Thanks. I'm only running about 10 bar so will crank up and see how much diff. You are correct on 1.5mm fittings (well, Clippard fittings and lines are 1/16" ID but pretty much same thing). Looking forward to seeing the 850. Hope you will post some pics as you build.

You should take a few pictures of your 850 build then you could make a video of its first steps, and make that one video. that would be pretty cool. Do you plan to paint it Cat yellow or John Deere yellow and Grey? When do you think the 850 will be in the basement loading the Volvo A.D.T. or the Mammoth? Thanks!!!

Turning up the press will help to increase flow, but it also makes the motor work harder. Try to keep the cyls moving all the time, even just a hair so the oil flow is not all going thru the relief valve. Makes your batt last longer and keeps your oil cooler.

JD yellow & I thought it was gloss black, is it either or?
Don't know how long it will take to finnish. I think I have everything.

Hi Joe,

YT changed the email notification method, you need to revisit your subscribed channels and click on the subscribe button again, this is turn shows another green box below, with the option to tick a box that sends you a mail every time that person uploads a video...

Hope that helps..

[Lil Giants]

Yeah, thx Elliot. I just saw that green box when I subscribed ihbuilder74's channel. That should fix it.

Started priming metal parts on the 850 last nite. I was watching vids of the 1:1 850 & I'm uncertain if the undercarriage & arms are gloss or satin black. Anybody know?

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

The construction charcaol Is the exact colour I used on my 2554 LL Joe Ed is Bang on ...I have An ertle 1/50 2954 that has A black boom and undercarrage but im not sure if they got their colour right because I have seen quite a few of these machines but not with black...
Here is a few photos of the 850 in good light...Wow that thing huge It is going to daurf your other fleet.

Mog showed me that video a while back. fricking awesome! id love that terex next to it though.

[RCTech9]

Do you still have your Stahl TrackLoader?

[doodlebug]

Wow! Never woulda guessed that one! What next in the attachment world?
Later, dodlebug

[Lil Giants]

I saw that when it was on his workbench... not alot of power & pretty slow. I've given up on the idea, even if I were successful at making one, I think the vibration over a long term would likely destroy the excav model.

Rctech9, yes I do. No it's not for sale.

[Stuff]

LOL love that 'not for sale' bit :P

ya the vibrations, i wondered that myself. wondered how many hammers till either the tool falls apart or it hurts the pump or a line or a valve...

[hvy 1ton]

How about a ripper for the 850? If the 850 has enough stick breakout force your soil, it could work really well.

Don't know why they are thumbnails but they get bigger if you click on them.

With regards to the breaker, what about a grinding wheel?

Do they make hydraulic motors small enough for such a tool?

[justinart24]

Mr. "lilGiants"

Man, looks like a blast, killer rigs you got there! I wanted to ask, if you could keep only one rig, what would it be?

Justin,
