Here are some more silage equipment projects.
The truck used to be a grain truck. After stretching it 20 inches (scale), I will mount a silage box on it. I have 6 more of these to do.

The last photo is another one of the silage boxes, only this one will go on a re-painted Cat VFS tracked under carriage. This reduces compaction in the fields. I have several of these to do as well. I am thinking about pulling them double, using hydraulics to power the unloading. (normally they are unloaded with the pto from the tractor)


This is my #1 project. This will be something like the Claas machine made in Europe. It will be a silage chopper that pulls a semi trailer. Also my workbench; In this picture I am wondering about the semi trailer I will use for silage hauling. I am thinking about putting a raisable top on it so silage doesn't blow out going down the road.


The Maintenance building where-in is my workbench.

Well, here we go. I got the idea for a blog about what goes on behind and around the CBC workshop.
Behind the shop is my hobby bench. I build 1/64th farm toys back there.
Around the shop will be the goings on of the Maintenance Dept of CBC.
