Nice work, as usual, Fred! So are you running everything on 7.2 volts, or 14.4 volts? Packs in series, parallel, or one for the drivetrain, and one for the pump?

The bucket reach looks good. One thing I was going to ask - are the pivots points and joints on these models bushed at all, or does it not matter? Aluminum will eventually wear out, I would guess. Just curious if anyone worries about that sort of thing. I never really saw any Stahl or Wedico machines up close. Do they run bushings?

Those are some nice battery packs. 2/3A cells, right? Did you build them yourself, in that configuration? I can think of a couple uses for a pack that size. Where did you find them?
