Tractor pictures

I never realized how hard it was to draw anything with an auger.

Don't feel bad, after 24-years of day-in/day-out CAD work, I still get frustrated drawing stairs.

Keep at it with your drawing as practice makes perfect.

boy i remember drawing stairs also. PITA. one of the guys where i worked made a lisp routine for them. . . made life a lot easier

here are some pictures I drew this weekend. I like the one with the BX 22 w/ FEL and snow blower. I never realized how hard it was to draw anything with an auger. I drew that picture yesterday. I also like drawing backhoes, especially the one on the Kubota. And if you cant read it, the first one is a bobcat CT122 and Kioti CK20.

Great drawings Johndeere!

Ya know, you could have a bright future as a technical illustrator. That is, if we're still manufacturing anything in this country by the time you're out of college!

Thanks for the advice. i have been working on the tires lately. I also have been doing math Rollover angle of a JD 3720 - Page 3 - TractorByNet.com I just wanted to find out what angle a tractor can operate on without tipping over. For drawing wise, If I want an angle of the tractor that i cant picture in my mind, I walk up to my shelf and grab a diecast tractor. one of the ones I used was the BX22. The Backhoes also have the design of one of my diecast deere backhoes. By the way, those are some nice Kubotas.

You're doing the right thing by using your die-cast models to help in your drawing.

I took a quick look at your tip-over empirical experiments thread and you are on the right track doing experiments; however as others noted, die-cast models only scale down proportionately in size, not in weight or weight distribution. Plus die-cast models do not have dynamically operating components like engines, transmissions, loaders, etc that add into the mix of variables affecting roll-over. Assuming that weight scales down linearly like the X-Y-Z dimensions of an object, a 6' 200# blob like me would weigh in at 8# at 1/25th scale, and my height would be 2.88". Even a lead version of me at 1/25th scale wouldn't weigh 8# since lead comes in at about 0.41 pounds/cubic inch.

Keep up your enthusiasm and I hope us adults (so-called ) are helping you educate yourself. I wish more teens had an interest in science, technology and engineering.

Thanks for the imput. I would use a real tractor but im not sure I want to see my tractor on its side anytime soon. I know a few people wanted recent pictures of my tractor so I had to upload them. The first one is with the boxblade making a trail in the woods, second is in the garage, third is a seat view in the woods, and fourth is my superintendent. My dog may not like the tractor but she loves me enough to make sure I stay safe. If my dog (CD) does get in the way, i honk the horn and she moves for me. I love my dog and tractor.

Jacob : ...further to our PM's, this is the "portrait" of a friend's Massey with him on it that I painted many years ago. Since this topic is "Tractor Pictures", this must be the place to show it to you.

I painted it with acrylic paint on the smooth side of an 18" X 24" sheet of Masonite board. His girlfriend brought it back a couple weeks ago for me to paint the bullnose chrome strip down the centre of the grill and then a few days later for me to put the "333" on the side between the grill and where it says Massey Harris. He had recently added those items to the tractor as he "shows" it.

I didn't have time to re-photo it as she was in a hurry to get to the framer but invited me to come and photo it in the new frame.

I think I did the original painting in 1985 and never thought to take a picture of it or any other of my paintings I used to do back then,..so I was very thankful she brought it back and now I have a permanent record of that one.

I hope you enjoy seeing it and thanks for the upload instructions,....it finally worked!!!

CHEERS!

Jacob : Before I forget "how" I did the photo load, I better do another to make sure.

Here is a blow-up of my avatar (as promised a while ago) with "my" 3520-Cab" as the main power for my nickname,.."tugboat-2".

Hope you enjoy this one also.

CHEERS!

Those are awsome pictures! You are a great artist. Yesterday i drew a cool picture of a 3720 cabbie with a forestry package. Its pretty good. It is just really hard to draw a perfect tire. Circles never seem to be easy to draw.
