It is fun to use the large bucket because it forces you to operate it more efficiently. If you just reach out over the pile and drag the bucket all the way back and lift it out of the dirt the crane really stresses to lift the bucket but, if you smoothly lift the bucket just as it is filling up, the crane lifts it well.

Yep, it seems like we can never load all the dump trucks fast enough at the meets.

Well, I pulled this project back out and started working on it again. I am hoping to make the National Pike show and would like to have this finished for it (May 21st). The chain drive works nice and has plenty of power. It is going to be cool to get the chain rotate setup, it should work smoothly.

Here is a video of it working:
