Default 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...)

I´ll take two geared morors for the transmission...

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.

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.

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

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!
