Tractor w/silage plow,(Cowboys first Freddybuilt)
 
Musta done something right when I built my tractors,good enough so that ole-Paul asked little-o-Me to build him a 4x4 tractor.
Just happened to have one on hand.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...uckPics786.jpg
He also asked if I could build one of these for the front of the tractor.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...uckPics788.jpg
So first cut out the plow plow frame & blade.

Paul asked me to do him up a Steiger. (He just loves Ford tractors:rolleyes:)That's why I didn't mention the make of the tractor in the title.
So here is a pic of the blade in front of the real soon to be Paul's r/c silage pushin tractor.

I'm likin' this guys! Seeing more and more ag stuff is neat. And a setup like this will be a great addition to the meets when it comes to organizing and reshaping the rubber piles!:)

Yeah he does it is very nice but would never hold up to any use I looked at one at a toy show and they are just for show only and he is not easy to work with he will not give you any measurements it all I tryed with no luck as i was looking at getting one when I first got the tractor. Plus $485 dollar blade you cant use is junk..

Claus 10-22-2011 05:08 PM

Re: Tractor w/silage plow,(Cowboys first Freddybuilt)
 
Maybe not made for an RC but junk, I don't think so.

Brian in PA 10-22-2011 06:30 PM

Re: Tractor w/silage plow,(Cowboys first Freddybuilt)
 
Wow that blade us pretty nice. the detail is great! I can see how it may be to fragile for RC applications.

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...uckPics843.jpg
Well Paul,kinda looks like this is going to be the steering servo.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...uckPics845.jpg
I can't get the other one to work! Plus this baby will break the tractor in half,before it doesn't turn.:eek:
Thanks for lookin!

Re: Tractor w/silage plow,(Cowboys first Freddybuilt)
 
I told you that you would like that motor! And that servo is 333oz she has some snort but that other 645 was brand new so i not sure why it would not work did you try it somewhere else?? Looking good too cant wait..

Ok TC! She's starten to take form.
Steering.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...uckPics846.jpg

Ok there Rob.;)
Yea Paul,this baby is real strong! Might of gone a tad overkill on the frameing.But better than having it fold up under the tractor when your into some real pushin!
So...here's some pics & a vid of my progress.

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...uckPics861.jpg
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...uckPics862.jpg
This short vid shows the liftin power this baby has.Don't need a jack to change the front tires.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...uckPics860.jpg
Might put a little faster motor in it,she could be a tad faster on the up & down.But if it's to fast,it really makes it hard to control a smooth grade.
Maybe,give her a test outside before I change anything.
Thanks for lookin!

Looks pretty stout there Freddy! What kind of servo is that?

Brian

Tamiya Cowboy 10-30-2011 05:10 PM

Re: Tractor w/silage plow,(Cowboys first Freddybuilt)
 
Wow Freddy it is really looking great you are doing it just the way I thought you would that is why I asked you to built the blade..

Little faster wont hurt but what volts are you running it on remember the tractor is 11.1 not 7.2..That will make it run faster..

Brian I and pretty sure it is a winch motor and gear box..

For the steering?

Re: Tractor w/silage plow,(Cowboys first Freddybuilt)
 
I believe that's a HiTec servo you are asking about, Brian. Judging from the aluminum case, with the heat sink cut-outs, I'm guessing it's a 5755, or one of the new 7900 series servos. The newer 7900 series servos can be run on 7.2 volts for some killer torque and speed. Freddy said it was something around 330 ounces of torque, but that is definitely not the strongest offered.

WOW! I didnt realize they made servos that strong.

Re: Tractor w/silage plow,(Cowboys first Freddybuilt)
 
OOpps yeah it is a 7955 333oz servo they do make some bigger but you have to run a big bec to keep the volts up..

Re: Tractor w/silage plow,(Cowboys first Freddybuilt)
 
That front blade is the bee's knees. I think I know what I'm adding to my tractor for this winter. The side walk will be nice and clean in about ten mins and I'll be nice and toasty inside the house. :D

Brian, HiTec has some that will do 400 plus on 7.2 volts. I think I even saw some that do 500 ounces....no make that 600. http://www.servocity.com/html/hs-7980th_servo.html
