Felipe, that machine is a beast and a great looking model. I would have loved a chance to take a spin in that one.

That is a great looking model. Tracks look fantastic.

Felipe great model, I do have one of those. While looking over your TC-12 again I noticed you have to pump some grease into the right side idler, would you like me to send “The Q” over to take care of that. I think his wife shut down the townhouse route so he has time on his hands I heard he was an oiler for the union.

Steve He might want to flip the tracks around the right way before tightening them up. It's a great looking model but backwards tracks is a pet peeve of mine.

Felipe: That is a splendid custom version of a tree pusher. Steve made one for me that also has a root rake. However, you have displayed your model on a lowboy exactly as I did, and Steve chewed me out severely for allowing the blade of the dozer to touch the lowboy bed. And he said the dozer was facing the wrong way. It hurt my feelings so badly, I cried myself to sleep. He can be so cruel sometimes. But I'm glad that you and I think alike. By the way, those rollers are wonderful. I had a set from Buffalo Road many, many years ago. Yours are superior to those. They were made by EMD I think. Keep up the good work. Craig

Felipe pay no attention to that man under the toupee, he loaded his on a removable gooseneck, you loaded yours on a fixed gooseneck. You pulled yours on forward, his was pulled on backwards but we have to remember he is from NC and you know what golfers say, “that’s par for the course”. Also I highly doubt he cried himself to sleep because he can fall asleep at a red light you know because of the age thing.
Your dozer with the tree spear looks great. One thing I can agree with The Q on is that your sheeps foot rollers are over the top between the functionality and their look and EMD is not even close, I also have one from them.

Craig Craig, thank you very much for the feedback. The idea is to make unique models for friends from Brazil and outside, in very limited series. I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope you enjoy the next projects. They will come out slowly because it is not our job, just our hobby and we have many of these rollers to deliver yet. I think we'll end only in the middle of the year. Maybe a little more...

Steve Steve, you and Craig are hilarious! I hope to meet you in person someday! Glad you liked the rolls. They were made with great care for you!

Felipe I appreciate that and the feeling is mutual, again they are over the top models and I cannot wait to see what is next on the drawing board.
Thanks

Felipe very nice looking, did you build that ROPS from scratch or buy it from an IH dealer.
