FendtYota Is Born

The Tacoma becomes relevant later in the post.

I really like the new Fendt 600 Vario and want to be driving it around all day. Only a few problems with that.

1. I have No farm.
2. That tractor is expensive.
3. That tractor is made in Germany and there are very few American dealers none near me...

What I do have is a Toyota Tacoma, some 3D printers, a copy of Fusion 360, and a plasma cutting table.

I don't have carbon fiber layup skills yet but I can get around that.

See attached picture on where I am at now. I call it Fendtyota.

I am looking for feedback on the best mountpoints for things.

 

For anyone else that was confused AF, when reading the OP...



I'm still confused on why, how, and why (again)... but at least I now know what a Fendt 600 Vario is...

 

Will this be for road use?
What’s the purpose of this project? Not that it has to have one.

 

I read and re-read the original post, then read the replies and then re-re-read the original post. I think you’re trying to turn your Tacoma into a tractor?

 

I doubt this will even be road legal by the time all the extras are bolted on.

 

i don't really follow how you intend to narrow the front end that much without significant structural changes to the frame rails and changing engines to a much smaller inline power plant.

i'd really need to see measurements, but those mirrors hanging off the sides might exceed legal roadgoing width limits. would definitely require clearance lights.

 

Nice but to be clear it’s still conception . It’s not yet born

 

What in the ghostbusters fuck is this?

 

A Trucktor

 

A Tractoma?

 

This has already been done before:

 

Dammmm you must be lonely out there.

The second iteration. For clarification it is just to make it look more like one and it won't look exactly like when obviously because of the commentary around how much thinner would have to be. Basically I'm just doing a bunch of custom aftermarket stuff because I have the capacity to make them. No there's no point no I won't be changing like the engine or anything no I won't be trying to use it like a tractor. Basically just like the styling on a fendt and I was wondering what it would look like if I applied something like that to my Tacoma. Call alterations to the vehicle will be superficial body panels and things. Custom bumper. Pulling the mirrors in for road legality purposes. Will either left the truck a little bit more or just put the biggest offroad tires I can on it as is. And if you have to ask yourself why, then it's just because it's awesome to me and it's my truck lol.

 

try a net search, they have some pretty cool scale models and RC models, seems like a more feasible way to memorialize your famed tractor, than doing this to your truck. But hey,, do what makes you happy, stay safe out there!

 

someone has too much spare time

 

Or they just really want to drive around in a tractor looking Tacoma.

 

If you like the new Fendt tractor, you are like one of twelve or thirteen people, in the WORLD, that likes it. AGCO manufactures it and it has been a spectacular failure globally. Nobody likes it, especially the Combine version.
If you wait a few years you can buy them dirt cheap.
