Re: PFB's Vario JD 850D
You did great job! Now make a video of that digger behind a truck see we could see them more in action!
Btw, that video was running on background for awhile and that sound was amazing, just like a real digger! |

Nice job on this set up Nate! Is the fifth wheel bucket mount a scale 1:1 prototype?

Re: PFB's Vario JD 850D
Very cool Nathan! I have never seen this set up before watching the video. A very innovative idea.

Re: PFB's Vario JD 850D
A tamiya rig will certainly pull 80lbs, but to try to carry 80lbs too ? You'll want to replace that plastic 5th slider plater with a metal one.

Re: PFB's Vario JD 850D
Joe's D9 is about 80lbs.
Nate, it'd be interesting to know what amount weight would it be at the bucket with the rear of the tracks resting on the dollies, could you weigh it on a bathroom scale? What do you think of a tri axle jeep to spread the load? Your trk with Russisloud's simulated air ride suspension, a load such as this would certainly test its limits!

Re: PFB's Vario JD 850D
Got no scale, that way I can't check how fat I am...
I did test the rig tonight and it pulled the vario just fine. Just need to load the front of the truck with weight so it will respond to steering better. |

Re: PFB's Vario JD 850D
Did you lubricate your 5th wheel at all?
A spray on graphite is relatively clean to work with, dries very quickly.

Hey Nate, do you have a farm store near by, with scale's?
Post office scale's, not practical option. Cheer's, Neil. |

Re: PFB's Vario JD 850D
Finally warm enough to get some welding done on these buckets Joe traded to me for my 1st dollies. (V2 will be built soon) Although rare, sometimes it's nice to have a small TIG for this tiny stuff!
Not bad for a couple hours tonight! Should have them finished up this weekend. |

Re: PFB's Vario JD 850D
Is that your 1st time using the tig?
Good to see you're getting back at 'er.
