Great looking loader!

It is smooth, has good reach (both top and bottom) good cycle speed, great drive speed...

Very well done.

Quick question for you. At your pivot points, do you just drill a hole and insert a bolt, or do you press in some kind of a bushing to prevent wear over time??

Thanks

I don't add a bushing, if it starts to wear out I over size the hole and if it wears that out I would add a bushing...

The grapple looks really nice Greg. Great job!

Thanks for the comments guys, had a chance to make a short video today

The 980 is a real good lifter, can lift alot of wood...

You´ve made yourself a very nice loader. Nicely operated as well

Nice to see it working Greg, no lack of power or performance. Weather looks good too! Trees and grass already green? What's next to build since you blew through that build? A feller buncher?

Hey Greg nice Job on the grapple ..Probably been 20 + years since you sat in the seat huh ..The vids looks like you havent missed a beat..Do you ever remember loading a truck in 6 minutes with the 1-1 .lol

Love the videos of your equipment working, that loader is fantastic. I hope to some day be able to build a quality fleet of equipment like yours. Thanks for the answer on the bushings and all of the other information that you pass on to us here on the forums. It is a real help and makes starting one of these pieces a whole lot less intimidating.

With all the good information and people on this site all I can say is start planning your next project and start cutting, it will workout just fine..

THANKS FOR THE REMINDER LOU !!!!! I had to get a calculator out to figure that one out, it has been 25 years since I operated a log loader Where has the time gone ! And six minutes would be on the fast side for a load..

Another radio is on order for the mixing Chris.
