Re: She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy
Well, I said I was done, but after seeing this sitting on the counter at work every day, I had to make a few cosmetic improvements.
First, I shortened the whole thing an inch, which brought it more to scale. Then, I re-did the grille, 3-point linkage, and added wheel inserts and drag link.....You know what they say, "You are you're own worst critic."

Re: She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy
That is one trick looking Tractor! It looks really scalle looking and the lawn attachment is a nice touch. So are you going to use this for pulling class?

Re: She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy
Thanks a lot. I was really just going for scale, but I don't think the power transfer would be too good for pulling. Most pullers I've seen have a direct drive, and I'm running a gearbox with a driveshaft....Still, I would be curious to see how it pulls.

Re: She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy
i really like this stuff .. i wish tamiya made rc tractors.. i bet they could make a real nice tractor and sell them for less then $150.. (no shocks no diffs no slippers = cheap to make) it would be cool if they made tractor attachments too.. good job making your own stuff

Re: She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy
I guess I had better apply for a trademark pretty soon! ....There wasn't an image posted on their site, but I read the specs. At least mine has an adjustable gear ratio, slipper, and lights....and BTW, tractors don't have shocks!!!!!longboardnj wrote:is tamiya watching this site?? http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=58556
