Just wanted to show off my last creation. New saddle tank mounts for the John Deer tractors with DPF, Urea and front duals. Not Dmax related but I'm kind of proud of them so I wanted to share. I've got 3 sets in the field testing now and hope to build many more.

I think the rig in the pic has 250 gal. tanks but I have another customer thats running 300's I believe.

Pic of the mounting brackets. These stay on the tractor and the arches come off when not needed.

I hear ya, I'll take a pick of some at the shop. Pulse mig, slick as a whistle.

Here you go Mitch.

Those are some pretty beads. Excuse my ignorance, but is pulse MIG done by a robot or by hand?

 

[SmokeShow]

Very nice. Some people's skillz are phenomenal!

Very nice work Landon!:thumb:

Just wondering if the big tank infront cuts off the air flow for cooling?I know they are slow movers and probably have very good cooling anyways but just curious.Also what are the tanks for i didnt see any spray wands or was the pic just for display?

By hand, probably by robot as well. Makes very pretty beads.

To the OP, you already have a Deere with SCR?

Jeez, you live in dirt farmer country.

Cooling is rarely an issue with tractors. They are made to run at low speeds which the tanks do not appear to interfere with. A Fendt can run as low as 60 feet per hour.

Tanks are most likely for planting.

Lol I donth know much about farm tractors or dirt running I'm a street strip rat.

My old 79 GMC Jimmy did see a decent amount of mud tho:thumb:

Done by both, but in my case I'm the robot lol. Cooling is not an issue with ag equipment, Its designed to run full tilt sitting still so pto generators and other emplements can be operated that are stationary. Thanks for the compliments guys! And the tractors are not mine. I run a small welding/repair/fabshop in my home town, I repair for cotton gins, sawmills, farmers and also work on old mens lawn mowers. I'm in the process of trying to get a line of ag equipment on the market, hoping to offer hooded sprayers, direct spray rigs and of course tank mount kits among other things. Wish me luck:hug:

Good looking stuff :thumbup:

Looks good. Nice that it is narrow that way with those tanks. Any bigger like 300s will get a bit wider.
