Well folks, I finished it up this weekend and got some work done on the Mega Planter Seed Tender...more to come on that. Here we go: Unlike most of my "carpet friendly" tillage equipment, this time I went with a drawbar hitch and hydraulic hoses. Oops, missed a spot on the touch painting...Ill get it later. I had an input to lengthen the tongue hitch and I am sure glad I did. I usually make mine extra long to clear triples. This time I wanted to be exact and it came out pretty good. I picked up some flexibel necklace wire that does not have metal core. I used this on outer lift cylinders, so the hose runs across the wing fold hinge point and across the tongue hitch hinge mount. Works well there too. Here I even added hoses to the salvaged JD 697 Hyd cylinders. Although I have not tried pulling it in the long shag, it pulls nice in the short shag.

Looks great. It turned out good. What's your mega-machine shed look like. Keep up on the mega equipment line.

That looks good, but I think you have a lot more tractor than disk :-)

Thanks for the nice compliments...it sure makes my sore temper feel better for all the cuss words I used Reese: Ah...Your right I need a big shed. I have a big one, but not big enough. Steelin: I probably have too little tractor vs disk. Please not this has 13 ripper shanks between the disk gangs. Its going to pull hard. After this is a service truck, seed drill, sprayer and then we will see. My standby list is growing.

Thanks but no, I only build for myself or for my brother. In actuality, my work is not that realistic or model quality looking. I would suggest you just keep checking around here or Facebook, there is a lot of talent out there that I know can build what you are looking for.
Despite that, give it a try yourself. Its tough sometimes at first, but the more you build the better you get.
