    Default 6 tractors and 6 different trailers.

    Hi lads,

    Started making 6 tractors with a view of giving them 6 different trailers. So far I've started on a round baler and a low loader.
    Further trailers will be a horse box and a tipping trailer. Any idea's for the remaining 2?

    The build of the tractors and tipping trailer can be found here: https://www.woodworkforums.com/f174/p...actors-153455/

    Just a few pictures of what I have so far, all wood is yet to be sanded and finished properly. I prefer to work backwards sometime, haha. Anyway, enjoy.

    And one of the 6 identical tractors held together by double sided tape for now.

    Could get much done over the last while, hail, snow, freezing tempratures and work kept me out of the shed.

    Managed this in an hour today:
    Didnt like the low loader so I made a new one, looks a lot better I think. It still needs a good bit of work:

    And this is the harvester, the top can open so you can put a bale in and let it roll out of the back. It still needs fenders and the like but the basic shape isn't to bad I think:

    Trailer looking good and the bailer will once you have added the last bits. I presume the bailer is for the large round bails they go for now
