@@BentRZR I am curious about the 3 pin system for the lower dies. My 1st thought is that almost all of the metal is gone in 4 panels of steel on each side. I was just curious if that is tested and proven to be the strongest design for the application? When you think of it holding 880,000 lbs it makes me wonder but I see that you have inserted and welded collars inside each hole which would make it many time harder to rip out.

Very nice build. The rollers. are they home built? Details please.
@BentRZR3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Rocky. Yes, I used sch 40 4" A106 pipe. I then used 2" Cold roll steel shaft as the axle. the ID of the pipe is 4", the OD of the shaft is 2", which leaves us with a 2" gap. So I cut 1" wide strips of 1/4" plate steel the length of the 4" pipe and welded 4 of them to the 2" shaft, along the length at 90 deg intervals, then inserted the shaft into the pipe and welded it from both ends. This stiffened the rollers up enough for me to actually fold 1/2" plate steel in this little roller.

I read all the comments and replies and could not find an answer to this question. On your skidsteer mounting plate above the frame of the HoPac there seems to be a steel rib welded to the mounting plate going around the frame of the HoPac ???? Is this correct? Believing that it must be to distribute the vibrations of the HoPac more evenly on the plate frame ?? Also wondering it the HoPac is welded or bolted to the plate frame? I am thinking welded. What are the dimensions of the steel used for the "rib" surrounding the HoPac frame ??? I've been viewing this video for a couple years now and finally have everything to put one of these drivers together ! Just want to make sure I include all the features that yours has since yours seems so well thought out !!! Great tool ! Great video !!! Thanks !!! :-)

Hi John, The mounting plate was pre fitted to the Skid steer system to ensure it would fit prior to welding it to the hoe pac frame. There is a stiffener welded to the mounting bracket to keep it from flexing.

@@Cartwrightoutdoors I checked the max flow of the hoepac and compared it to the skidsteers output and pressure. Ensure you have the hoepac mounted properly! I mounted mine sideways, so the vibration didn't transfer directly to the frame. When you hook the lines up, make sure you know which way the hoepac spins and only flow that way. If you spin them in reverse, the locking bolt inside the motor will back off and you will loose all function. The rotation should be marked on the unit.
