Cue Bob making a harvester from parts lying around the workshop!   Painted blue of course 

 

 

 And then patiently rebuilding it six weeks later when a twenty-three-year-old has rolled it down a bank of stumps and into a river. The twenty-three-year-old couldn’t fix it with a felling lever so he put that through a chipper and went home.

Took a old knackered tow behind quick chip and turned it into a handy little pto machine which was fine on our old 90hp tractor but the 150hp valtra is definitely overkill on it. 3f75ae82f9bf79562639a114eac35901.jpgcef546560a45fcf4ea89250275339631.jpg712aee5c7fade570a5c43e37705f4466.jpg

No never has, you just stand and work the stop bar but to be fair even a 6" full tree didn't slow it down on either tractor. Not used anymore as we have a 10" farmi so don't know what to do with it as gearbox is worth as much as rest of machine.

We stretched a new Wacker 15 ton excavator blade a couple of weeks ago & added 5" each side so we could fit 800mm steel tracks to allow the machine to work on boggy ground. Its not every day we are doing work like this but it is rewarding in a strange sort of way when we do :001_smile:

Few shots of this weeks two projects before tractor goes back on site next week. New roller built from 140mm tube, with 50mm solid bar through the centre. Disks are 10mm laser cut. Roller is just under 2.8m long.

Second is some light(ish) belly guarding for the tractor. 6mm plate bolted to the chassis with 6 mounts. Once finished it will have a bolt on tank guard and integrated lower step.
