Re: Newbie Scratch Build - D575A Dozer
Quote:
So had a bit of free time this afternoon and weighed it up as I need to think about the balance issue that’s causing it’s to sit on it’s front idlers. I don’t know what happened but I have miscalculated the weight somewhere. Without the blade and arms it’s 51kgs. The blade and arms is 21kgs so that’s why it’s causing an issue.I weighed the ripper metal I have ready to assemble and it’s about 7kgs plus it hangs far about the back it will help balance some of the blade weight. I might have to add some steel ballast to get it right. So in total maybe 80kgs in the end. A bit heavier than I anticipated but the motors still move it about easily I can see my glass bathroom scales getting cracked tho

Re: Newbie Scratch Build - D575A Dozer
80kg WOW
 Some general measurements of blade? LxH ...the dozer itself LxWxH? I'm not familiar with the background objects in your pictures to get an idea of its size.

Re: Newbie Scratch Build - D575A Dozer
Hi everyone!
Wow I can’t believe it’s been so long. Life gets in the way too much now but I’m determined to get this done ! Just finalising the rams for the tilt on the blade and should be ready. Below is a video of the ripper hydraulic test which worked out great. More to follow. Thanks for the interest in the build. Rob https://youtu.be/-w3CDwHl3Ww
