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."

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?

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.

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

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!!!!!

true, thats another reason i like tractors.. i think they may have missed the ball on this one .. may be a bit too cheezy for me..
