Homemade excavator - Fodere

[@henryzabel1746]

Excellent build ! Any homesteader would love to have that machine . The detail work and planning show a man with an engineering / mechanical mind . Keep up the good work .

[@jimthvac100]

That is probably the nicest homemade excavator I have seen.

It's already been said, but I reiterate... Not only are your skills as a designer, fabricator and builder beyond reproach, but your operating skills are far and above many others! It's a pleasure watching how smooth your operating skills are. Like an extension of your body!! Well done sir, well done!

[@bobhallbauer5445]

by far the best design yet for a homemade excavator. very impressed.

[@bb261998]

Really great job on the build and thanks for taking the time to upload the video of your creation! I've never seen a commercially bucket with a rotation feature like you designed. There are many buckets with tilt only but not like this, looks really handy for smaller jobs around the farm and work where you don't want to tear up the ground too much moving the machine around to get in the right position.

[@Sokrates66]

Well, its very common feature here in Sweden to have a rototilt, almost every excavator have one. Lots of manufactures sells them, but expensive.

[@thebluecollarwelder]

One of the coolest machines I've seen love the bucket that can swivel and tilt. Awesome video

[@sawman209]

I was wanting to make my own excavator for quite some time. Thanks for sharing this amazing machine with everyone!

[@mikerichardson2510]

You know I see some of these comments about you and your build! And they seem rude! But I've got to say this is one bad ass build! I love working with steel and making someone that someone tells me that it can't be done! Good luck and keep building!

[@phillipephraim1828]

[@TheMrFinneth]

I was confused by the backwards steering then I realized you were technically driving in reverse. This machine is impressive!! Nice work!

[@rodx5571]

no he wasnt in reverse, The excavator appears to be rear steer, The reason i say this is because the pusher blade is always on front, the steering is usually either rear steer, or articulated in the center, the wheels cant turn behind the bucket or when pushing you can lose traction or ability to push. It is set up mainly like a forklift. Very cool though.

[@donkmeister]

@@rodx5571 He was in reverse... you make a good point about the dozer blade during use but there are three things that show this is front steer - 1) the tow ball is affixed to the dozer blade, and you don't push a trailer, 2) the scenes where he drives up to the job, the dozer blade is at the rear 3) the rack is fitted as a front-steer vehicle (hence when he turns the wheel to the right when facing over the dozer blade, the vehicle turns left). When you can spin the superstructure by 360 degrees then front/rear steer become a little arbitrary, however it looks like he has built this so he can trundle out to the task as if it were a little car, even towing a trailer, but once he gets there he works with the blade at the rear for the reason you mentioned, and also to give a bit more stability (the central pivot is biased towards the front of the chassis).

[@ccmcasey2649]

That is awesome! I love how the bucket can swivel all the way around, absolutely amazing piece of machinery! Excellent work!

[@RobertKrakow1965]

Super Maszyna! O kilku lat oglądam te filmy i mam nadzieję, że ruszę z modyfikacją swojego sprzętu. Masz niesamowity umysł, wyobraźnię, pomysłowość i nieprawdopodobne umiejętności konstruktora. Oczywiście jako operator maszyny jesteś też świetny. Po prostu rewelacja !!!

[@curtnicholson7771]

I don't know what you do for a living but if your not a mechanical engineer I wouldn't be able to even make a guess at what you do actually do. You are a very very talented and knowledgable person. You have built an outstanding machine with the most flexibility in movement and control of the bucket. I don't think that I would go on to manufacture these as you would have to develop rollover protection for it and carry a deep insurance liability policy. But if I were you I would patent if possible and license out sell rights to the design for the control of your bucket movement techknowledgy! Well done my man WELL DONE!

[@PiefacePete46]

What a really practical and useful machine. If it was an more flexible, you could brush your teeth with it! :o) Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.

[@mixercrafts5138]

for the true, this is a transformer, do you kow the film, the same one =)

[@3Sphere]

WoW, this is magnificent! And the turning bucket.... I want one! This is exactly what I need on my homestead. I sure wish you had plans. I would build this almost exactly like you have. You probably built it from your head. I'm not quite skilled enough to do that... yet. But wow, I sure wish you sold plans...

[@ScoutCrafter]

The design is flawless, the rotating bucket is amazing and his operating skills are fantastic. John Deere, Kubota, Massey Ferguson or some other Tractor company should buy this gentleman's design and mass produce this wonderful machine... Outstanding! 😃👍

Why? They will just charge 100x what it cost for a DIYer to make. Make some plans.... kits..... and sell them.

[@RustyCarnahan]

The rotating "Twist-a-wrist" bucket has been around for many years. I think maybe the one on this machine is store-bought as well.

[@shawnr.7025]

Ok I'm impressed with that articulating bucket. Excellent

[@George-jy7op]

Impressive dude. Nice craftsmanship and all, looks well designed too. Curious about the lack of stabilizers and a toothed bucket but, I guess you built it for your needs and you don't needs them. Really like the swivel head bucket, as an equipment operator I can tell you it certainly eliminates the need for re positioning. You make the operation of it look like you're wearing a glove, smooth and clean operation. Nice job.

This one is best mini-excavator that there is. Sadly this is not commercially produced, as that would have so much demand for city officials and all kind construction companies. The boom length and bucket reach is great, and the bucket hydraulic head is amazingly well designed. Very good speed, in exchange for the control accuracy. It is wheeled, that makes it suitable for cities and other similar locations. If someone would start produce these, even in 5-6 per year, it could be good small business.

[@smokin411]

I'm super impressed with how well a project like this turned out. Especially in just a year?! It looks very clean and well designed. I'm a Mechanical Design Engineer so I know a little bit about how much thought and effort went into this machine. You are obviously a master in this area. You must be an engineer or professional in a related discipline? Congrats on bringing it all together. Thing of beauty!

[@1Howdy1]

Yeah, his tenacity must be unbelievable. It's not that he just got it running, but tuned and detailed it, too. I can tell he's spent a little time around excavators.

[@nicolasdaigle9374]

Hi is there any chance you could provide me with more info on the build ? Im studying to be a heavy equipment mechanic so your build is really interesting how did you route the hoses or what kind of rotary union did you use to have three functions like the tire rotation, steering, and blade movement ? Thanks and again very nice unit !

This is super nice. Please explain how excavators can turn and not tangle their hoses up. like you have hoses running to the base drive and steer motors. It just seems that the constant twisting would tangle and wad up those hoses.

The hydraulic fluid goes thru a rotary union "swivel" in this case 8 channels + electrical to get all functions..

All that work and it has very little digging force. I don't think this looks very safe - even on flat ground. You, sir, need to consider side outriggers for stability. But, it is amazing a homeowner can build something that actually fuctions. Oh and at 2:06 you demonstrate the bucket's ability to flip around. That's inventive!
