Homemade Stand on Skid loader (part 1)

The last month after are ski trip I’ve been building this stand on skid loader. Not a ton of information online but hoping to make a series of videos about this loader to help take a lot of research and questions out of the equation.

Excellent, couldn't be more interested.

Can't wait for part 2!

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Should be moving soon!

[@jimc336]

Great project. Thanks!

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Thanks so much, more videos on it in the future.

In mild steel, the recommended tapped thread depth is the thickness of the bolt, so for your 5/8" axle pillow block bolts, just tapping the 1/4" wall to 5/8" thread is less than 1/2 of the recommended thread engagement. The recommended bolt torque for even a grade 2 5/8" coarse thread bolt is 75 ft/lbs and I doubt you will get anywhere near that without pulling threads.

[@TRoutdoors2021]

For sure, I agree. worse case I will just through bolt if I have issues in the future

Fantastic!!!!! I am thinking of building a mini sit in skid loader. It may turn out to be a stand on but I was run over on my antique Harley and crushed/wrapped around a telephone pole. Having to learn how to walk again a standing machine doe not seem desirable to me.

[@TRoutdoors2021]

John, thanks. Totally worth the build. I’m glad I decided to make it stand on with a pin on seat for longer jobs

Hello, is your pump a CW or CCW rotation. I am building something similar using a 12.5 HP Brigs and Stratton vertical shaft mower engine and I am not sure what rotation pump to get. Thanks!

This is the pump I got clock wise rotation

@@TRoutdoors2021 Great, Thanks for the quick reply!

[@TRoutdoors2021]

That site I sent you has a great technical page for sizing hydraulics. It would be good to punch some numbers in so you can size what your building correctly

[@adriancho1742]

Can u share some dimensions? Tks for ur video, very informative

[@pspuria81]

please write up a build of materials as soon as you can this is a good kit

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Will do Paul. I’ll get back in to the KZbin shortly just have been super busy

[@fabioapnea]

Very nice work….I’m starting to do a very similar project. Can you write me the spec of engine, pump and motor….I’m Italian and I don’t understand when you are tell in the video….many tank’s

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Fabio, sorry I’ve gotten a lot built since this video and need to find the time for a part two for everybody. No problem engine is a 16.6hp gas, pump is 0.73 cu in DYNAMIC GPF2012S9A. And the drive motors are 9.8 cu in DANFOSS 255160A1910ABAAAP. If you do a copy and paste you should find all the info your looking for. Ended up being a very nice combination of hydraulics and the unit is extremely powerful and able to skid and turn on pavement at idle with no issues. Wait for part two and I will dive in to some of the trouble shooting I had to do so anybody that is new to hydraulics can get past simple mistakes I learned

[@fabioapnea]

@@TRoutdoors2021 many tanks this information it’s very helpful for me…! I’m waiting for the second part.

[@adriancho1742]

What is the width with wheels of the mini?

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Tires are 18x8.5x8 4x4 bolt pattern, this was a set of golf cart tires I found for cheap

[@haroldnickel3259]

I hope I'm wrong but if that is open center hydraulics, I think that only one valve/spool will work at a time. Ie if you move a valve to run a wheel motor, the other wheel or loader will not work untill you let go of the valve. When I built a loader for my little Kubota, I can lift the loader or tip the bucket but not at the same time. I have been wanting to do a project like yours for a long time. Best of luck

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Like I said I’m no expert but I believe open center allows fluid to pass through the valve when not operating but is a three position 4 way valve which should allow for more than one port being used at once

[@rudrasaigiri6615]

dear sir kindly share engine spech and pump capacity name plate

[@TRoutdoors2021]

There are pictures on my channel of the make and models of the pump and drives if you would like to research them a bit more
