Re: RCLogger
Just watched the loader videos - proof is always in the pudding and the pudding looked lovely - very good detail and it moved like a pro. Very good work - I look forward to your next build.

Re: RCLogger
Greg,
I am looking into building a dozer, and I want to use your method for the tracks as they appear to be the most cost effective and relaible method I have seen. I have sourced the aluminum for the tread, but I cannot find a place to purchase the #35 chain with the k-5 on every other link. I have found the parts at grainger where I could assemble the chain link by link, but you mentioned you had a source that would make it in 12' lengths. Would you be willing to share that supplier. Thanks |
Re: RCLogger
Thanks for the interest and comments. Add some decals, but not happy with them.. Any ideas on decal making ? / ?

Re: RCLogger
Speedpro Signs did the decals up for my Volvo and it was pretty cheap. I'm guessing that you want to make your own though...

Re: RCLogger
Nice work! No shortage of reach height, that's for sure! In your video, I can see the trailer looks like it's bottomed out on the suspension! At 20 lbs, I can see why. Looks like you've got yourself another great home built model.

Re: RCLogger
wow nice pay loader I love your videos so cool
|
Re: RCLogger
I to I'am a rc logger and I was wondering where I could get a log loader
|
Re: RCLogger
Glen great build and it has a lot of reach to get over sides with out having to raise the bucket back up before you pull away, that's the best part. Ed

Re: RCLogger

Re: RCLogger
Good work Greg! :cool:
Do you have quick disconnects for the hyd lines? |
Re: RCLogger
No quick disconnects Joe
But the bailer cylinders and lines fit in the front part of the machine out of site when I have the bucket on.. |
Re: RCLogger
Wow that was quick. Looks great and nice combo of materials. Be interesting to see how the styrene holds up on the arms. Did you get the mix to work right?
|
Re: RCLogger
Nice job Greg! Now lets see it crush that coke can!
|
Re: RCLogger
Wow, that looks awesome. I cant wait to see it work.
Quick question for you. At your pivot points, do you just drill a hole and insert a bolt, or do you press in some kind of a bushing to prevent wear over time?? Thanks |
Re: RCLogger
Great looking loader!
It is smooth, has good reach (both top and bottom) good cycle speed, great drive speed... Very well done.:) |
Re: RCLogger
The grapple looks really nice Greg. Great job!

Re: RCLogger
Thanks for the comments guys, had a chance to make a short video today
The 980 is a real good lifter, can lift alot of wood... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QECaU...qdYL-Q&index=1 |
Re: RCLogger
You´ve made yourself a very nice loader. Nicely operated as well :D
|
Re: RCLogger
Nice to see it working Greg, no lack of power or performance. Weather looks good too! Trees and grass already green? What's next to build since you blew through that build? A feller buncher?

Re: RCLogger
When I grow up, I want to build like you! LOL Great Job!
|
Re: RCLogger
Hey Greg nice Job on the grapple ..Probably been 20 + years since you sat in the seat huh ..The vids looks like you havent missed a beat..Do you ever remember loading a truck in 6 minutes with the 1-1 .lol
|
Re: RCLogger
Love the videos of your equipment working, that loader is fantastic. I hope to some day be able to build a quality fleet of equipment like yours. Thanks for the answer on the bushings and all of the other information that you pass on to us here on the forums. It is a real help and makes starting one of these pieces a whole lot less intimidating.

Re: RCLogger
I've found a few apps now for the Kindle Fire HD (or Android). And it was free! These are simple scale converters. Just type in the dimensions in ft., in., mm, cm or whatever you want to use and get them converted to what ever size you need.
The one I have is called MODEL SCALER. Makes it super easy to figure out. |
Re: RCLogger
This spring has been very busy for me , its good to see that the RC construction forum is still going strong with a lot of great info and builds..
Lou ( Tracksandtreads ) dropped by yesterday to get his equipment dirty.. http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...psbd274036.jpg |
