Thanks Wayne.

Well, I'm glad I didn't test late last night . Powered the screen this morning and it's a little loud at first

Small update but a big step in making the screener user friendly. Obviously using a ESC and radio was just a testing tool and today I built something more permanent ...... A rheostat and battery , all plug and play and mobile.

Mario just a heads up on the dirt you have piled around the tree at screening plant if dirt gets higher it will kill the tree

Thanks. I was wondering about that and any effect. I love the canopy of shade all the trees provide and don't want to screw that up. Good news is my theoretical new layout of the screener area will take all that dirt away from the base of the tree.
Can't wait till spring!

Time for an update.....
Back in September my good friend Goose19 ( Allen ) was in town and wanted to play in the pit. I said what do you want to run? Truck, dozer, hoe, loader?
He said loader.
He ran it for about 5 minutes and was ready to start loading the truck. On his third bucket he approached the truck bucket up, ready to dump when all of a sudden the drive ESC went crazy! The loader went to full speed forward and climbed right up the side of the dump box! for a split second I looked his way as to say... What are you doing!
So, long story short. Both ESC 's are cooked and ordered a few new ones. the look on his face was priceless! nothing he did wrong, just the timing was hilarious it happened to him and not me.

This weekend I finally decided to install the new ESC's when I realized I've got lots of repairs and upgrades to do, never mind new builds like conveyors I can't even test in the yard right now!

Loader all done and was testing and setting up the valves when I noticed a lot of heat coming from the pump ESC. I posted this video before knowing what was wrong and found out later in the day, the brand new out of the box , 10 dollar China ESC was bad.
Anyway, here's the video with my new ground rubber I got and its really going to help get me through till spring

Wired in the new ESC lastnight and sure enough, as soon as I get it running perfect I want to push it and see what it can do.
History repeats itself. 2 years ago when my bruder loader was brand new, never seen dirt I did a push test.
Just had to do something like that again I guess.

BTW. Still original cylinders, valve , the drive servos, first pump failed within a few hours of run time but new one has been great ever since.
Replaced servos and ESC's that's it.
