Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Great work Lou!

I can't wait to see vids of the hydraulic grapple working.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Thank you guys .Im very fortunate to have the collection i have and to have the tools and skills to build them ...Ed I think that I get the most enjoyment from the the machines and parts i make especially when they work..
A few days ago we got a service call to work on some fire protection underground..Im a sprinkler fitter by trade .They were moving a broke down scoop with another and accedently pushed some tires against there sprinkler valve station in there shop...The shop is over 3000 feet strait down underground ...The first 1/2 hour was a little spooky...I will load a few pics ...Maybe joe might get some ideas for when the basement is done...lol

Lou your TD25 looks great as do others in your fleet. The pictures from work were in a mine weren't they? Ed

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

i really love your 25 there i have a 1:50 td24 that came with a Karry arch on the back that sist above my t.v and when i look that it make me think of yours. there you go that's should be the next projet a logging arch so you can save the sawmill blades lol

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Wow, awesome collection of equipment you have there. I hope to get an escavator or a bulldozer one day, something with real hydraulics!

Hey, I have family in Vancouver, I may have to bump up going for a visit and swing by to check these bad boys out in person.
:D

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Thanx Ed Yes the photos were taking in the mine at about 3000 feet ..The shop forman was telling us there was over 200 peices of equipment down there ..All was dismantled and brought down peice by peice in a about 8x12 elevator

Greg and I are doing a demo next month in early sept ...should come over and see the show

Thanx Martin... Tha would be a great addition to the flleet ...would have to build a winch though...we see them kicking around here now and then ...Most people use them to hang there signs ..

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Lou, it's all looking good. Workin' on a skidder? I would love to have the grapple you made for mine, doubt mine will turn out quite that nice! Ben

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Lou, what tyres are those. They look really good.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Bob

Lou ,
fantastic build ! I love it !

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Willy You got it Proline 1.9 flat irons ...Thanks ..Wish I lived nearby your Park ...Very impressive and lots of stuff going on ..visit your website at least once a week ..

Ben the grapple is going to be for a juicer..a little small for the skidder...Im pretty sure you will come up with sometime good considering the rest of your build

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Thanks Lou ,
I always like to hear that .
within the past few months you probably didn’t see many updates to my site , ( except of videos posted to YouTube )
I was mainly busy with going to and organizing all kind of events .
( trucking , tanking , crawling )
And now finally I starting slowly to post all the updates from the past events .
New builds are kind a on the back-burner , at the moment I do more internal improvements and upgrades.

Keep up the great work !

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Lou, That bridge looks a little light for the truck, trailer and the Cypress. That sure is a nice setup with your new trailer, nice work. Fred

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

I love that red guy!

You have some very nice pieces there and great pix. Ed
