Greg, Good to see that you got a new build in progress, its been a while since I have been on here but I'm getting caught up on some full size and 1/2 scale projects and hope to soon get back on a articulated tractor project. In the mean time, I need to read through the forum. Keep us posted on this build. Thanks, Fred

Looks good Greg and the new work area looks good too!! Are you taking it to Duncan with you? I got one of the 1/16 scale Deere dozers down here at an Ontario JD dealer. Going to convert it this winter.
Cheers.

Thx Joe, you must be busy this time of the year..

Looking forward to seeing your new Cat Rob

Here is a video of the new machine at work. Skided about two highway loads of logs in about half of an hour, short skid but steep ground..

The skidder looks great. It is strong for not having any hydraulics. I kept waiting for you to grab an bundle of logs and drag them over the dirt pile just to show how well it climbs.

How did you set up the mechanics of the grapple. It looks like it grabs the logs pretty firmly, but there doesnt appear to be a way to cheat and gain a lot of mechanical advantage. Just curious how you made it so strong.

Thanks again for sharing your awesome builds.

Attached is the rest of the video of skidding the logs off the top of the hill. As well I will add a photo of the photo build in the future.. The grapple has a large servo installed with springs to save the servo from over stress.

Low budget! Right up my alley.

I wish more of these builds were low budget. Now, if there was only a low budget hydraulic pump/cylinder/valve solution....

Even the firgelli actuators are not cheap! I have not tried them yet, but pneumatic cylinders from clippard seem to be about the least expensive option for using hydraulics. Its been a while since I did a search on the forum, but has anyone come up with an affordable solution for this aspect of the hobby?

Happy new year to everyone!

-Ben

What a great score Greg! Beautiful new tool! Some guys have all the luck... right time right place. How much power does it have? You're building up quite a workshop with all the right tools.
