And the front hitch with the steering servo visible.
Electronics will be mounted under the hood, with the battery in the cab at this stage.
More to come. Attachments:

That is looking great, removing the cab detail leaves you with amazing space for those strong looking servos. Will you black out the windows or do you have a plan for that yet?
Those N20 motors fit in the model perfectly, it's going to have amazing pulling power. You say you soldered the pins on the N20 motors together so they'll both move at the same speed? i.e. no differential effect?

I decided for this one that a differential effect wasn't going to be necessary. I guess if it becomes an issue I can soon add an extra wire and wire them separately.
I will probably tint the windows to about 50%.
I may be able to put about half the cab detail on top of the battery. Will just see how it all looks as I get there.

The lack of weight over the front wheels coupled with the locked rear axle in the Siku motors left my Massey and Fendt with a poor turning circle, particularly when pulling a heavy load. It was somewhat improved by adding a heavy butterfly mower on the front link. It will be interesting to see how yours turns out and like you say it's not a big job to add it later if needs be.
