Compact Tractor FEL build

:thumbsup:Very nicely done. If you have some proccess pictures they would be welcome too. What are you using for a bearing/bushing at the pivot points? I really like the neat plumbing that you did.

I know I took more pictures but, I cant figure out what happened to them. Guessing they were on my wifes camera and she deleted them.

For bushing Im using 1 1/4" 1/4" wall tube. Its the same as the loader I copied. I'm debating rather the 3/4" pins are heavy enough but, I think they should be. You figure I pull 12k # on my trailer using a 3/4" pin in the hitch. They are also in double shear and well supported so... should be fine.

Nice job. Thanks for the thread.

I was going to build a loader for my B6200 but got sidetracked. Then I ended up selling it andupgraded to a B2620 with loader. I needed more pto horsepower for my blower and wanted a rototiller.

X2 on the nice plumbing. Those hard lines really make the job look professional. How hard was it to do hard lines?

I was thinking, perhaps erroneously, that most small CUT loaders used 25 mm or 1 in. pins.

as a hobby I build rc rockcrawlers from brakeline tubing. Needless to say I am very used to bending tube and getting it exactly as I want it.

example:

I really appreciate all the compliments. Having never undertaken a project like this, I am very nervouse to put power to it the first time.

As a side note... I have 3 more hydraulic cylinders sitting here, I need to figure something out to build.

How about adding a grapple?

You also 'need' forks!:thumbsup: You will wonder how you lived without them.

My crystal ball tells me there's a backhoe in your future.
