Hello everyone! I'm new here. A big reason for joining the forum was I spotted rc_farmer's fabulous 8103 Terragator! I freaked! I actually saw it some time back on the Toy Tractor Times (I think) and re-spotted it again here. Nice work rc-farmer! Ag Chem equipment is special to me since I own and operate a fertilizer retail facility in Wyoming. We have 4 Terragators and I recently purchased an 854 Rogator. Soon afterwards, I decided to build a scale model of it. Started in mid-September and here is the progress, more or less to date. It is not remote controlled, but will be a static model in 1/16th scale and is entirely scratch built except for the cab. When finished, the 90' booms will be 5 1/2 feet wide.
The real machine:
I have about 175 hours into the build and the rig is about 3/5 done.
Here is a video of me playing on the real machine.
