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.

Nice work, looks great. how about a car carrier or a flat bed trailer?

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:
