Great project, I'm guessing you are getting away with the low power requirement due to the low speeds. Since the panel output nominally equals the motor requirement I'm guessing it should run for free as along as the sun is shining. That's almost as good as the efficiencies quoted by the Fendt...

Does it give a good sample, much losses over the back? Not a contractors machine but cant see why there's not a niche for them as a farmers machine. A combine is a bit of an investment for a small acreage.

Looks in good nick as well. How many acres did you cover with it? What tractor is on the trailer?

blue water pip for me as well, a mixture of plasson hand tightened couplings and the talbot pushfit ones and all hold air fine.

I'd say you got a good deal. I did the same with a B-275 about 4 years ago. the engine was a bare block with all the bits in boxes but it had a good set of tinwork. I paid similar money and considered it a fair deal.

I prepared ours a few weeks ago. Hoping it will be seen for a few miles around when I celebrate her majesties reign tonight. And before anybody asks the diggers not included in the bonfire 🤣

Has he already left, where about is he?

i sold my old dump trailer body to the scrappy yesterday. The springs on the back of his pickup were reasonably flat.

I made one with an automatic syringe, a drench bottle and a stick with some sponge on the end. I’ll get a pic when I get back to the shed.

Time for rolling again.

Upgraded the bleed stud in my roller from M10 to M12 due to corrosion issues.

A trip out yesterday to rake some hay for a neighbour

I just realised theres pics of mine further up this thread! Have a look above. 😀

This is a copy from my order. It was back in October 2017.

No idea about the type of paint. Mine is something close to Ford blue but I asked for that colour. Not sure what the standard colour is. From memory I think the floor was 8mm and sides 6mm but I speced a thicker floor. Either 10 or 12 mm. Mines a flat bottomed one with ramps stored underneath...

I have one about 3 or 4 years old now. Solid trailer with plenty of steel but paint is poor to be fair. Mine ha spent most of its life under cover albeit sometimes a Dutch barn but is looking scabby now. The paint looked thick enough but I think surface prep was a bit lacking. Still a good...

Looks well. Any plans to add a ram to flick up the tines? Or maybe leave it manual and you can secure them in the folded position with a bit of baler twine keeping yourself safely in this thread! Are you going to weld caps on the uprights?

I can’t wait to see how you salvage this post. I see you being banished to the engineering thread as soon as s the bodge it police get sight of this. 😀. Looking good though. 👍

Apologies for the wrong order. This is spraying off the grass before ploughing.
