Great to have ya here greg, now where's Lou?

Lou has signed up as well ( tracksntreadslou ) he is busy getting his 966 he bought from Joe up and running with a logging grapple on it. He is coming over this afternoon. I have some wood for him to move.. LoL ;)

greg

Awesome! :D

Very nice set up!!!

I hope there will be a video of the work!

That a nice setup you got there I like it a lot. Ed

Good to read you again Greg. :)

Your lawn is getting smaller with every posting. :D

Glad to see you found the forum Greg and welcome aboard.

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks guys , glad you like the construction zone.

Joe you are right as the construction area is growing all the time, it is twice the size since you were here. LoL The wife has figured out that the lawn is slowly disappearing.

Attached is a photo of the construction equipment I have made.

Re: RCLogger
 

What a nice collection Greg, you should be proud of them.

Re: RCLogger
 

What, no 1/14th grass mowing equipment? Maybe could add a tub-grinder to get rid of all the waste tree parts and stumps. It's really cool to see the machines you have working. Must have a very understanding wife...

Re: RCLogger
 

Great collection of equipment you have there Greg. I have followed most of your builds before and they were always great to follow. Have fun with Lou and his new CAT 966. As for your lawn, well I'd say it should consider itself lucky for now that you haven't taken over the whole yard. I have a feeling I will have a whole construction operation going at my future backyard. Thanks for sharing those pictures.

Re: RCLogger
 

Great equipment Greg! Please make tons & tons of videos.

Re: RCLogger
 

Hey Greg Does your wife know that we need a dryland sort and a pond to start making up booms...lol..You may have to ramp up to that pool of yours

Re: RCLogger
 

Greg you have a nice fleet there it looks good. Ed

Re: RCLogger
 

some day when i get my skidder finshed i will have to make it out there and bring some log up to the deck for your loader.

Re: RCLogger
 

Nice to see your stuff again Greg. Ben

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks for the comments guys.
I had a chance to put some bridge abutements in before Lou stopped by today.

Re: RCLogger
 

just need a scraper now lol nice fleet all your models look great! someday i might get the few i have goin lol might have to go for a road trip sometime and go push some dirt for ya

Re: RCLogger
 

Great setup and equipment, I really do need to find the time to come over and check things out, if nothing else to see how much space and plumbing is involved with the hydraulics so I can plan the layout in my ladder truck.

Re: RCLogger
 

Here is a video of the bridge work I did the other day, hope you like it..

Re: RCLogger
 

Nice videos Greg. Glad to see the D8 working.

Re: RCLogger
 

Greg Thats looks great cutting your own path through the trees. Lou's truck sure carries a good load. Have you guys ever thought about doing some heli logging.

Re: RCLogger
 

Great vids Greg!

Re: RCLogger
 

Greg, Looks like the only pc. of road building equiptment that you guys don't have is a Track Drill and some Dynamite. Enjoyed your videos. Fred

Re: RCLogger
 

Great Videos as always.

Re: RCLogger
 

Don't go giving them ideas or it may end up going BOOM !!!!.........there goes the neighborhood:D:D:D

Re: RCLogger
 

Hey fred I tossed it around my mind a few times ...I swamped on one in my earlier years...May have to start collecting some dynamite at holoween lol

Great vids greg ...Boy that D8 moves alot of dirt in a short time ..You made up a log landing in about 10 minutes .:D

Re: RCLogger
 

Rob I have to admit, I have been looking at my RC Helicopter collecting dust for the last 4 years since I started the construction modeling hobby. I think the neighbors would not like the noise of the OS 50 screeming in the back yard. Maybe a electric machine with some good lift :D :D

greg

Re: RCLogger
 

I've got an Eflite Hughs 500 coax that has lots of lift. I'll have to put a hook on it and try lifting some dowels to see how much it'll pick up. That might be something different flying the logs into the dry land sort.

Re: RCLogger
 

greg i lost all my book marks what was the name of the place that you got your cylinders from thanks

Re: RCLogger
 

Good Day
Depending on the length and size I am looking for and also the stroke
http://www.mcmaster.com/#
http://clippard.com/
I use the air cylinders they sell, I must say they work just fine and I have never replaced any due to oil leaks...
I do prefer the Mcmaster-Carr as the die is smaller so it has less oil in the cylinder (volume ), which inturn makes the cylinder move faster..;)

Re: RCLogger
 

thanks man

Re: RCLogger
 

wonderful collection Greg, It is cool knowing there are some great equiment here on the island, I hope to get the chance to meet all you island guys someday and check out your builds.

Re: RCLogger
 

Hey Jason
We will have to get together, Lou and I could use another operator when we have all our iron up and running. We will also be able to put your truck to work.. What iron do you operate at work ?


greg

Re: RCLogger
 

the question should be what don't I operate :) lol, I operate everything at my work, but mostly Excavator and Dozer. if your ever around the new uptown walmart in victoria, you will probably see me swinging around in the excavator. I will be there for the next year working on phase 2

Re: RCLogger
 

I had some equipment out working today, had some fall clean up to do. The tomatoes are done for this season and it was time to clean up the plants..
Not sure if the cylinders on the hoe are starting to leak because it was cooler outside or just to much wear and tare.. Had to punch in a road to the back of the yard. You can see the plants in the back of the photo. I used the thumb on the hoe to pile up plants.
