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.

For the winter time.

This is normally one of our mowers. I welded the bracket that goes into the hole so it will support the pallet of salt. It pulls a spreader for salting some of our streets. You can see the ropes used to turn the spreader on and off, tied to the support next to the seat.

Students are hard on furniture.

Some of what I do at the shop.

Electric motors frequently go out. Have to tear it apart and intsall a new one.


Giba (our resident Brazilian missionary) really gets into his work!

Hmm, what could Dave be thinking about?
For those who don't know, John Deere has a 120', 48 row planter on the market.
It just so happens that is how wide this is to scale!
