Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Wow, a really cool project! Where did you get the tires? How big are they? Even with the large size of the machine, you gonna have problems fitting all the components and batteries? Hydraulics?

Looking forward to seeing this one.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

T-n-T-Lou-this is a great project and I believe a 1st. for this site. (To be completed). I like the steering geometry although I really don't understand it now but I'm sure it will be clear later. Very nice work. I will be following.
