Re: My first piece of equipment - Carson Track Loader
Nathan I must say when you do something you go all out. The only thing that I can is missing is the pump control to shut it down when not in use. Ed

Instead of having a pump shut off control, I'm going to mix the loader and bucket controls, in my programmable radio, to throttle and shut off the ESC for the pump. Should work a lot nicer. Just like Ulrich suggested. I know a lot of guys are running their hydraulics like this.

Re: My first piece of equipment - Carson Track Loader
Good choice and congrats Nate. If I was going to do it again I'd probably get the Carson, it functions well and has great detail for the price as compared to the scale art. I love my loader for sure but the Carson allows for more "toys" and still looks great and performs. I looked forward to the updates and meticulous detail you will put forth into your machine.

Re: My first piece of equipment - Carson Track Loader
Received some of the components for the loader today, ie. Metal Tracks, SMT/M220, Drive Motors, Metal Shovel Teeth, and several other items. They sent the parts (as requested) ahead of the kit in order to lighten the load in transit. Sadly, the ever efficient U.S Customs group ripped the box apart, and everything was scattered and now needs an inventory.

Hey Nathan, Yes move the lever left to curl, right to dump, forward for boom down, back for boom up.
Congrats on the new loader! Cheer's, Neil. |

Neil, thanks. Just wanted to make sure I was correct in my thinking. I know on most skid steers and mini excavators, that's how the sticks are set up.

Re: My first piece of equipment - Carson Track Loader
I think the tracks fit. If not, I am prepared to have new sprockets machined. I think you and I might start a "Friendly" competition build. Let me know what you think. Also, the metal tracks come with pins and sleeves.
Your friend in sport, Mitch

Re: My first piece of equipment - Carson Track Loader
Hi Mitch, a friendly build competition? Against you? I'm afraid it'd be no competition! I've seen your builds, but okay. It's worth a shot. Just keep in mind I'm a really slow builder!

Nathan, I have the feeling you are going to be working on this thing sooner and building quicker than you had planned. |

Re: My first piece of equipment - Carson Track Loader
Maybe Craig! That's assuming I don't get bogged down with the details of the build! I already ordered a couple 'extras' for the track loader, and I am sure they are still a month out. I hate to build, then rebuild. I may end up waiting till I get the other goodies. Now you've got me looking at metal tracks too..... But I really should finish the Kenworth first!

Re: My first piece of equipment - Carson Track Loader
Started metal tracks. They need "Dressing" and a little adjustment. Tracks are brittle (wish they would use better material) and therefore need a delicate hand.

Re: My first piece of equipment - Carson Track Loader
Looking really good Mitch, do you know yet if the sprockets that come with the loader will work with those tracks?

Re: My first piece of equipment - Carson Track Loader
Not sure, but I think they will. However, if not, I'll make a sprocket as I did for the Stahl Dozer.
