Default Unit Cable Hoe

Well, since I have some pics to share it is time to start a thread for the Unit Hoe. All I have so far is the crane, drive chain & the drive gears. I ordered the chain for the tracks and the aluminum for the track pads. I also ordered some 200oz-inch metal gear servos that I am going to try to run the tracks. I still need to remove the cab from the frame.

Are you making flat track pads or the "High Walker" version?

Steve, I am going with the high walker version so that I can climb steep hills with it.

You may need a dozer with a winch too for the really steep hills. It could pull you up as the pipe line advances.

Thanks, I got it from a local supplier but, just search for chain suppliers near you and then call them and ask for size 35 chain with K1 links every other link. They can order it for you because many places manufacture it.

Thanks Greg (RCLogger) for all the info on the chain! Greg, you have helped me so much on this build, I think you should name the Hoe.

Thanks Ed! It'll be quite a while before its digging. The more stuff I build, the more I realize that half the fun is building it and building it well. So, I'll take my time.

I was just thinking Scott, The new boom section on the drag; You should put some cold gun bluing on it rather than painting it black.
Those washers lined up on the tracks reminds me of an old Thew shovel or the BIG Bucyrus Shovels.

Hi Scott. I'm really looking forward to seeing this come together! It should be a really neat model, when done. I'm also looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the servo and chain drive. I've seen those goodies for sale online, and it's really easy to dream up all kinds of drives and uses for a continous rotation servo and the sprockets that fit them. It's pretty amazing. Stuff like that never used to be so readily available!

Thanks for the interest Nathan! I am really looking forward to building this to. I like the complexity of it. It will have gears, pulleys, sprockets, chains, cables, tracks & drums.
