Names Jeff, new member here. Been a Bolens collector for about 25 years now, not even sure how many I now have. Started building my own implements for the garden years ago. In the last 4 years have built a FEL on a restored 1250 large frame . Backhoe for the 1886 , and just finished a super duty tandem dump trailer I pull with my restored HT20. Also built a land scraper with hydraulic ejector. I like to build everything overkill , so my stuff never breaks. I sell some of my custom built eguipment , and hire out for small jobs, just cuz its fun to go play with them! Found some goodies in the scrap yard lately, and in the planning stages of adding front assist to a 1886 I am rebuilding. But I still need more power ! So also am laying out parts to build articulated 4x4 cabover style kinda tractor/truck thing. Keeping it at 4 ft wide , 31" tires, 4x5' dump box . Just figuring now weather to power it with eaton12 pump direct to 2spd transfer case , or hydraulic motors on the diffs. Both setups have pros and cons , anybody done anything like this before ? :thumbsup:
