Re: Dozer like Cat D8
Seilbagger-I have seen a few dozer loadings that went almost like this. I had to laugh a little but your dozer looks and works great! One of my favorites. If I ever built a dozer it would be a cable...

Re: Clamshell Bucket Build
Jim-I agree the clam looks a bit large for the scale but whatever you can make work. The larger clam will be more efficient loading. Is that a 1/50 scale truck you are loading? I agree with Joe. It...

Your tugboat seems to handle the load pretty good! I noticed the fish following the tug. Is the crew throwing food overboard?:D Nice video!!

Re: Clamshell Bucket Build
Jim- that is an interesting set-up with the counterweight. What is the purpose of the counterweight? If you are using a 2-part line that cuts your speed of movement in half but doubles your torque....

Re: 1:50 Dragline
Your off to a nice start. I do know they run 2-3 part lines on the pulley systems. Once pulleys are installed I think the adjustment of you lines will control the opening. Not sure.

Yes-some of the newer draglines have all controls on the joy sticks but most of the older ones have swing pedals. I tried to find swing pedals for my dragline but gave up after searching for awhile....

Re: 1:50 Dragline
Rvjimd-"tight lining" means carrying the bucket in close to the boom after it is loaded. This action on a real dragline would cause the hoist & drag motors to overheat and severely damage or possibly...
