FB Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 PDC and i think Ricky are the men to ask. To get the arms 'telescopic' you need to use brass (not sure about plastruct) square sections from memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi6920 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 im going for the krone style has alot lower pivot point so it doesnt have to telscope so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Looks excellent mate!! I love those rakes, they look awesome. Glad to see you have changed the wheels. Only one thing, the rotors are around the wrong way, they would push the grass away rather than pull it in...................................................................................................
