Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Great to see you back in the saddle again Lou, cranking out innovative working machines. :cool:

Perhaps reverse the sprockets on the two conveyers for greater speed & capacity... gotta get that tonnage per hour up. :D

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Reg that 980 has some good bucket height even with the bucket tipped all the way to dump. Ed

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Lou,

Don't know how I didn't find this thread when I started researching my conveyer and screen? Very neat! I may need to borrow a few of your ideas.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Lou, I'm getting really tired of you and Greg playing without me...:p Equipment is looking ready for the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Lou,
I dont recognize the blue truck in your photos. I am curious about the third axle. Is it a jeep with a lift axle??? I have never seen a truck like that. can you give some more info, or point me to a build thread, or even a video of it.

Thanks

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Nevermind, I found your build thread. I dont know how I missed this one. That is one very impressive build. Thanks for sharing with us.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Looks like a great time! Lou, I'm still waiting for you to build a Caterpillar 527 skidder!

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Great pictures Lou! Definitely a fine logging fleet. I hope to have a fabulous setup like yours in the outdoors one of these days.
