Cheer's, Neil.

[Grainfarmer]

Great job! Looks good...

[Stuart]

Great brass work and certainly different...

[dmess62]

Now thats cool. I'll be watching this one. Are you gonna make it where it can actually spray. It'd be cool to be able to spray your yard from a lawnchair. I can imagine the looks on the neighbors faces now. LOL

[mazdaparts]

That is looking great. Nice metalwork.

[carp]

thats going to be quite a beast, where did you source the tyres for it? are they imex duallys?

[rc_farmer]

I am patiently waiting to see it make its first swath :D

[rowings farms]

thank you guys for the kind words. the rear tires a sourced from scale models. they are the rear tires off 1/8 scale john deere b.

[rowings farms]

anyone have guess what this is besides a penny ?

[Acadieman]

nice work! that diff is well built.
Can't wait to see the build finished!

[Espeefan]

Wow! Extremely nice metal fabrication and machining skills. It's always neat to see a scratchbuilt piece of farm equipment.

[Dieselchopper]

Nice work, can't wait to see it done!

[Snochaser]

This thing is awesome, saw it in Indy........COMPLETED! Amazing job! Very talented builder. It was truly awesome to see dueling sprayers in action the Apache and Rob's TerraGator.

[Espeefan]

Great video! Thanks for sharing the updates. The boom folds up so smoothly. I like that you have a full set of hydraulics on this model.

[Skylineracer]

This is pretty awesome! great job looks like the real thing

[doodlebug]

Cool!

Cheers, Neil.

[rc_farmer]

This rig is awsome...i have seen it in person and it is detailed down to the the last spray nozzel. I went to the Memphis Gin and Cotton show a couple back and one of the vendors represented apache. I showed them a video i had of this from Indy. They thought it was store bought. It is a museum piece.

[Acadieman]

that's awesome!

[rowings farms]

thank you guys for the kind words. hey rob that's cool to hear, i ditched the nimh battery and went lipo and get about 2 1/2 hours run time now. i will load video of it spraying tomorrow.

[rowings farms]
