAT [TARGO], untill they fell out, and the current SCORPION models are made by Kramer Allrad.

Thanks mate as i said in my Dominator topic im not too fussed about getting it perfect with every little wire in exactly the right place or whatever ... thanks mate Cheers David, certainly something im interested in. Will have to look into a bit more thanks for giving me more depth on my project mate. Much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 the real pic looks like a TL6, ive drove many of them, TL6/ TL7, ya paint finish looks great, for realism maybe painting an equal wheel jd or jcb would have been better \ finished model looks great but never seen a real one like it (un equal wheels) i fancy getting a class ranger and painting it into sanderson colours much better than anything posted so far, keep going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
