Lou, that juicer turned out awesome! Great looking cab modifications, with that hinge. You really turned that excavator into something unique and different. Great work!

Hi Lou,

Some questions for you.

How long you had the Damitz? Would you say its been reliable?

Ref your 6 wheeler dumper, how high is it from ground to top side of the loading bed?

I know of a 2nd hand Damitz for sale and trying to work out if it would be suitable to load into a dumper that is 30cm tall.

Thanks
Elliot

Thanks Eliot..I have had my machine for over 2 years now and its very reliable..Im fairly happy with it ..Great run times and fairly strong,,,The only problems I have with it are the travel speeds...very slow...It aso does starve the the hydros (boom and Stick )when swinging ..hardy noticable when ATV is ajusted properly .
My dumper is 10 1/2 high and the damitz just clears up close..Your looking at about 11 3/4 so you may have to elevate yours a bit to load comfortably

Lou, How many MP is your new camera? The grapple you built is about as real as they come, it handles those logs as if it were on the landing loading for real, a touch more counter weight might let you overload the JD. Fred

@ wheelsofsteel thanks very much..Guess you could say both ..the blue prints i use arnt very detailed so lots of photos help ..there are quite a few sleepless nights working out problems and how am i gona do this and that?
500 is a good start and you should be able to buy most of of you electronics and building material...the best thing i can sujest right now is to read as many threads on hear as you can to get some ideas..There are some very talented builders..
