My dumper is 10 1/2 high and the damitz just clears up close..Your looking at about 11 3/4 so you may have to elevate yours a bit to load comfortably

Excellent, thanks for the info, much appreciated. Will post a thread if I go ahead a get it.

Lou, How many MP is your new camera? The grapple you built is about as real as they come, it handles those logs as if it were on the landing loading for real, a touch more counter weight might let you overload the JD. Fred

Thanks everyone ...Fred not quite sure the pixels ..10 i think ..its suposed to take pretty good still photos...I really need to practice on the log loader ...I was pretty rusty today at the train show ..Was having some radio issue as well ...Got a few pic but no vids ...Greg s hitachi worked flawlessly and he was loading railcars pretty fast with not too much coal spilt ...couple pics
