[firefighter-1177]

Looking good. What are you using to power it?

[trucker n]

im using 8 gear reduction motors 1 at each wheel

[JAMMER]

You have a very good start there it looks great so far. Ed:cool:

[td9clyde]

looks awsome Neil is that the next grapple? do you still need the arms?

[trucker n]

yes the grapple is for that henry what do you think of the crane look ok or get you to build one

[Snochaser]

Looks good, I like the influx of logging equipment. How long have you been working on it? You've been holding out on us.

Ben

[trucker n]

i only started a couple of weeks ago:)

[Tamiya Cowboy]

That looks real good nice work!

[carp]

looks awesome mate, whats the electric motor for at the base for the crane?

[woodhog]

great to see some more logging equip.our operation is an in woods grinding crew. i am building a peerless open top then on to the equipment.looks likr you got a good start:cool:

[trucker n]

the motor at the base of the crane is for the rotation on the crane:)

[rc_farmer]

Good to see another piece of forrest machinery going on.....nice work!

[dirtpusher9]

Nice work Neil, I'm like Ben, I think you have been holding out on us. It looks like it is going to be a moster. Great work.

[SmallHaul]

Looks cool. It should pull some big logs:)

[Oil Field Construction]

Looks awesome already! And looks like your crew can run that 24-7 with all the lights on the cab for night shift... Keep the pics coming

[FreddyGearDrive]

Nice job,Lookin really good so far!
FGD

[td9clyde]

I think it looks great keep up the awsome work

[trucker n]

thanks for allthe compliments guys i hope it comes out half as good as some of your work does guys might be a while before i finish as the hydralics is the dificult part to come by

[Snochaser]

You can say that again!!!!

[tc1cat]

Would say great start but you have more than just started:rolleyes: 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!

[tracksntreadslou]

Great start neil..looks good...Your metalwork skills are sharpening up ...keep us posted

[td9clyde]

I have spare tires if your needing duals lol oh and you can fill them with bb's for the weight

[RCLogger]

Looking good Neil, that is a great project, will be good fun when it is up and running..

[td9clyde]

lookin good keep up the great work .....i need you address again PM me lol

[dirtpusher9]

Man a few more days and you'll have this thing in the woods. Looks good Neil. What ESC are you using?

[trucker n]

not sure about it being in the woods dont have any hydralics for the crane but it wont be long and i will be driving it esc prolly just use a cheap one:)

[dirtpusher9]

I have a Traxxss 7.2 ESC if you want it. It's brad new, I didn't know it was 7.2 when I got it.

[trucker n]

ok cool thanks joe

[carp]

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?

[trucker n]

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:)

[trucker n]

small update got the hubs in for the wheels got them mounted waiting for another tire put a load on to check it out

[trucker n]

thanks henry its getting there:D

[Snochaser]

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.

Ben

[rc_farmer]

That is a really cool vehicle you have going on there. I have really love the forrestry equipment and the power they possess. Keep up the good work!

all comments welcome

[hawgfanman]

Very cool!

[SmallHaul]

Nice Machine! Works nice.

I don't know if people realize that a lot of those pics are actually video links? Maybe you should say click pic for video?

[trucker n]

changed thanks smallhaul:D

[Snochaser]

Nice job, it's nice to see you make quick work of it. What's next on the agenda?

[trucker n]

im going to make a skidder:D

[rc_farmer]

Good work on yer forwarder. I like that machined trailer too.

[Oil Field Construction]

Awesome job on the Forwarder! Now you just need a skidder.. Cool vids too!

[sneaky-pete]

Nice work,and nice trailer!

[tc1cat]

Forwarder looks nice!! I think you need some extentions on the trailer! Just a little narrow. Trailer does look nice.

Lynn

[trucker n]

well the fowarder is almost done now to start on a skidder just not sure if to do a grapple or cable skidder what do you guys think just not sure if i want the exspense of hydraliks this time

[Snochaser]

I would go with a grapple, if you do cable then you will have to manually hook up your logs by hand, otherwise you can just do it while sitting back with the grapple. I'm sure someone here has another solution for hydraulics they would assist you with.

Ben

[trucker n]

ben i already have an electric grapple it is the lift also how wide is your skidder and how did you do your steering you got any pics you can send me:D

[carp]

hey trucker got any pictures of the electric grapple?

[trucker n]

carp there is a pic in my toys page:D

[Lil Giants]

Another fine example of what can be done with simple tools & a little bit ingenuity. Great work Neil! :cool:

[trucker n]

thanks joe my main tool is a dremel:D

[td9clyde]

nice job Neil keep it up have fun with building your skidder hope it all works out

[mog]

most grapple skidder have a winch on them as well. but i would say go with the grapple cus well than you can sit back and hall logs all day long from you lawn chair. keep up the good work.

[dirtpusher9]

The fowarder looks and works good Neil and I know skidder will too.

[trucker n]

thanks joe how you been

[trucker n]

will have pics of the new skidder up soon:D

[trucker n]

well i got some done on the skidder tel me what you think:D

[Trucker Al]

Trucker N,

That 1110 looks great, But I am interested is finding out where I can get some of that lumber. I'm looking for about a dozen 2 foot pieces in various diameters. They need to be as straight as possible. Any ideas?..

Al

[mazdaparts]

head out to the woods with a saw. That way you can pick and choose.

[rockNmayhem]

Ok, what do I think....... Well, first I think it looks great and that it came out as expected. Second I'm kinda dissapointed though, after all those pics I feel like something is still missing.



Oh ya, a video!!! We need moving pictures.:D

[carp]

skidder looks great Neil, got any info on the ram your using to raise/lower the grab? looks like its electric

[trucker n]

will get some video up soon carp the electric ram came from russ at the bone yard a vendor on here thanks for the compliments guys:D

[russisloud]

looking good
