Thanks for the comments, was able to get some more building time. Added the motors.

Ben it is going to be a CAT D8 straight blade. Not a swing blade like the one I have now..

[Oil Field Construction]

Looking good Greg, making more progress, that is going to be one mean D8!! How much do you think it will weight?

Going with hyd again Ben. Using the same motors as the D8 I have http://servocity.com/html/dayton_gear_motors__12v_.html

I would like to build the CAT 527 track skidder but it would sure be tight for room running on hyd's. Maybe next winter... So for now I think there is room for another D8.

It will weigh in between 25 and 30 pounds, all alunimum. Can add weight to the belly pad if a person wanted more weight..

Looks good Greg. Did Lou let you give it a whirl? What do those logs weigh each?

[tracksntreadslou]

Thanks greg ...you are getting to be a pretty good video producer...Thanks for editing all my rookie operating ...im gona have to practice in my garage this winter...Ben, greg did give it a shot but i like to run my controls opposit so he didnt feel that comfortable yet..Think with about a half hour practice he would be chuckin loads on pretty fast.

Greg, that's some nice shooting, considering how cold it was. Lou, that John Deere is a fine running machine and you should be very proud of your new baby. Sure did enjoy running the Pacific, it's a fun truck to drive and a beast when you got a load on her. To bad there's no vid of me putting her in the ditch at the end.
