Thanks for the great info and pics Andy
I'd like to get sound for mine but I see I would have to use a different battery. My 8400 ma fills that spot
Gives me a great size perspective of the unit. Thanks again for posting.

Mario

cheers Mario, an 8400 battery holly cow it must be huge , how long is the run time on it.
im getting about an hour on the 6500 that came with the excavator.

just a quick up date on the loader, diffs are working great , have been thrashing them by pushing and digging way to bigger loads and also trying to push the dirt box in high and low gears . the wheels just spin and loose traction , no bad noise from either diff, pulled rear diff and inspected yesterday ( all good) , only did this because my rear drive shaft fell out. this wasn't a problem with the model it was a problem with the twit that put it back together last time and didn't do up BOTH grub screws!!! it would appear I only did up one of them.
I think I need someone to check my work LOL.
having read a few posts about the loader issues I can see why some people are angry , but having said that now that mine is sorted I am more than happy with it.
enough talk im off to the shed for some play time.
will post a video today of the new pit and some loader bashing, after I do the lights in the mrs shed , and a few other jobs she wants done.
how is it on my days off ive got more jobs to do than I have to do at work?

cheers andy

I pulled the old dozer off the shelf for a bit of playtime, it was the founding member of JBC and is really showing its age.
forgot how slow the blade rams were so they will be swapped for faster ones.
will make a whole new base and install tensioners for the tracks, also will nut and bolt track pads as pop rivets don't last.
will also fit 2 more rams so I can tilt the blade, then a paint job.

any way heres a quick video of how bad it is.

ok, so the king hauler finally has a reduction box, 4:1 fitted.
problem was when hauling a heavy load I had no steering, it was suggested that I make a dolly trailer, had a spare flat deck doing nothing .
end result after 40 minutes is an average looking dolly, but I have steering.
will clean it up and paint, I can now haul the excavator and loader no worries.

sorry about the photo , its late and dark here.

Andy,

A couple of suggestions...
- move the fifth wheel further forward, possibly just before the middle axle.... It will require a long neck on the trailer or dolly, but will ensure more weight is over the front axle.
- on the dolly, make sure you are transferring some weight to the truck, otherwise traction will be a problem..

Finally is the reduction box behind the main box, or between the motor and the gearbox?

Cheers,
Ap

its been a busy night, decided I didn't like the dolly so with a bit of hacking and painting I have a result Im happy with.
truck pulls great and no more issues with under steer, just got to figure out how to revere the thing.

any way heres some picts








postman also showed up with some bruder construction sets, makes the pit look like we take health and safety seriously.

finished the dolly and had a test drive, have mounted a box above hitch so if I need to I can add some weights to get extra traction, will swap tamyia tyres for my off road ( and softer ) tyres once I make some foam inserts.

as it is with the dozer on the lowboy it tries to lift the front wheels , so will be interesting with some good tyres.

cheers andy

heres a real quick video of the hauler and dolly in action. pulls 35kgs easy.
need to fit my off road tyres to improve traction, but need to make some foam inserts first.

my regular loader driver Bob crashed into the rock truck!!!!!
I had to teach him a lesson , so half a day doing a new job will give him a bit of time to think about a few things.

also fried the vibrator motor on the screening plant, lack of maintenance and motor moved and jammed on rotating weight.

saw a small cloud of smoke and then that familiar smell, toast!!

Hey Andy, is that skid steer in the little hill in the background a Bruder? Is it a good functioning Model? I also wanted to get your opinion as well as other's , I see you have a 4 axle truck pulling your Lowboy, very cool. I Have a 8x8 MAN Trackter dump, the one they sell on RC4WD, was wondering, how do you think it would work if I used a Dolly and the same trailer as yours behind it?

hi, yes its a bruder skidsteer , but as yet unconverted. one day.
as for the truck you will need weight on truck to tow a good weight, are you talking about removing the tipper and fitting a 5th wheel.
I have a tow hitch at rear of the semi , I have a bruber dolly so I put that in the hitch, and attacted my dolly and trailer combo with dozer on trailer just to see what happened..... nothing really lots of wheel spin. so what everyone has told me is you need weight over 5th wheel to get traction is 100% correct.
8x8 I think it should work, but to be sure post in the big rig section .there are guys who will know for sure.

cheers andy

Andy, I am leaving the dump but, want to put a pintal hook on it, with dolly and trailer behind, may be to much rear end weight? Does your truck pull good off road?

hi david, theres only one way to find out if it will be too heavy.
My truck pulls ok but standard tamyia tyres are only tempoary , I have a full set of off road tyres to fit just need some foams as they are too soft with all the weight and side walls colapse.
you could load up truck with dirt , that will give you better pulling traction.

sounds fitted to king hauler, got the sound setup from eagle machinery .
heres a quick video of the truck pulling dozer.
off road tyres are needed as too much wheel spin in the gravel.

cheers andy
