Trailed Forager oh i cant decide

[margerisons]

I'm thinking about making my own Trailed Forager,I'm open t what make as I wanted Taarup but too tricky to make and not enough pictures with every suggestion i ask you to have a photo of it or a link all help is greatly appreciated

[Deere-est]

Got your pm mate. Will have a think, havn't done anything like this though. Depending on age you may find a baler pick up better suited width wise than the 695 style. For the spout, scratch build maybe?

[margerisons]

well i want a modern- ish one was thinking using the nh small square baler pick up  or the nh large square baler pickup depending on what make i decide to do.heres a spout im thinking of using with some modifying mostly shortening 

[Deere-est]

If you cut from the base of the ram 90deg aross the bottom of the spout you would dramatically change the angle at which it mounts. Making it very suited to the trailed foragers' upright spout rather than the slender spfh spouts mounting angle

[margerisons]

\ well can you draw me a picture of that :D

[Deere-est]

No I can't, I'm at a barbecue

Basically put the spout down on a surface in the position it would be mounted to the machine it came off. Rotate it anti-clockwise and you will find where it would look best suited to a trailed machine and cut. Then find the correct hieght/length and cut the other end.

[Jez]

[margerisons]

what if i still dont get it so i cut where the arrow is point or between the lines sorry im not a handyman at all  :D

[margerisons]

so where do i cut ???nevermind i get it now :D

[margerisons]

now when i get this cut at the top should i make it so the flap can move?

[Jez]

now when i get this cut at the top should i make it so the flap can move?

Yes indeed

[margerisons]

ok after planning all this what make should it be?

[margerisons]

ok but at all the pictures i have been finding the spout is on the drawbar side or in the middle i cant find any on the side that the orginal britains forager is on.can someone help me with this problem

[Lord Ferguson]

Does this help...

[margerisons]

well your giving me ideas of what make but what i see the spout is in the middle vearing towards the drawbar side but my britains forage harvester isn't like this

[margerisons]

thanks Potatoman and thanks Fergie for the MF pic

[margerisons]

I have decided to do a New Holland 715 or 740 I think i'll try to make it so the grass header can come off then try and get a maize header if possible but what about decals 

[Deere-est]

Jez read my mind on the spout perfectly. Now, for an idea. How about cutting the drawbar and header mounting off of the Britains forager and turning it round. Thus putting the spout on the other side. Start all over again with the back now being the front. Build a new drawbar and build up the chopper unit from scratch. Could be a lot of work but worth considering maybe.

[margerisons]

pretty good idea but remeber i dont use plastruct so there is were my problem is. i cant get plastruct over here and i dont want to ship it over as it will just be another cost of many costs \

[Deere-est]

Try Evergreen, similar stuff.

[Jez]

Naturally tris  ;) :D

If it was me i would buidld this:

Also seen on a quadtrac at Grassland 2008

I also think that would suit your set up and size mate  ;)
