Re: Are you greasing the pivots of your excavator?
A new machine arrived today :). First thing I did was pull all the pins I could and grease them. It's an easy job and IMO it is definitely "regularly scheduled maintenance" for an excavator so not...

I've been out of the hobby for a while and im back!
Just ordered an earth digger 360L, a trailer and a 6x4 Benz tractor.
A dump trailer is next on the list but that will be a bit.

Re: Prototype Cat Tractor and Road Groomer
Thanks Kroll.
I would like to try a 4 or 6 bottom plow and perhaps a harrow like this one from bruder:

Re: Prototype Cat Tractor and Road Groomer
Did some testing in the backyard test facility today.
The 1.9's sunk and dug in immediately so went back to 2.2's. These solved the traction issue and the gearing is OK.
Some videos of the...

Experimental CAT Extreme Slope Dozer
Here is my vision of what CAT might build if they created something to compete with JD's High Speed Dozer. But this will be able to doze on extreme slopes too.

Re: Case 1470
She's forming up nicely!
With the work this tractor might be doing now is a good time to look into lowering the gearing, before the trans gets too buried.
I think a 15 is stock, so maybe a 12...

Re: Prototype Cat Tractor and Road Groomer
Ok good to hear. Will stick to 1.9's for now and do some 1.9/2.2 comparison testing as soon as it dries out. Lots of rain in NJ today.
Its a 35 turn motor. I have a 55 and will try it.

Awesome idea! I do have a tank/pump setup from an abandoned tracked brush fire vehicle project and will try to retrofit them.

Re: Prototype Cat Tractor and Road Groomer

Re: Prototype Cat Tractor and Road Groomer
I would like to have multiple groomer designs to play with so made another tonight.
This one is much simpler and lighter than the one above and will (presumably) require less h.p. to pull. (?)
