Would say great start but you have more than just started:rolleyes: I agree with everyone else. Looks like it will be able to pull trees not just load logs! Definitally need lots of progress pics on this build!

Man a few more days and you'll have this thing in the woods. Looks good Neil. What ESC are you using?

Re: john deer 1110 fowarder
 

not sure about it being in the woods dont have any hydralics for the crane but it wont be long and i will be driving it esc prolly just use a cheap one:)

Re: john deer 1110 fowarder
 

I have a Traxxss 7.2 ESC if you want it. It's brad new, I didn't know it was 7.2 when I got it.

Re: john deer 1110 fowarder
 

ok cool thanks joe

Re: john deer 1110 fowarder
 

looking good cant wait to see it running, are you using aluminium or is it steel?

[edit] dont forget to put "Nothing runs like a Deere!"

was just wondering are those motors direct drive and you just glue the wheel to the motor shaft? if so where do you get them from?

Re: john deer 1110 fowarder
 

the motors are gear reduction motors i get from ebay and robot market place sells a hub that goes from the mtor to the wheel and it bolts to the wheel and this is mostly aluminum with some steel for weight:)

Re: john deer 1110 fowarder
 

small update got the hubs in for the wheels got them mounted waiting for another tire put a load on to check it out

Re: john deer 1110 fowarder
 

thanks henry its getting there:D

Re: john deer 1110 fowarder
 

Nice, that's a heck of a load! Won't be long I'm sure, it'll look sweet articulating/swaying over a few stumps, logs, ect. as you emerge from the woods with a full load. Maybe some day I can skid some timber to you!? Keep up the swift progress.
