Thanks Coop ...back on CAD and I almost feel like im cheating ..I have been drawing up a cushion hitch and may end up milling one out ..A few set up steps but I think it will be worth it ..I may lengthen the steering arms a bit to allow for an almost 90 degree turn

Is it a 657 you're making?

What's the bowl measurement?
good to get back on the Cnc ..was a little rusty ..I did put a beefyer motor on it ...cutting through 3/4 thick aluminum like cheese Joe I am building based on the tire size ..MPE set me up with these ..they are beauties ..not that large tho ...thinking more like 621 - 627 size ...9 inch wide and bottom is about 6 inches long ..should heap up pretty good tho
Hey I dont know too much about how the ejector is designed ... any pics of how Joe [dirtpusher] set his up?Another thing im wondering is how far down the apron closes when the Bowl is down in cutting position ..Thanks for your input Joe
