Unit Cable Hoe

[SmallHaul]

Jared, Thank You so much far all the info! I think I understand all of the cabling now after looking at the first diagram.



The only problem is the routing of the cables are compounded 2 times which would reduce the drum speed twice and that would slow everything down too much. In my second video loading the Mack truck with the pulleys added the cables are compounded once (cutting the speed in half) and the digging speed is just right. So, I'll just have to setup the jack boom a little differently on the model.

Joe, thank you very much.

Map gas burns a lot hotter than butane or propane and when brazing aluminum it sucks the heat up real bad as you can imagine. Even using Map gas it took a while to heat the hoe bucket up enough to flow the alumarod.
