@ wheelsofsteel thanks very much..Guess you could say both ..the blue prints i use arnt very detailed so lots of photos help ..there are quite a few sleepless nights working out problems and how am i gona do this and that?
500 is a good start and you should be able to buy most of of you electronics and building material...the best thing i can sujest right now is to read as many threads on hear as you can to get some ideas..There are some very talented builders..

Welcome back to the grind. Sorry I couldn't join you guys in Pt Alberni. We had other plans with the kids.

Hello, I love the grapple and the thumbs on your equipment from the beginning of this thread. Very nice!. A grapple for one of my loaders and a thumb for my excavator is definitely a future addition for me.
Thanks for sharing,
Eddie

Getting back in the grind of build again ..something different this time ..Rob and Greg are looking at hiring a screening plant so heres a little preveiw

[Lil Giants]

Looking good Lou.

I've sourced my screening drums from air filters of my 70hp Massey, for example. About 3.5 inch diameter for the inner screen, 6 inch for the outer.

Way to go Joe, like the recycling

Great start Lou!

Cheer's, Neil.

I originally found you guys on youtube. Your guys work is amazing! My grandpa worked for Weyerhauser for 40 years and my dad cut timber for 22 years before the timber industry really died a couple years ago. So of course I am into all the equiptment etc growing up in southwest Washington. I'm going to build a t-800 kinghauler with a removable bunks and trailer and a side dump. Perhaps we get together someday.
