Here is my newest conversion. I did not build this, but will be converting it to rc. It's going to take a minute to do this. Dismantling it now and building parts.

Paul, who makes the pull scrapers? I didn't see them at first when I looked until you mentioned it, its kinda like the picture of a woman and you miss the truck in the background.

Ben, I got this picker from a friend of mine out of Missouri. He build them and the pull-behind scrapers. He's got a module build that I will add to my farm scene later.

[Snochaser]

Thanks Rob, they sure look nice. He should be proud of his work.

I want to make the header raise and lower, the basket up and down and the boll buggy loader open. That's the idea......so we will see what ican fit in there. Gonna have to go hydraulic to have a decent shot at it I think.

[hauler_10-4]

Keep a eye on this build. If anybody can pull it off it would be you Rob.

[rc_farmer]

For those of you who don't know the intricate mechanics of a cotton picker, here it is. I had/have to remake many of the alumunium pieces from .32 brass. It is coming to together nicely.

[woodhog]

Holy cow a cotton picker bomb went off on your tableLooks like it is coming together or apart nicely axle looks good under it

[gear jammer]

That's going to be great it looked awesome at Jackson n it's gonna b even better as an RC

[mazdaparts]

WOW Rob, that looks like a lot of parts. If thats not a spare table in a spare room you must be married to a saint. I can't keep a caulking gun or tools in the laundry room for more than a day or two before I am told to get them put way much less a project of this magnitude.
Oh and I hope you have a manual or took lots of pics. Good luck with it.
