Tractor w/silage plow,(Cowboys first Freddybuilt)

[FreddyGearDrive]

Musta done something right when I built my tractors,good enough so that ole-Paul asked little-o-Me to build him a 4x4 tractor.
Just happened to have one on hand.

He also asked if I could build one of these for the front of the tractor.

So first cut out the plow plow frame & blade.










Paul asked me to do him up a Steiger. (He just loves Ford tractors)That's why I didn't mention the make of the tractor in the title.
So here is a pic of the blade in front of the real soon to be Paul's r/c silage pushin tractor.

Thanks for lookin!

I'm likin' this guys! Seeing more and more ag stuff is neat. And a setup like this will be a great addition to the meets when it comes to organizing and reshaping the rubber piles!

Yeah he does it is very nice but would never hold up to any use I looked at one at a toy show and they are just for show only and he is not easy to work with he will not give you any measurements it all I tryed with no luck as i was looking at getting one when I first got the tractor. Plus $485 dollar blade you cant use is junk..

[Claus]

Maybe not made for an RC but junk, I don't think so.

Wow that blade us pretty nice. the detail is great! I can see how it may be to fragile for RC applications.

FreddyGearDrive what are the tires and wheels you are using on the Ford in this thread? I did not see them in your other builds.

Now you told me you had more picks this morning and you have not posted them your just being a turd now..

[FreddyGearDrive]

YEE-HA! Now don't be gittin them panti's in a twist. Good work takes time!
I don't understand how this motor can be a 7 turn?? Cause it don't turn none to fast,wide open.I just might have to get me one of these!
Here you go,Progress!


Well Paul,kinda looks like this is going to be the steering servo.

I can't get the other one to work! Plus this baby will break the tractor in half,before it doesn't turn.
Thanks for lookin!

I told you that you would like that motor! And that servo is 333oz she has some snort but that other 645 was brand new so i not sure why it would not work did you try it somewhere else?? Looking good too cant wait..

[Claus]

This one isn't going to be to bad,might even have room to spare.
Ok TC! She's starten to take form.
Steering.

Gotta have a way to lift the plow.


Then had to Freddie the rims.

Now she's starten to look ready for action.


Now a nice cuttin edge on the blade.

Hows that so far Pauly?
Thanks for lookin!

Ok there Rob.
Yea Paul,this baby is real strong! Might of gone a tad overkill on the frameing.But better than having it fold up under the tractor when your into some real pushin!
So...here's some pics & a vid of my progress.




This short vid shows the liftin power this baby has.Don't need a jack to change the front tires.

Might put a little faster motor in it,she could be a tad faster on the up & down.But if it's to fast,it really makes it hard to control a smooth grade.
Maybe,give her a test outside before I change anything.
Thanks for lookin!
