Lookin good Greg! :cool:

How about a photo of the new hoe with your KH logger for size reference or even with your last hoe you sold to Steamer? It does look like quite a bit bigger. ;)

Re: RCLogger

Re: RCLogger
 

awesome job. great looking and capable looking machine.. Is that Mark Martin standing on it? ;)

Re: RCLogger
 

Started another project last week as the excavator is almost completed. This one has been moving along very quickly. I am starting to think I am overlooking something ??? I used my lathe for the rims, otherwise I have only used the band saw and a drill press, file and hacksaw and some rivets..

Re: RCLogger
 

Nifty new project Greg! Hard to tell yet what make it will be. :confused: But I'm sure it will keep you busy for the winter.

If I may make one suggestion before you get much further? Incorporate as much steel in the construction of the loader model as you can, the heavier - the better, especially in the rear. ;)

Keep the loader arms & bucket in aluminum to conserve your hyd power to where it counts, but steel as much as possible everywhere else.

Re: RCLogger
 

great start Greg :) I like those tires :) I just wish they made them bigger :(

Re: RCLogger
 

Looking good Greg! It's nice to see you've started another project right away!

Re: RCLogger
 

What a great start you're off to Greg. I'm sure you will build a great loader. What tires did you use and is that delrin you used fur the wheels?

Ben

Re: RCLogger
 

Is it going to be a 930 Cat wheel loader?

Nice start!

Cheer's, Neil.

Re: RCLogger

Re: RCLogger

Re: RCLogger
 

Looks like I'm missing out on all the fun up there.

Re: RCLogger
 

Yes it is delrin for the rims, quick and easy to spin on the lathe. The tires are similar to these http://www.afv-model.com/4711shop/in...le-1-14-5.html

Re: RCLogger
 

wow it going to take a long time to back fill that with the dozers lol, was this a job on the honey do list. the faster it got done the faster you can get back to working on modles?

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks to Lou and MPE my loader build has new rubber !

Re: RCLogger
 

RCLogger, your work is amazing. I think you should make

Its just a kato head, only something a little bigger than the whats in the photo for some real man trees. :pOr how about building a stroker?

:D:D Just a thought, I see them all the time and figured it would be so awesome to see them in rc. My familey was or is in the industry here in washington and those were how we cut our firewood before Weyerhauser caught wind of it :D haha As for the logs to run through them, your going to have to find some arrow sticks:cool:

Re: RCLogger
 

I will get the Cat 980 built ( bucket/log grapple ) and then give your idea some thought.
Those heads are a work of art, lots of moving parts in them... I think there is tallented people on this thread who could build something like that, BUT I am not one of them...

Re: RCLogger
 

Started working on the boom, it is 14 inches to the bucket pin.

Re: RCLogger
 

Looks nice Greg! That should be able to load my Euclid and Rob's new Cat no problem!

Re: RCLogger
 

The tires are solid rubber, I think they will dig a big hole in the ground quickly in soft material..

Re: RCLogger
 

great looking build as always Greg.. maybe it can throw a scoop or two in the autocar next year..

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks to Steamer we rolled the bucket for the 980 today, THANKS ROB !

Re: RCLogger
 

I had a chance to add some paint over the Christmas break. Will now start on the cab and hood.

Re: RCLogger
 

Nice loader, and a quick builder, already paint on it!
What type of drives do you have? Looks like 2(4) according to post 445.

Re: RCLogger
 

As usual, looks really nice Greg.

Re: RCLogger
 

Looks Great, You are an artist.

What is the loader in the background of several of the photos?

Re: RCLogger
 

It looks real good Greg. Is it going to raise the bucket high enough to load a Tamiya scale truck? Keep up the good work. Ed

Re: RCLogger
 

Greg, Nice build you have going here. The wheels and tires look good... even better with paint. Looking forward to seeing how they do in the dirt for you. Keep up the good work!
MPE

Re: RCLogger
 

Looks great Great ..Amazing what paint will do ...Starting to come to life now and wont be long

Re: RCLogger
 

Wow! That seems to be a lighting quick build! Your hands and mind don't sit idle for long at all, do they? I'm watching, and looking forward to this one!

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks for all the comments guys

D8R Your right Dan, I am running four motors, not so scale but very good power..

Flyingbeagle That's tracksandtreadslou ( Lou ) 966 in the background, nice to have a model of similuar size to look at from time-to-time to use as a reference when building..

Jammer The bucket is 11 inches when dumping when the boom is all the way up, lots of height..

MPE Thanks for the tires, I think they will work great on this machine...

Re: RCLogger
 

I was able to do the first test run on my CAT 980, its a little sloe backing up, but otherwise I am happy with it..
