Massey Boy Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 is it a beet topper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 is it a beet topper you are a winner! It is a beet defoliator US-style. More info? look here: http://www.amitytech.com/defoliators/gallery or http://www.artsway-mfg.com/products/Defoliator.html or http://www.allowaystandard.com/defoliators/rigid.html What do you all think so far? However, for my first project I tryed to make A "unbranded" defoliator, not a specific one, thats too difficult for me ... Here are some more details of the wheel attachments mit some "hydraulics" for height controll (so I need feedback now, as I will beginn work on the wheels now): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massey Boy Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 i win i think you should do the red one looks great so far better than i could do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 now I have a question: I would like to fix the wheels/tyres to these attachments in a way allowing the wheels to turn when the implement moves. Any tips for ideal solutions, looking both good and functional? Need feedback ASAP! ;-) brass rod and glue??, just glue the rod to the wheel and drill a hole in the frame, push through then glue the other one on?, should allow it to turn???

FB Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 have you used plastruct as spacers as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 have you used plastruct as spacers as well? yes I did, the wheels now really turn and here is the result. Not a precision modell so far but it's a start: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 very nice!!!!.....a lot further than i've done in the last few years!! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 This is looking like it will be quite some model Sascha, any plans for what to make once you have finished this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 now I have a question: I would like to fix the wheels/tyres to these attachments in a way allowing the wheels to turn when the implement moves. Any tips for ideal solutions, looking both good and functional? Need feedback ASAP! ;-) try some fine brass rod, most model shops will have that, or ema will, make an axel point on each side of the holding peice,the same dia as the inner of the wheel hub, then add the rod with a bit of plasti rod as a heah,through the hole in the wheel,just drill a fine hole in the hub for it to fit into,other otion would be a small nail to act i nthe same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 This is looking like it will be quite some model Sascha, any plans for what to make once you have finished this one? well what would follow an eight-row beet defoliator in these two-stage harvesting system? ;-) Now I have just finished the scalper section of the topper, unfortunately with slight irregularities as I am not precise enough when cutting the plastruct ... What do you think of it so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard de Florennes Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Thanks for the nice feedback so far, although I am still waiting for a first feedback from Thomas (who helped me purchasing the right plastruct material, thanks mate!) ;-) Here is the final stage for today, it's allmost finished, just the tractor linkage, some paint work and of course the final details missing. what do you think so far?
