Making a new grizzly for RCland.

Re: Skeeters contracting services
The weekly PNWSTE video. In this Video Skeeters Contracting Service put their RC4WD 4200XL Cat excavator to work. Two RC4WD 4200XL machines are working hard to keep material flowing through the Grizzly. Aaron's Hitachi RC4WD 4200XL excavator is hard at work to keep material flowing through the grizzly. ChrisCustomRC has an appearance with their converted Bruder Mack dump truck. It's just barely visible in the lower right hand corner of the video.

Re: Skeeters contracting services
A friend of mine hand crafted in his garage this awesome Belly Dump trailer. I had the privilege of seeing it at the September PNWSTE gathering. Here's a lil video of er in action.

Re: Skeeters contracting services
Here we see a set of functional platform scales for the RC trucks. This scale is permanently installed in RCland. Shortly after this video was shot, the approach was reworked, & the scale was cemented into it's permanent position.

Re: Skeeters contracting services
The NewBright tractor conversion works well, but I need a bigger machine to tend to all the crops! I stepped away from NewBright & Bruder for this conversion. I went with an Ertl model this time. I've got the drive function working, but still need to figure out the steering.

Re: Skeeters contracting services
I made some improvements to RCland the last few weeks. With the addition of the Faroe loader, the bunker area needed modified. The old area worked GREAT for the Bruder tracked loader conversion, :D that has a ZERO turn radius. The Faroe loader needed a bit more room to be able to maneuver. Where the Eco blocks are on the LHS of the pic, that's where the area use to end. I relocated the road a bit so I could do this.
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7843/...08b8d4a2_z.jpgunnamed by Anthony Kalnoski, on Flickr The OLD grizzly system was too small for the Faroe loader!:( It was alright height wise at the entryway, but the rear was a lil too short.:( Additionally, the old grizz wasn't wide enough. Every time the loader would feed the grizz, materials would fall over the side(s).:( I HAD to make a new grizz. The new grizzly does tricks too.:cool: New grizz is half again as wide, & half again as deep, with openings between the bars TWICE as big as the old version!:bounce: Since I'm no mathematician, I had to draw the design out, BEFORE I could order material to go farther.:o Once it was drawn out, then I could figure out how many grizzly bars I needed to make er happen. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4908/...de891c74_z.jpgNew grizzly by Anthony Kalnoski, on Flickr Once the grizz was put into place, I decided that the hoe tha usually feeds the grizz needed to sit above the plant. :jaw:This way WAY bigger loader could enter the plant to keep er cleaned out. The hoe was sitting on the floor level, & slightly protruding past the grizz entryway. I guess I need to make a retaining wall to make this new vision come to life! https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4888/...36dfb08c_z.jpgNew Grizz2 by Anthony Kalnoski, on Flickr Now the hoe has a place to sit near the grizz, without being in the way of the BIG loader! I figure the hoe can feed, PLUS the loader has access the unsupported slope of the pile. That way the loader can help feed the grizz too!:cool: The new grizz will be the ONLY grizz in this processing plant! Bye Bye to the other 2 grizzlies that use to sit next to the primary one!:jaw: Now we just gotta work on getting a vibrating screen deck. HOPEFULLY if all goes well, we'll have a screener to farther separate the materials. Of course with a screen deck comes conveyors.............................This simple lil redesign of the Grizzly area just turned into a MAJOR project! |

A sneak peak at the new trick that the new grizzly does. RcTruckAndConstruction is the ONLY place this sneak preview pic has been posted!

Re: Skeeters contracting services
How is the newloader? Lockong diffs?

The loader has open diffs. I sometimes wish they were locked, but I know that would mean an even bigger turning radius. Having previously had ONLY the Bruder tracked loader to work with, turning radius WASN'T a problem when the production area was originally laid out! With zero turning radius things were laid out close together to make for less unnecessary travel distance. I've ONLY got around 4 hours of runtime on the machine so far. as we add more hours to that count, time will tell if this machine is durable & long lasting as hoped. |
Re: Skeeters contracting services
I'd been having a urge to have some RC fun for the entire month! Keeping an eye on the weather reports, the time FINALLY came. We were all set to have a couple of dry days in a row. On December 15th, 2018 PNWSTE had its final gathering of the year. It was a last minute impromptu gathering. The phone calls started going out Thursday evening for a Saturday morning gathering. Since it was so short of notice we only had a handful that could make it to the meet.
In this weeks PNWSTE video, a friend of mine is operating my RC4WD 4200XL excavator. The other 4200XL was recently acquired used by a PNW member. He LOVES his machine. I was busy running other stuff, & passed the remote so all could have fun. Here's the link to this weeks PNWSTE video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFUc6QSY2gc&t=3s |
Re: Skeeters contracting services
This week we'll see the second part of the video that was started last week. Perhaps I'm a bit biased, but this is my favorite part of the video.
