Hey we even send the fish that boats fishes to China because it is cheaper to fillet it there and get it finished back in packets due to costs. it's gone crazy
A few years ago we had several paper mills in Norway now will the last be closed

 

[ovrszd]

Yeah, the China thing has changed the way the World does business. I'm not picking on them, that's capitalism at it's finest. One day their wages will climb to the point that this migration of jobs will stop. But then there will be some other poor Country willing to fill the gap.

Kinda off subject but I heard the other day that 40% of the World's air pollution comes from China because of all their unregulated industry.

Any one who has made any attachments and would like to share them with the rest of us please do, I want to see them. :thumbsup:

Didn't make the 4' Brinly boxblade, just modified it to fit on the front end loader.

The way it was back in 2005.


Removed the cat 0, 3 point frame, cut and drilled some angle iron and bolted it on.


Works way gooder! :thumbsup:

Looks handy.

Yep, very handy. Here are some pictures from 5 months ago.

This is my brush mover on the TORO+Loader.

It also moves cattle panels, with the short rods.

sure would like to get my father and you together.he has aforklift that he built for his toro.

 

[railbike4]

really like the loader xfaxman. my father built a forklift for his toro that is very handy .here is a few pix of my winter project. modified snow blade , gathering box for snow that i made on spring pins that are operated from in the cab. i built the cab from some old farm gate and shower curtains.lights and flashing beacon. electric heater. I'm running 4wlr tires and rims that i redrilled to fit. i have chains but i do alot sidewalks and hate leaving marks.

Sure, anytime.

Can you get some pictures of his machine?

 

[railbike4]

was really surprised how well shower curtains stretched with a Lil time and electric heat gun. I enjoy pushing snow and now that i can do it in the dark and in the cold. now just need enough snow to play....lol well I'm only 47 , I got time...lol

Looks good :thumbsup:

Glad that I don't have to deal with snow here. I just let it melt!

 

[Sodo]

I made a brushfork, then later, made five quick-release stick-rakes that pin onto the fork.

Being on the front I can stuff it far under trees and pull out a big pile of sticks.

Once I get a good pile going I remove the rakes and pick up the pile with the brushfork and dump it on the fire.

Dad is kinda timid about showing his stuff. He has so many attachments for toros and has took a new interest in old jd 210, and 212.just amazed every time i go in his shop. i know where i get the bug

Glad to see you respect his talent. As you get older you'll get more patient. Then your crafting skills will come out.

Couple days ago I got a text from my youngest Son (30). Said he wanted to build a new wood stove for his shop before next Winter. Said it would be a good Father/Son project. I've thought of nothing else since. :thumbsup:

I can piddle all day making something in my shop that I might only use a couple times a year. It's good for the Soul.

 

[railbike4]

Thanks ovrszd, We build alot of stuff together .funny thing is we argue more over the fact that he likes light as possible and i like pretty much the other way lol. But we pull it off some how.

 

[PhysAssist]

Thanks
I put it on as an experiment to make it act as a box blade. There are a couple stop pins that the tail gate hits against. I can hang it behind the stops so when I back up the tailgate acts as a blade to push stuff and it is heavy enough so that it will also hold light material like sod in the box when grading. Makes sod on road edges and in the road easy to deal with. If I swing the gate up and over so it hangs inside the stops I can collect material in the box and move it just like (almost) a box blade. I find it useful. For just grading a gravel road w/o sod in it it is just there for decoration as it adds little.

Hi Gordon,

Thanks for the follow up and pictures, I understand now.

I'm hoping to weld up a landplane or grader somewhat like yours once I get a little more practice with smaller pieces, but wasn't sure if there was a reason to add a gate like that.

After your explanation, I think I probably wouldn't since we have a decent (Gannon R/O) boxblade for the purpose of moving materials. In retrospect is there anything you would have done differently in making/ designing your grader?

Would you ever have wanted to add scarifiers to break up packed areas, or do the cutting blades do that well enough?

Thanks again,
Thomas

Scarifiers would probably be a good addition especially if the unit you make is on the light side.
My grader is 5' wide and weighs about 575 lbs including the cutting edges. If it was 200 to 300 lbs heavier it would be better. If the road is really packed hard and is bone dry (not really a good time to grade) and I am having trouble getting a deep cut I roll the grader forward a little with the top link so that all the weight is just on the front blade doubling its cutting pressure and make a couple passes that way to loosen the surface then drop it back so the skids are flat to finish. If it was heavy enough I wouldn't have to do that. However it isn't an issue if you can pick your days and grade after a rain.

I've posted these in a few other threads, but guess one more time won't hurt. First is my fence unroller. Can't stretch with it, but I use a come-a-long for that anyway... Most material came out of the scrap pile, but do have $17.50 in new steel that I used about half of it to build this + 6 hrs. work in the shop on a rainy day. Paint was left from another project + another hour or so to paint & clean up the gun.

The other is my dump carry-all. A winter time project about 10 years ago. Pretty handy for gathering rocks out of the pasture, tree limbs down, some dirt or mulch to be hauled, cleaning stalls, and adding to the compost pile, or cleaning out the road ditch, and dumping the gravel somewhere. Don't mind shoveling something on, just hate to shovel it back off...

One of the handiest things I've ever built..!!
