    Wow it's been awhile since I visited this forum and you did a lot of great work. Nice progress all around and like you i'm pretty pleased with Lego adding more tractor tyres to their assortment. I unfortunately slipped back into a dark age and don't see myself coming out of it soon. As much as I love lego the prices are just too much for me at the moment.
  2. Sjoemie himself
    Not really anything I can help you with i'm afraid.. Taking shape. I like how you combine Technic and system components. Makes it look like a Lego designed Technic model.

    Sooo it's been a while since i've posted here.. reason being that life happened Anyway also been a while since i've looked at my lego but recently i've gotten the itch to build a thing or two. Most of them are not complete and maybe never will be but I like building and it's a stress relief so why not? Pictures? Sure! Without many words. Just wanted to share them because in my opinion there are way to little tractors being built in lego form and even less tractor pullers. So here goes.. Ford County 754 Mini puller or 'mini rod' as i believe they call them in the USA.. Unlimited tractor puller with three turbine engines And last but not least, unlimited tractor puller with 16 cylinder radial engine WIP

    That is why I chose the Versatile. Nice and square
  5. Sjoemie himself
    You are right, newer Versatile tractors have a dark brownish red and white paint sceme. I would like to build this with Claas tires someday but I will have to gather some parts first and make somekind of blueprint. This I just built off of pictures so the scale and dimensions might be a little off. I also agree with you on the ballon tires, they look like garbadge on a tractor. That is why I used third party tires for the pullers. For these smaller tractors I like the old technic tire, they are 'close enough' to true agricultural tires. By the way, I do like your John Deere technic model. You've captured the lines and overall shape very well

    Interesting. Are you planning on building tractor pullers? Been working on getting something out of my head again. This time it is a Versatile 936 tractor. No functions to speak of. I just wanted to build a tractor like this in a small(ish) scale. And lets be honest, that colour combination is just awesome on a tractor.

    This is absolutely crazy and absolutely impressive at the same time. Must have been a hell of a job to engineer this beast. Congratulations on this massive build. Also.. Technic Hall of Fame??
  8. Sjoemie himself
    Wow, so many motors in such a tight space, impressive! Maybe I should re-design the Snoopy aswell..
  9. Sjoemie himself
    Good one. Did not think about that
  10. Sjoemie himself
    So you've already found some time ? Curious to see some pictures. I can understand that the hood and 3 point hitches are a challenge. Space is pretty limited Indeed. Yes! Thanks you! I could not find it with the search function or in 'my activity'. I'm glad the thread is still there including pictures..
  11. Sjoemie himself
    12 pullers, really? Do you have pictures of them? Would be cool to see some pictures of pullers created by others. Which tires do you use on your pulling tractors?
  12. Sjoemie himself
    I'll keep that in mind, thank you. For now i'm having to much fun with the pullers. Will post an update tomorrow.
  13. Sjoemie himself
    At a stand still for now, just like my IH 'snoopy' or 'anteater' (thread seems to be lost) but i'm sure you'll find some time and motivation in the future to work on your JCB again.
  14. Sjoemie himself
    Thought about it.. i'll maybe try that later. As of now I could'nt think of a mechanism to drive the front wheels realistically. The original tractor has two seperate driveshafts, one to each wheel, to power the front axle. With the Claas wheel size you would have some more room but still it would be difficult to make it look and function like the real thing.
  15. Sjoemie himself
    I saw that you commented on my topic and it made me remember that you were working on this JCB. Glad i found your thread again because you have made great progress on this tractor
  16. Sjoemie himself
    Wow so many positive comments. Thank you all! I'm working on all of the tractors at once so progress on one particular tractor can be slow. I'll work on one until i get stuck or run out of parts and move on to the next. When i have progress i will post some new pictures. @Maaboo35 thank you. Glad you like the County. I had it in my head for a little while and decided to build it simple to get it out of my system
  17. Sjoemie himself
    Thank you both. I agree that the Ford fits pretty good in the line of the first technic models like the red (MF) tractor.
  18. Sjoemie himself
    Nice progress on the Syn-Trac Igor. Unimog looks nice as well.
  19. Sjoemie himself
    Nice work Igor, it really turned out really well. Also i'm looking forward to your next project. Will be interesting to see which functions you'll incorporate into that model. I'm taking a break from my tractor, 42055 finally arrived
  20. Sjoemie himself
    I checked their website and this is indeed a very versatile machine. Looking forward tot that build but first the JCB ofcourse
  21. Sjoemie himself
    Wow, I would never have guessed your next project. What is it and what is it used for? Great picture, thank you. I think you have captured the look of the JCB very well. It's looking nice and robust, just like the real thing.
  22. Sjoemie himself
    Nice to see some progress again Igor. The shape of the cab turned out really well, could you perhaps post a picture from the side from a little distance. I would have to agree that the yellow and black go well together. About you next project.. if that is going to be a system tractor as well all I can think of, in (db)g and red, is Schlüter?
  23. Sjoemie himself
    Great progress on the Massey. I kind of lost track of this topic but luckily you updated again. Are you planning on building any implements for this MF? And as said above great to see that all tractor fans are getting together
  24. Sjoemie himself
    @I_Igor If you need some inspiration for implements.. Found this pretty awesome combination.
  25. Sjoemie himself
    @I_Igor thank you, you are right. I was on several forums before this one. Unfortunately they kind of bled out because of people resorting to Facebook to post and share. Since I don't use that I'm glad that this forum has many members who are active. @eric trax thank you very much. I've looked at your models for inspiration many times. I especially like that you combine technic and system elements so well. I'm hoping to post a new update tomorrow or sunday.
