Posted October 26, 201311 yr EDIT-Updated pictures. Here is a preview of my entry into the contest. 1. Harvester Features: HOG steering 1 Small linear actuator for shoot 2 Small linear actuators for raise/lower header Right wheel drives chain through elevator, which then turns the head. 2. Tractor HOG center pivot steering Articulating front axle Working I4 motor Lift/Lower 3 point hitch Rear wheel drives pto 3. Harvest Truck HOG steering 1 small actuator for tipping bed How many pieces each? Who knows. I know there isn't many in the Harvest Truck, but I think the Harvester and Tractor have more than 500 each, so I should be close. Let me know what you think, or maybe advice on what to change before the official entry, Thanks for looking! Glenn Edited October 27, 201311 yr by gmshades
October 26, 201311 yr Looking good, I love the harvester! Do real tractors have hoods like that? Maybe at least an engine for the tractor, I see tons of space for functions in the tractor and harvest truck. I guess piece count is a burden, but I think making the tractor PTO attachment smaller is a viable option. I think maybe a total revamp of the tractor may be in order, but the rest of the project is amazing! I also like to see the use of those small balloon tyres, they look great.
October 27, 201311 yr Do real tractors have hoods like that? It's a American long nose tractor much like the 'T' cab trucks.They are not very common,so I am glad you choose to build one. The combine is the best in my opinion.
October 27, 201311 yr I like how downsizing has given the models cartoony proportions, particularly the tractor. Cute. As for the photos, I recommend lots of natural light and a tripod.

October 27, 201311 yr Looking good. The wheels on the truck don't look right to me. Where are they from? H
October 27, 201311 yr Author Looking good. The wheels on the truck don't look right to me. Where are they from? H The wheels are from set 42001 Mini Off-roader. I had 6 of them to I used them. The other option I would have had is from 9390 mini tow truck, but I only have 4 of those. EDIT - Found different tires in my collection to try. They looked better, but were a tad smaller, so I lowered the cab and box by 1 stud. Glenn Edited October 27, 201311 yr by gmshades
October 27, 201311 yr The updated pictures look very nice! Great job. Wish I had that many 3L black pins to spare. haha
October 28, 201311 yr Great entry! Well done! Would be great to have your final pictures taken in the grass/field or something And remember to name your entry and put it in the entry topic when you are done. (you can always edit your entry until the 1st of December btw)
December 7, 201311 yr Author I took the three apart today. Harvester had 457 pcs, the Tractor with both attachments had 640 pcs, and the Dump Truck had 293 pcs. Total of 1390 pcs. Not bad considering I wasn't counting as I went.
