Well in Michigan they run short tractors on gravel trains to be able to run the longest trailer setup possible to get more axles on the ground. So with the gravel train I'm currently building I'm going to be able to pull a 28 foot lead trailer with a 25 foot pup.

The trains wieght is around 164,000 lbs gross.

Nice dumpsters. Did you shorten the frame on the Aztec gold KW or just do a swap?


Thanks! I shortened the frame. I cut exactly 40mm out of the frame total. It started as a 4 axle tractor.

That's a lot of frame lol. But yes it'll go well with the trailer you're building.

Funny isn't it?.......how 1/100 scale diamond plate actually is what works for 1/50? lol

It's is pretty crazy. I actually learned that on this forum lol. But I wish I could find some that was closer to the texture of the sword 379 fenders.

Hey guys! It's been a crazy around my house lately 8-]. But I have been working on some stuff. First up is bedding boxes and tench boxes that I built. A few are for a friend and the rest are for me!! Lol! Here's a few pics....

The trench boxes still need the edges ground to a sharp edge.











And last but not least an awesome dr6 that I built a root rake and ROPS for....

The real one...



Mini size lol











And as always guys if you have any questions or want something built feel free too shoot me a pm. Have a great night!

I love the way these mods enhances the dozer's look. Can't wait to see it painted.

Thanks! I want to see it painted as well. I normally don't paint anything for people I leave that up to the person I'm building for. I'll have him send some pics of the dozer all painted up and I'll post them up here.
