Thanks guys. I think I am going to use a servo to run the blade but it will be a 360 degree with a screw drive hidden in the front under the hood ahead of the axle. If that doesn't work out to have enough speed or power I will build hydraulic rams for it. I'm hoping to only use hydraulics for the grapple though if I can get away with it. I'm going to start on the grapple today but even without it this thing is getting BIG!

Thanks for looking, Reg

nice reg, your metal work on the blade looks amazing, i just re-read the thread and saw your tires are nearly 8inches tall but watching the vid it steers so easily, do you have any pics of your steering setup?

Love the Aluminum work ,not always the easiest to work with and Tig welding isn't any better. Looks very good and would be very proud to own it!

Thanks! I'll take a picture of the steering set up soon to show you what I did. It's pretty simple really.

I got a little work done on the grapple but had to stop working on it so that I could load all my stuff into the car for the show in Port Alberni tomorrow!

Thanks for lookin!
