Here we have the new chute I made for the chopper. Still needs a design modification and painting, but the arch is right!
The disc chisel is being repainted, I will have 3 of them when completed.
The two trucks being repainted are silage haulers. I decided to paint all silage haulers Forest Green, I think they came out great! Probly have to add some striping or something. Also the Silver diamond on the door.
And finally, I think the 16V747 BigBud is cool sitting next to two of todays biggest tractors!!




Of course they didn't load in order, but we have before and after of three of my silage haulers.
The cabover truck is a combination of two trucks, I made a two axle semi truck into a four axle twin steer straight truck with a silage box. It doesn't dump, but I like the result.
The realistic silage wagon is mounted on a Cat VFS tracked under-carriage. I have several of these to be pulled in tandem by a tracked tractor. They will unload via hydraulic drive rather than normal pto drive.
Finally the long trailer is a trial, the farm isn't sure they will like it, but they are going to try it out. Obviously it will be pulled by a CaseIH Quadtrack. Should look good if nothing else!
The fourth piece being primed is part of another project I will be posting before long.
Oh yeah, like my paintbooth? Not really a booth, but it works. Whatever I find available outside the shop that can stand having another shade of paint. My next post will be a different location.
