I think I'm gonna get some cylinders from Clippard, since I have not seen or heard from the others:confused: as I find time I'll get a little farther. Ben

do you have seperate motors for each wheel? and how did you wire them to one speed control

Re: CAT 535C Grapple Skidder

Yes each wheel has a gear motor. I doubled them up on the speed control, it is set up for dual motors (it's a Sabertooth).

Re: CAT 535C Grapple Skidder

Got some cylinders figured out. I am going to have to get the rest (2-decking blade, 2-grapple) from PMD, I can't find small enough ones to work from Clippard. Can anyone guess what else I need?..........times up! a freakin' pump!!!

The cylinders really finish it. I can't wait to see it functional.

These are the cylinders I used for my grapple on the CAT 345 log loader

It has been in use for a few years now and still no leaks ! ! They would work well for the blade cylinders as well

Re: CAT 535C Grapple Skidder

Your lowbed is looking really good Ben. It is a nice setup to get the skidder from site to site. Hey what is Muggy Weld I have never seen it in Canada

Re: CAT 535C Grapple Skidder

Great job with the boom. Those cylinders look right at home on there. This skidder is really coming along nicely. I'm looking forward to seeing it all complete. It should be a really awesome model.
