BFreaky;

How much $$ do you have tied up in materials?

Don't need to answer if you think it is too personal but was thinking of attempting a build for my kubota (much smaller than your machine)

BFreaky..
I ran across your thread late and have just finished reading the whole thing...Fantastic work. Although, I find myself wondering..What the heck were you thinking getting a degree in electrical engineering? just kidding of course..Look forward to the finished product and the video of it in action. :thumbsup:

Well, around 3000 $ ...give or take few $.

The main cause for "ee" was my great programming ability, so at first I wanted to go that way, but later figured that machines are my real passion and something I really wanna to do

Your passion obviously show's in your work...And it is evident you wont be needing a "degree" in mechanical engineering as you have that natural ability to think,see,draw and bring your idea to life....

We had PLC technology and CAD/CAM too on polytechnical school... which would have fitted you... I never was much good at it.

Well...around here they say I have a "wire" for it... . We'll see if it's gonna work

Making and mounting of stabilizers... Pictures were taken after I finished working so they are dark...sorry

You used rectangular tubing for the outriggers instead of rolled and fabricated ?
