lightningtiger Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Since I made a new tractor, well I needed somewhere to sell it......... They sell more than tractors, pumps, digging tools, irrgation and fencing materials plug spreaders and sprayers too. I'll be making some new spreaders and sprayers to go into the sales yard. Comments welcome and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
jonwil Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 You need a Combine Harvester to go with that tractor :) Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks 'jonwil' for your reply. a harvester eh ? I'll think about it - besides I have designed on good old LDD my sprayer and spreader (similar to my old design though). I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Rufus Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Looking good so far, lightningtiger, though I agree with gotoAndLego - you're going to need lots of tractors in different colours! You need a Combine Harvester to go with that tractor :) If you use Lego's official Combine, you're gonna need a much bigger forecourt Quote
prateek Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 You're going to need several tractors. Agreed. Maybe just another tractor up front would be sufficient. Great job on the shop, and the stickers are great as usual Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks 'gotoAndLego', 'Rufus' and 'prateek' for all your comments ! Glad people like my stickers - thanks again. Now I'm might just be knocking up a twin for the one in the front, also leaving room for the sprayers and spreaders too. Be done a.s.a.p. I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Milan Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 I agree on more tractor units, also, some bigger additional farming equipment would be nice. I like the stickers! Quote
dr_spock Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 It's a good start, lightningtiger. I think it could use some more inventory such as more tractors, accessories like front load buckets, trailers, used equipment, etc. Quote
Grimmy Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 I like it. It's a nice little shop with good room for tractors and to sell "other stuff." Now I know where to get a good trackter when I buy my farm. I'm sure you'll give me a good deal since I'm a Lego forum acquaintance. Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks goes out to ''Milan', 'dr_spock' and 'Grimmy' for your comments. Don't worry by the middle of next week at least one more tractor plus a few sprayers and spreaders (both kinds of the Silvan brand name stickered on them). I'm a conformist! ! Quote
slacker int Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 This is coming along nice 'tiger and it has the potential to be great with all the suggestions and possibilities. On the smaller scale, I don't know if there is any grass New Mannum but perhaps you could include for sale a ride on lawnmower like the one in the poly-bag released last year. lawn tractor Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks 'slacker int' for your comments - hey a ride on mower eh ? I'll think about that one, actually being trying to work on a design for one for a little while - don't forget chain saws, motor bikes, quads and humble power generators too ! Man, I'm going to be busy in the next week (footnote - after this I'll be back working on the Xray Clinc with it's roof and other rooms - maybe becoming a medical centre). I'm a conformist! everyone ! Quote
slacker int Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 hey a ride on mower eh ? I'll think about that one, actually being trying to work on a design for one for a little while I have two designed if they would be of any help... cheers! adam Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 Thanks for the ideas 'slacker int', the first one looks more like the type I might be MOCing up. Today I should be starting on the second tractor and accessories to be put on display. Tomorrow, I'll sticker everything including the tractors ! I'm a conformist! everyone ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 Here we go, like I promised at least a spreader and a sprayer (w/tank)........ The spreader fitted on to the back of a tractor. The sprayer fitted on to the back of a tractor (spray arms folded up). Said sprayer with it's spray arms folded down to start spraying. Another angle to see the power feed from the tractor engine that powers the spray pump. These will be stickered (hopefully tomorrow), comments welcome and I'm a conformist! everyone ! Quote
samurai-turtle Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Your "Sprayer" needs a bigger liquid tank, the ones I have seen had a big round tank to hold the chemicals/water in. Here is a picture of what I am talking about. http://files.kooybros.com/Agro%20Trend%20T...%20AT0110FU.jpg Quote

Here is a picture of what I am talking about. http://files.kooybros.com/Agro%20Trend%20T...%20AT0110FU.jpg Yeah, I think so too - I'll be making it one brick deeper so it can come a bit closer to this..... of course minus the hose reel (there's no room for that !) Thanks 'samuraiturtle' for your comment anyway, oh yeah I'm a conformist! ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 Well I have redesigned the sprayer with a bigger tank and a way to fill it too ! What do you all think ? Comments are still as welcome as before and really I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Rufus Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Nice work, LT! I love seeing all your little tweaks and improvements in response to people's feedback Keep 'em coming! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 Nice work, LT! I love seeing all your little tweaks and improvements in response to people's feedback Keep 'em coming! Thanks 'Rufus' , yeah I like my sprayer unit better this way and also that's what I want, peoples ideas, etc., it makes for better designs. So everyone keep those suggestions comming and I'm a conformist! ! Quote

Comments are still as welcome as before and really I'm a conformist! ! That is an improvement to the last one. It is closer to the picture you shown. I was just pointing out what I seen on my dad's farm. If you do make a bigger one, I did seen ones with wheels on it (dad's farm again). (I guess I should of mention that early but I must of forgot to.) Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 Thanks for the reply 'samuraiturtle' , you gave me the idea to make it bigger and more realistic - stickering is this afternoon (S.A. time) - working on a new quad bike design and also adding colour to my grey dirt bike to make it look like a Honda one. I'm a conformist! ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 29, 2010 Author Posted March 29, 2010 The sprayer and spreader plus tractor have stickers, also a new quad bike design too. Comments very welcome and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 G'day everyone.....I've hit a brickwall so to speak. I need some more sugestions if you all could..........I'm doing a trail bike in red stickering tomorrow I hope, but I want to create some more things to put in the sales yard......I know I still have one tractor to make but still I need more things ! So any ideas......I would be very thankful for .........I'm a conformist! everyone ! Quote
