Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Driven rear axles?
|
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Yes, but with needle roller clutches... 8x8 going forward, 8x4 reverse
|
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
That's interesting. What about your trucks? Have they been retired after many years of service?

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Looking good joe, you need a way to haul stuff and I need a way to load stuff:). Lol!! Hope planting season has been good, two of our fields that a farmer is and panting have only been 2/3s planted. Lower parts are just too wet. Been one of the wettest years ever. I can't even get into the two fields to mow with the big tractor. Too soft and too deep.

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
That looks like a great project Joe. Look forward to seeing the progress of the build

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Retired I suppose Emil, the small tired vehicles don't get around that well, and the capacity is much less than the Fumotec trks. ;)
I updated my farmer thread last week Cooper... it was crazy wet 1st part of May, a lot of wheel slippage throughout seeding, got stuck bad at the end, now 6 weeks later it's crazy dry & my crop is coming up patchy b/c of excessive compaction during seeding & virtually no rainfall to keep the soil mellow... it's gonna be another yr of :rolleyes: Here's more progress for you Evan http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psae6qdpmp.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psif4lapas.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psyxfh4nlz.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psywqkiwuo.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psnlriml6z.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psgnmezl43.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pspxdm0toy.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psv5da5fii.jpg Get some 1 1/4" flat bar tomorrow to make the gates, plus another order of 1/4" square stock (5 joints) should arrive tomorrow to start making the next trl... took an entire 22 foot length of 1/4" to make this trl :eek: A trip to the city on Saturday to the farmer sex shop to get tools & supplies for the Lil Giants shop & farm, I picked up this band saw on sell for $300, it'll make short work of cutting steel for the next 3-4 trls. ;) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psnpdk377b.jpg Even has an attachment for it to make it a vertical bandsaw :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psqoakem2y.jpg |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Looking good Joe, I'm curious how you are going to attach the gate and make it move with the actuonix actuators.
|
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Looking good Joe. Most people don't realize how much material goes into building this stuff, especially any type of trailer! Are you coming out here in July?
|
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Looks heavy duty! Nice work.
|
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
About a month away, eh Reg? ...hadn't thought about it till now ...come hang with you this time or is Mario coming this yr?
I got to looking at my handywork with plastic sheet the next morning & 1st thought was what an incredible waste of space!!! cut my capacity in half. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psxj6v4jwp.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psipdd6ysg.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psijmolzex.jpg Couple more roundy bits to make in the lathe & then see about how to make it all work with one actuator. :) |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Nice progress! Your going to be able to haul a lot more material with this trailer :cool:

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
That's looking good Joe. How much material will that sucker hold?
|
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
The trailer is turning out great Joe. Yes the show is on July 15-16 I believe. I may only attend on Saturday this year but we'll see how things are going in the shop.
|
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
This is looking good Joe, how many can you hook and pull at a time do you think?
|
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
In the last pic the trl is sitting on a 20L pail Evan, I'm betting it'll hold most of that. I made the height of the trl the same as the B50 adt so a loader can fill it, but I also plan to make 2" cheaters for more capacity with the hoe loading.
I guess we'll wait & see Reg... Relying on just 8wd drive Kent? ...hoping two more trls, started on two at once again yesterday... if not, add more powered axles. ;) Farted away the afternoon putting together the rear of the trl & trying to get two rx's to bind together... started with an AR8000 & AR610 (both DSMX), didn't work. Then tried the AR6115e with the AR8000, didn't work. Two AR8000's together, that worked... though that seems like kind of a waste... I came across some good deals on ebay last February, picked up AR9020's, AR8000's & AR610's for 40-70% off from hobbyshop listed prices. :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps5h6vwhwb.jpg |
