Re: RCLogger
 

Looks good Greg, are you building one for me too?

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks for the pics. Looks nice all painted black!

What are the nitches that you have filed/cut into the sides of the spring retainer plates?

Regards,

Ben

Re: RCLogger
 

I didn't know you wanted the second one Reg . hahhah

Ben the notches are so that it doesn't hang up on the rivets on the inside...

You can never have too many toys Greg! You would have to scale the machine up a bit for me though...:D I'm planning on building a mower head for my Volvo but no plans for any grapples just yet.

Reg

Re: RCLogger
 

Nice work on your latest machine Greg!

Very unique machine.:cool:

Re: RCLogger

Re: RCLogger
 

Not a lot of space to move around Greg, you there merely for display?

Where did the crane come from and have one of you rc'd it already?

Re: RCLogger
 

Had some time to build a slip ring today, not sure how other people build them but this is what I did.

How's the view through those Russian Big Eyes? I have a set of the 10x80 WW2 German Flak binos those were copied from. I've never found a set I could buy here in the USA I could afford. Those come in handy for spotting rifle bullet vapor trails in long range shooting over 500m.

Re: RCLogger
 

Lookin Good Greg! Seeing your hydraulics all plumbed and ready makes me wish my father inlaw had more time at work to finish mine! I'm really looking forward to the show in July this year, it should be a lot of fun!

Reg

Re: RCLogger
 

Looks good Greg. Now let's see that cab you are hiding!

Ben

Re: RCLogger
 

Nothing wrong with that slip ring arrangement at all! Well done that man - I might copy that down the line!

Keep up the good work!

Re: RCLogger
 

Looks great, almost finished! :)

Re: RCLogger
 

No not a lot of room Joe, we had the excavators going at times loading the train. Also Lou put on a very good demo loading logs on his logging truck with the 966 and also his John Deere log loader.

The crane is Robs, he has mentioned about converting it to RC. Time well tell:D

Re: RCLogger
 

Not sure what make they were but you could see a long distance.

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks for all the comments. Moving along at a good pace now, had it running tonight, loaded two logging trucks with logs, working very well and WAY to much fun. Just about time to start the cab and hood.

Re: RCLogger
 

Greg, Looks to me like its about time to set up a business,"RC Logger Equipment Manufacturing and sales". You got the building down pat and it seems like it dosn't take you long either,(seems like), I do know differant. I got to spend some time at All American Toy company yesterday, they have a old style KW that would make a great RC log truck. I like your show spread, really looks great. Fred

Re: RCLogger
 

Wow Greg. Moving right along. You sure don't sit still when you are building.

Re: RCLogger
 

A old style KW would be a good addition Fred.

Re: RCLogger
 

Re: RCLogger
 

Looking good-is that styrene you are using on the cab?

Re: RCLogger
 

Greg, Looks like you are nearly ready for a shovel logging side to go with your yarder side, this machine will be a nice addition to your equipment. Its a great builder that sets about building a model using his skills and fabs everything from the ground up, you can include yourself in that group!! Thanks for sharing. Fred

Re: RCLogger
 

Lookin good Greg! I especially like the choice of clothing the operator is wearing. He must be a fashion forward forestry worker!

All joking aside it looks really good... I may have to try styrene one day!

Reg

Re: RCLogger
 

Greg, it's looking great, nice styrene work. I really like the undercarriage too, you do a great job with them. Next update please.

Re: RCLogger
 

I got to see a yoader in action the other day. Ever thought about putting a pair of winches on a shovel?

Re: RCLogger
 

Just one picture Greg? :confused: ..did you drop the camera after that photo? :p

Re: RCLogger
 

LOL, guess the Cat's "Not quite out of the bag" yet:p:eek::D

Look's great:D:D:D

Cheer's, Neil.

Re: RCLogger
 

Looks good Greg. I don't think the paint was even dry when he took that one. How about showing us one with the whole machine.

Re: RCLogger
 

Not meant to be a teaser, just took the photo's late in the evening after I got it together. I was to dark in the garage and that was the only photo that turned out. Here are some photo's from today, video to follow when I get a chance to upload it all... Thanks for checking it out..
