Tractor With A Seed Spreader Attachment

The attachment is the whole point of this page, so it has been drawn front and center: a broad funnel shaped hopper mounted on the front linkage, tapering down to the spinner that would throw the seed. Its sloping sides are wide open panels, which makes them the easiest thing on the sheet to fill and a sensible place to start. Behind the hopper the tractor sits at a slight angle, cab glazing picked out in clean rectangles, with a deep lugged rear tire dominating the right of the frame and a small railed body visible past the cab.

The ground is barely there. A few loose tufts of grass mark the line the wheels stand on and the rest is left white, which is deliberate, because it keeps every edge of the machinery readable.

Farm equipment is rarely subtle, so this is a sheet that can take a loud treatment. Pick one bright shade for the hopper and a contrasting one for the bodywork rather than matching them, and save a mid gray for the linkage arms and the spinner underneath so the moving parts separate from the paintwork.
