[PICS] New Rig

[riders2010]

You guys are just nasty!

It's missing the Russian GPS aka vodka bottle glued on as front hood ornament for aim once you turn and get er lined up the other way. Course if you drank the bottle empty you could see clear through it with one eye closed, well maybe not! lol!

Is that a nuclear sub engine in there?

DSchill, LOL that is funny. Thinking about the conversations I had with the successful neighbor, I think he said they were built for carrying anti aircraft missiles. He said they have a pretty high road gear. Klause -keep on pulling its going to work just fine.

Cool pics. A neighbor of mine has one of these and they are the only v8 diesel I have seen that can handle low rpms without blowing up. He told me that it was a v8 tank engine, and it has gobs of low end grunt. Happy seeding! Now I dont feel bad about my old melroe hoe drills or my mf 360 discers. They are paid for!

Had the hydraulics setup finally yesterday. Fan at 5000
RPM, while the auger was running and I was cycling
the frame... all at engine idle. I think it'll have enough
hyd capacity


When you pull over a scale with full fuel and ballasted
like ours is it weighs just north of 15,000 KG

This one is a 27L V12.

Can you please enlighten me? How many horse power is that engine set at, and how high can you turn it up. I am just curious. V12, Sweet, that will drag a few feet of cultivator/drill/whatever you want across the ground.
