Steve great start should look great when its done.

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
 

Woah that's gonna be a beast. Looks like you are right on track. I look forward to seeing this one go together, especially since you plan on getting it to function. So are you gonna do gear motors and screws or hydraulics?

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
 

Looking good

Some side boxes, like this one might give you some more room to hide the workings??

I think it's going to be best to use hydros on this with some screw drives
