Home Built Skid Loader

[have_blue]

Let's see:

ChrisK's cost to build, $2000.00
ChrisK's labor, about $20,000.00 /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Heck, I can't even afford that nice bucket.

Man

you could probably finance your next project by selling your plans!

Good work!

Serious about the plans, though

 

[LoganWildman]

Will Solid works let you export to a format that Autocad can read? I'd love to get a set of those plans for a future project!

Awesome work man!

WOW! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Great to have you and your photos here on TBN! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Keep those posts coming! I'm looking forward to hearing more! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

A shroud over the chain and motor would be a good idea but it looks really good. Whats the loader capacity? What brand/hp did you use? Awesome work.

 

[chrisk]

Capacity is 9 cu foot on the bucket and weight I have at around 1200 pounds. As for brand/hp I assume you are talking about the engine. The engine is a 75 pinto 4 cylinder. I think they are around 88 hp, so the engine doesnt have to work to hard. I will post some more pics and info soon

That is SUPER cool! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif I only wish I had half the talent you must have. Wow.

 

[StoneHeartFarm]

Well, let's see. That pretty much makes my projects look like grade school. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Seriously. Good job. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Chris,

That is one beautiful job!! CONGRATS on a job well thought out and compleated.

Another forumm you, and others, may want to check out is,

Machine Builders Network

You and many others here would sure fit in there.

 

[theonlybull]

that is a great site, joe, didn't know you hung out here too

 

[OldWelder]

Hey, Howdy TOB.....

Yes, been a lurker for a bit. And now I'm noticing other familiar names too. This site has so many interesting forums I get lost.

Would StoneHeartFarm be over at Simple Tractors too?

 

[ivancou]

I'd like to see plans also . Neat project ! I've been lurking for some time now as a visitor and thought maybe I'd log on. Ivan

 

[Henro]

I gotta show that to the boy....even proved to him ( I thought) with a prism.I even tried absorption of heat as proof...maybe he'll listen to you! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[corbin]

Chrisk, I am totally interested in a project like this. Fill me in with details and plans and whatever else. Now this is the kind of project I want to tackle!
