I built the track loader back when I first started in the hobby. As soon as my Euc was finished I realized that having a dump truck with out a way to load it makes no sense....http://rctruckandconstruction.com/sh...ighlight=kitty
Yes, the weather was nice here today. It sounds like it will be really nice by the weekend. I think Mario and Wayne need to fly out... |

Yesterday I decided to try and put a load on the big KW with the Volvo. I know loading logs with a thumb and bucket isn't really the way to do it but when you don't have another option you use what you have to get the job done. I changed the shape of the thumb slightly and it worked not bad but it still needs some more tweaking. I did however manage to bend it so i know it is squeezing fairly hard. At the end of the first video I struggle to load what they call a berry(a really big log). Patients pays off, and after a while I do get it on there!lol

Boy, I would hate to be a passing motorist if that big boy was to shift and fall off the top of the load. Great videos, I like that your not using any of those fake logs like the other Canadian Loggers tend to use.

Haha! No cardboard tubes with bark glued to them in my operation. I did manage to cut a couple of cedars that were hollow though which does help. I modified the thumb a little on the excavator since and now it will pick up a full length log the same size as the short I am loading in the video. Now the problem is the machine tips over if I'm not lifting parallel to the tracks.... Always something!
