Rearloader

[egronvold]

I've started to build a rearloader. Not a copy of anything (easier that way :D)
Made the bucket today. Quite narrow, since most of the old rearloaders did not come with wide buckets.

That's very unique. I'm surprised you have room for all the electronics, and hydraulics. These machines were never very large.

Very cool project. What scale is the tractor?

Very cool project. What scale is the tractor?

1:Tamiya. I had the lift cylinders from before I started the project. They could've had a smaller diameter, scale- wise, but no I have lots of lifting power.

First real testing: http://youtu.be/EIjX_KgicVc

Nice. Your loader runs very smooth, and seems to have plenty of power. I know you like the narrow bucket, but I honestly feel like it could easily handle a wider one. There doesn't seem to be a lack of traction or power!

Nice project, the machine is working well. looking forwart to see the end result.

[egronvold]

Thanks guys!

Very cool model yo have there.....i lvoe the scratchbuilt stuff:D

[egronvold]

Some more testing. This time with a bigger bucket: http://youtu.be/E2L0HrIFnzw

Stunt loader!lol Looks like it works very well! Nice job making something different.

[Espeefan]

Great video! Now it looks like you need some counterweights in the rear. Maybe some agriculture tractor style suitcase weights that can be added, or removed? I'm still impressed with the performance! Smooth, strong, and I like how you designed the self-leveling bucket linkages.

Wheels are glued and filled with weight: http://youtu.be/xKg2QYg8efE

Got a kid in September, so no real progress on this one. Got to drive it a little bit at a club meeting this Sunday: http://youtu.be/7J6-0sRHhSA

Definitively free styling :)

A fantastic dirt project for your constr fleet Emil. :cool:

How big is the hole and is one area deeper than any other?

[egronvold]

I guess it's about 3 meters in diameter, and app 50 cm deep. We have to dig a new drainage around the house, so it will be filled faster than I'd like. My fiancé is not interested in waiting for my machines to do the job ;)

I'll have as much fun as possible while I've got the chance. I'm at home on paternity leave, so I run my machines when my son is having his naps :D

Cool loader. I like that BB weight.

[egronvold]

Finally got to do some more work on the rearend loader :)
