Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Putting a floor on the main deck, would that work for leg stops?
Looking good. Turn your Iphone a 1/4 turn when filming.

Yes putting 1/8" thick bass wood on for decking. But I am going to place a metal stop in frame rails to facilitate the landing legs to stop and allow neck to raise higher. I still don't know if two actuators will be enough power to lift when 60# plus load on. If not I can add one in middle or two. Haides or high water I'm bound to make this work!!!! Also have to figure out the movable kingpin. That might just be gravity to facilitate that or simple spring band. Figured you guys have remote quick change buckets for the excavators, so when I'm not around the easily motivated kids to unhook something I can still enjoy my lounge chair

The king pin was in a tube and was gravity activated. It was a 4" pin (read heavy) vs. a standard 2" pin. I would think you could do the same, maybe add a lite spring to make sure it drops when it needs to. |

Cooper why don't you use alder as opposed to basswood it is harder nice grain and would take a 60 # load better load . If you want some email me off list with a list . Mike

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
I really haven't thought about much other wood. Reason for that was that I have quite a few sheets of 4" x 24" . For me I think it would look cool if it does get torn up from use. I like the dented and scratched look. It really hides a lot of other imperfections . I was thinking of milling very small slots in it to appear to be planking. Just rub some stain on and it will penetrate to the grooves, then rub off leaving the appearance of multiple strips.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Your bass will get ripped up ,but alder will get scratched up also but not as quick . I use it and hard pine on my railway cars and load all sorts of rocks etc on them I also cut them as boards and beat them before you install them . Try what you want the offer is there . Oh and squirrels like to eat basswood 😄Mike
