bigbelluk Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 My new Herbst bale trailer arrived in the yard a few weeks ago and it inspired me to attempt my first ever scratch builds Please let me know what you think of them and whether the Wooden or chequred plate flooor looks best Quote

jcb4cxkid Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 are you sure you havnt done any convos before because that is ace Quote
painter Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Excellent work, i would go for the wooden floor Quote
texas Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 great piece off work you have there. Also nice limited fendt tractors you have. texas Quote
Tractorman810 Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 dam thats a pretty impressive first attempt there, mind you helps if you have the real thing outside to measuer up and look at to mind Quote
graham Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 very nice cracking job i think wooden floor but i think most come out with steel floors these days but nice model Quote
britainswomble Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Lovely looking trailer and a really strong looking body. (The real one) As for your models............well............. they do look really good. I personally prefer the wooden floor for looks, and on the real thing; because the bales don't slide around on side slopes, like they do on a steel floor. I reckon you should make a few dozen of those and put them up for sale at a price comparable to Siku's trailers. I would have thought there would be a very good market for them. Quote
pbmoynan Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 thats bloody nice .what wheels did you use?? Quote
mad4machines Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Wow!! Thats a really professional first attempt!! Well done mate! Either wood or steel floor would do it 4 me, I am curious as to where you got the wheels / tyres from?? Quote
PDC Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Are those wheels from the UH Claas round baler ??? I see you can buy them on there own from mini-toys ;) Quote
robl12 Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 The trailers look great I must say I like the one with the chequer plate best. Quote
farmernick06 Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Excellent mate, i like it alot, the decals are looking great. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the near future Quote
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Brilliant stuff. Chequer plate for contractors, wooden floor for farmers Quote
alpinefocus Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 they look quite smart, wheels set it off well Quote
bigbelluk Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks for all the comments Time to answer a few questions:- One set of wheels are from a joskin cattle trailer, the ones on the wooden floored one are from an old JD tipping trailer which i think was possibly made by ERTL The wooden floored one is 24 foot and the chequered plate one is 26ft Next scratch build i plan to have a go at is a McConnel Topper which also happens to be sitting in the yard outside!
