	  I agree with everyone else. Looks like it will be able to pull trees not just load logs! Definitally need lots of progress pics on this build!

			looking good cant wait to see it running, are you using aluminium or is it steel? 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
			[edit] dont forget to put "Nothing runs like a Deere!" was just wondering are those motors direct drive and you just glue the wheel to the motor shaft? if so where do you get them from? Last edited by carp; 11-29-2010 at 02:49 PM.  |

			the motors are gear reduction motors i get from ebay and robot market place sells a hub that goes from the mtor to the wheel and it bolts to the wheel and this is mostly aluminum with some steel for weight

			Nice, that's a heck of a load! Won't be long I'm sure, it'll look sweet articulating/swaying over a few stumps, logs, ect. as you emerge from the woods with a full load. Maybe some day I can skid some timber to you!? Keep up the swift progress.
