New Project!

Looks and runs great! Have you tried pulling anything yet? I'm curious how the motors perform under loads.

Awesome! I steer my Skidder in a similar fashion and I am wondering if you are going to put limit switches on there somehow? I don't have anything on mine but I guess it would be nice if someone else that wasn't familiar with it was operating it.

Not yet, that will be the next big test!

I've fitted a 10K pot to the steering pivot, not the best pic but you get the idea:



It's connected to a special speed control which makes it work like a big servo, it doesn't self centre completely, wondering if I need to change the pot for different resistance it does however provide limits to the travel just like a servo, so no problem with stalling out the motor against the stops
