AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

Hi together!

Hereby I want to present my actual project:
The scale should be about 1/16 (as far as I could take dimensions from the pics in the brochure on the AGCO website...)

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

Looking great so far. Can't wait to see it finished.

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

Very neat! I'm also looking forward to seeing the progress. Discbine, or haybine head? I think a discbine head would be a lot easier to build! It could probably be functional too.

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

Today I connected the frame of the mower to the chassis and I started with some parts for the cab:

The drive motors for the front wheels and the mower discs are already ordered. For the discs I´ll take 2 brushless motors (12 Volts, 31000rpm) with a belt transmission to the discs (ratio 3:1).
The next parts to be ordered will be the tothed belts and pulleys for the discs.

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

The TLT used a toothed belt for the transmission if I recall correctly. Pulleys might be harder to find unless you have a different source

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

I´ll take them from this supplier:

...gears, joint shafts, pulleys, belts...they got a big choice of standard parts...

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

...again some progress...

Nice work on the platform and ladder. Not to mention the entire machine.

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

Just a few small seps, but they go forward:
Windshield and right side window are fixed, handrails are new...:

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

Very cool... nice work

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

Great progress! Keep going. I am enjoying this build a lot. Everything is looking really good right now. The handrails are perfect. Can't wait to see this model completed. It's going to be sharp!

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

Hey the 60's called and they want the drivers clothes back. LOL Just kidding its looking great, and I can't wait to see it finished.

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

...maybe the driver should get grey hair...? :rolleyes:

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

Nice one Frank!
