mb86 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 As you can see a Britains Case IH puma 225cvx with linkage that works IMGP1164.JPG That looks spot on mark, the plough looks to be sat about right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Nice work here Mark, the britains case looks a good tractor for the money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 nice work Mark,apart from the linkage and weight,although i didnt mind the weight,the puma cvx and the new holland britains equivalant were 2 very good tractors from britains,i think the nh was a t7060,not sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I think it was Paul but didn't that suffer from steering problems if I remember rightly it would only steer 1 way? Your right Mark.. Have aT7060 & the steering is hopeless.. Is the Puma the same ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Something else that's different, front mounted furrow press made up from parts of 2 packomat off the Britains Kverneland plough and home made folding frame. IMGP1179.JPGIMGP1181.JPGIMGP1183.JPGIMGP1185.JPG Back in the good old days sometime in the 1980s I made a linkage like yours to go on the front of a Ford 7610fwd but I left the press on the ground because of the weight and hooked on it same as you would with the plough it worked but it put a lot of stress on the front by wanting to pull you sideways especially on a side hill so after a few fields I a banded the idea I think there was a company that made one on the front and also a side mounted one which brought the pulling point towards you back wheels so not the stress on the front 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Reminded me of this mark. image.jpg That was a good idea at the time but tractors was not strong around the engine/gearbox clutch housing and I now of 2 that snapped in half todays tractors are built stronger in that area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Nice idea Mark. All you need now is a seed hopper on the front and two coulter bars to drill some wheat. Kverneland tried it but it never was much of a success.

Jdeere6910 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Very nice work Mark, I might be wrong but I think Franqunet (not sure on spelling) made something similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0025 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Nearly finished a conversion on a Mercedes car recovery wagon to a flat bed with front bale lades and a rear loading ramps made out of coffee stirrers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Did the press not have chassis rails to take the stress? Yes they did have rails as far as clutch/gearbox housing but they really needed to go back to the rear axle to stop the twist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I'm supprised it wasn't made strong enough coming from dowdeswell ,as you said it is a lot of weight swinging about on the front of a tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Yes they did have rails as far as clutch/gearbox housing but they really needed to go back to the rear axle to stop the twist indeed smithy, our neihbour had one of them,and thry added rail tracks down each side to take the weight, infact they did the same to the ford 5000 and laoder they ran after they split one with a loaded browns bale grab on it along with the bigger one at the rear , poor thing just went bang , certsinly shocked the driver jeff, who came and worked for us after that farm sold out to contracting the land to camstar ,sure you have heard of them,from the eye area 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 when I was 15 years old (yes a little while back) I was loading sugar beet with a ford 4000 and horndrulic loader and it snapped round the bell-housing only the cab made it stay together it was in December cold and wet but we got some wood and tilts and made a shelter over it and MANN-EGERTONS from Ipswich came out and repaired it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
