The build started in juni '21.
End August '21 i've reached a first milestone.
the trough and his bead are provisional welded
the rear axle gets her links
so the axle is mounted on the frame and a first loading test starts
pre weighed 10 kg stones
nothing cracked . the shock absorbers moves just a few mm.
20 kg stones
nothing cracked . the shock absorbers moves just a few more mm.
30 kg stones. maximum payload is reached
nothing cracked . the shock absorbers down.
some manual flexing works well too.
Now I've knew, that all the main components will work on full payload.
At this point i'm very pleased with the build so far.
