Just watched the loader videos - proof is always in the pudding and the pudding looked lovely - very good detail and it moved like a pro. Very good work - I look forward to your next build.

Greg,
I am looking into building a dozer, and I want to use your method for the tracks as they appear to be the most cost effective and relaible method I have seen. I have sourced the aluminum for the tread, but I cannot find a place to purchase the #35 chain with the k-5 on every other link. I have found the parts at grainger where I could assemble the chain link by link, but you mentioned you had a source that would make it in 12' lengths. Would you be willing to share that supplier. Thanks

Speedpro Signs did the decals up for my Volvo and it was pretty cheap. I'm guessing that you want to make your own though...

Nice work! No shortage of reach height, that's for sure! In your video, I can see the trailer looks like it's bottomed out on the suspension! At 20 lbs, I can see why. Looks like you've got yourself another great home built model.

Glen great build and it has a lot of reach to get over sides with out having to raise the bucket back up before you pull away, that's the best part. Ed

As far as I know there is no distributor building logging equipment.

Attached is the log grapple I am building

Wow that was quick. Looks great and nice combo of materials. Be interesting to see how the styrene holds up on the arms. Did you get the mix to work right?

Wow, that looks awesome. I cant wait to see it work.

Quick question for you. At your pivot points, do you just drill a hole and insert a bolt, or do you press in some kind of a bushing to prevent wear over time??

Thanks

Great looking loader!

It is smooth, has good reach (both top and bottom) good cycle speed, great drive speed...

Very well done.

I don't add a bushing, if it starts to wear out I over size the hole and if it wears that out I would add a bushing...
