Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)

Oh yeah...batteries. The Ertl test board has been hooked to a 12v car charger for last two years. :p I hear you on working the motor...you can really hear it labor when all the hydros are idle.

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)

Cool video Joe. Watching your excavator work I realize my hydraulics for my backhoe project don't run quite that speed. (Probably the small lines I'm using). Does your excavator have same Leimbach...
