Rearloader
 

I've started to build a rearloader. Not a copy of anything (easier that way :D)
Made the bucket today. Quite narrow, since most of the old rearloaders did not come with wide buckets.

Re: Rearloader
 

That's very unique. I'm surprised you have room for all the electronics, and hydraulics. These machines were never very large.

Re: Rearloader
 

Very cool project. What scale is the tractor?

Re: Rearloader
 

1:Tamiya. I had the lift cylinders from before I started the project. They could've had a smaller diameter, scale- wise, but no I have lots of lifting power.

First real testing: http://youtu.be/EIjX_KgicVc

Re: Rearloader
 

Nice. Your loader runs very smooth, and seems to have plenty of power. I know you like the narrow bucket, but I honestly feel like it could easily handle a wider one. There doesn't seem to be a lack of traction or power!

Re: Rearloader
 

Nice project, the machine is working well. looking forwart to see the end result.

Re: Rearloader
 

Thanks guys!

It will get a vareity of buckets and other implements ;)

Re: Rearloader
 

Very cool model yo have there.....i lvoe the scratchbuilt stuff:D

Re: Rearloader
 

Some more testing. This time with a bigger bucket: http://youtu.be/E2L0HrIFnzw

Re: Rearloader
 

Stunt loader!lol Looks like it works very well! Nice job making something different.

Re: Rearloader
 

Great video! Now it looks like you need some counterweights in the rear. Maybe some agriculture tractor style suitcase weights that can be added, or removed? I'm still impressed with the performance! Smooth, strong, and I like how you designed the self-leveling bucket linkages.

Wheels are glued and filled with weight: http://youtu.be/xKg2QYg8efE

Re: Rearloader
 

A fantastic dirt project for your constr fleet Emil. :cool:

How big is the hole and is one area deeper than any other?

Re: Rearloader
 

I guess it's about 3 meters in diameter, and app 50 cm deep. We have to dig a new drainage around the house, so it will be filled faster than I'd like. My fiancé is not interested in waiting for my machines to do the job ;)

I'll have as much fun as possible while I've got the chance. I'm at home on paternity leave, so I run my machines when my son is having his naps :D

Re: Rearloader
 

Cool loader. I like that BB weight.

Re: Rearloader
 

Finally got to do some more work on the rearend loader :)
