Homemade Stand on Skid Loader (Part 5)

[@codyswilley]

Older video i know. But if you want some good tires as far as traction but not tearing up the lawn real bad. You should get a set of 22x11x8 square knobbies. They are amazing. They come out factory on hinda 185's and 200's. Hell i think even the 200's as well. I have about 7 hinda 3 wheelers. Thats the only tire i run. I even have them on all my kawnmowers lol. Anyway that miniskir is awesome buddy. Great job

[@seangrowsthings7396]

Awesome I’m definitely building one to transport mulch after seeing your frame and design

[@donnykiofetzis5775]

the best and neatest mini loader I have seen on KZbin well done!

[@burgingarage]

Awesome build!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Thanks!

[@kennyshaw1170]

On my skid steer I have the chevron pattern tires. An I think I would like less aggressive ones like yours. You should try dropping your psi to 5. It helped me with traction. Let me know if that works. I was looking at that tread pattern for mine.

[@protovault3931]

So funny how the clip opens with you harassing your dog with it after all the detailed hard work that went Into it !!! This build has encouraged me to re enroll in the mechatronics program and take hydraulics!!! I plan to use my machine shop and 3d scanning to incorporate some wild stuff. You should look into the newly released 3d scanners, they are a LIFESAVER for reverse engineering and product design. I've got some projects with the different models on my channel check em out! You'll likely want one 🤣

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Tonka my dog loves anything with an engine 😂 defiantly fell in love with hydraulics after this project. I will defiantly have to check that out!

[@frenchonion4595]

Im thinking about getting into mechatronics. With everything continually becoming more automized i think it would be a decent career path

[@captainchippy8559]

nice build

[@KarasCyborg]

Impressive. Those Bobcat Advantage Videos which describe how their machines are engineered might be of inspiration to you. I think a 25 hp would be minimum for productivity. The pushing power of a tracked machine is superior, but it tears up the ground with the wakes it leaves when turning. You might need some more gnarly tires for better traction. Tires do soften the ride a bit.

[@seangrowsthings7396]

Thank you for the comment about Bobcat Advantage. I’m building one solely for spreading mulch those videos answered some of my questions.

Looks like you'v been busy! Well done,looks great and performs.Would you be able to shoot a short clip just going over the specs,dimensions and some thoughts,maybe like you would have done something difrently and stuff? Anyways the loader has turned really nice.

[@TRoutdoors2021]

I can do that. I’d defiantly like to make a video of the specific parts I used and where I got them cost, and problems I ran in to for the build and try to cover things for somebody wanting to build something similar.

Nice job! Just wondering... does the dirt affect the open chain?

[@chaddiy3512]

Hello, I just want to echo the comments of others that it would be a huge help if you did a video with a full parts list and dimensions of this build. It looks great and a lot of us are interested in building something similar. Thank!

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Sounds good, I hope that will be my next video for everybody. I’ve also seen the interest from people wanting this information also. I will try and get all the notes and information I have together to make a video.

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Hopefully in a couple weeks I hope. Been very busy.

[@terrylutke]

An approach I used was right/left Hydro-gear zero turn units to power ground drives with a small aux hydro pump for arms and bucket. The zero turn units are smooth and 100% self contained. Surplus center often sells these. They require a vertical shaft engine of course.

[@dougkelly8956]

I've looked at those units. Presumably you used 2 and reversed the linkages? or just a single with idler wheels on one axle?

[@terrylutke]

@@dougkelly89562 units with a #60 chain drive to power the 'dead' wheels. I used the ZT residential series hydros and worked them hard in dirt, eventually one side was noticeably weaker than the other. The ZT's were sort've throw a-ways I think. A better choice would've been 3400 series commercial hydros. Another issue is that the skid had about 10mph max ground travel with 16" tall wheels, which can be good but it also could've been chain geared slower for more dirt grading push. It had 500lb+ draw bar pull, which seemed like a lot of push for something so small.

Nice build! Won't the motor spools eliminate the breaking action, as in roll down hills?

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Correct might not be ideal in hilly terrain working but I feel like it will fit my needs perfect

[@mikeidontthinkso7661]

I love the mini skid loader. Was wondering if you had a chance to do the vid on parts list and thinks you would do different. I need something similar to remove large combine tires off a trailer (less than 30" high) I think this would work perfect but what is the weight capacity? Looking forward to seeing more.

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Awesome, yeah it’s on the list for future videos just been a pretty busy lately. I did post pictures on my channel of the pumps and drives. I think it can lift about 650-7 with me on the back and no extra weight I have yet to max it out but I feel like there’s nothing stopping it . about 450 if I wanted to step off the machine

[@mikeidontthinkso7661]

@@TRoutdoors2021 Thats awsome. I need to hit just about 1000k pounds but only lift it about 2 inches to get it off the trailer. So a little extra weight for a counter balance and thinks may work perfect. Good luck in the next vid can not wait to see it.

[@hans2637]

Looking very good, do you have an idea how much it cost you to build it?

[@TRoutdoors2021]

I think about 3100. I will end up doing another video I think about parts, prices, and measurements

[@AtomTechnics]

Great tech! There are two exits for attachments on the boom, did not notice the third exit, is it somewhere else?

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Just two exits for attachments, no third or 4th exits thought about it for something out the back

[@yamguy33]

nice exciter 2 u got!

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Thanks!

[@colemoss2608]

how much did it cost you to build this? i’m thinking about building either one of these or a mini dumper type thing

[@bobvincent4841]

I bet you'd have less jerkiness in your drive control and much more power, if you would make the four axle sprocket larger in diameter.

[@TRoutdoors2021]

That’s the next plan for sure I believe there 13 tooth on the axles and i have room for 20 or 21

[@terrylutke]

Obviously aggressive tires will make the machine more useful. I'd begin by talking to the Surplus Center hydro tech guy about damping the drive controls, they have some knowledge. Danfos might be helpful as well.

[@TRoutdoors2021]

When I get back around to fine tuning things I will work on the valve work for sure. I think it would be to much effort now to completely switch drives and configuration

[@terrylutke]

@@TRoutdoors2021 Of course, you have a nice working machine, there's no point in changing things. I'm suggesting that new builders might want to look into Z-drives as an option compared to drive motors, motor controls, big oil reservoir and hoses. Hydro-gear Z drives are quite easy to work with and very reliable.

[@mbblastingdigging5381]

Impressive build 😁 How does the 5spool valve work when driving. Can you use more than 1 function at a time. Does it shut the flow to 2,3,4,5 if u use 1 at full opening ? Noobie in hydraulics

[@TRoutdoors2021]

It does pretty well you have to be good at controlling it for sure but you can use both the drive motors and another option if you wish. I wish I would have gotten a bit better valve body that I could put motor spools in for the drives and left the other 3 load holding but you get used to it after a while

[@mbblastingdigging5381]

@@TRoutdoors2021 Awesome. I am building one similar myself, and i am waiting for the hydraulics to show up in the mail, and i was just curious if it worked as planned as it seems like we do share about everything the same, except the cylinders 😂 Thanks for the fast reply 👍💪

[@lynnecrocker5366]

what Hp engine did you use, id be running about 5gpm flow at 1500psi with 8Hp looks about the same size?

[@TRoutdoors2021]

I’m running the newer predator 15.9 .73cu in pump 2500psi ish

[@junkman6261]

Maybe add some homemade tracks to help with that traction.

[@TRoutdoors2021]

Yeah, thinking chains or different tires in the future

[@Joe-rg3vx]

Yes definitely I noticed it has power but the tires are spinning. You put better traction and that would give it the bite it needs to go into that pile of dirt and more.

[@mikehammond8856]

What size hydraulic pump and drive motors and what size was your 3 cylinders

[@padergleenan6790]

Did you get any where with the specs /model number, of the drive motors and hydraulic pump motors as i need to start a similar project and this info would be a great help?

[@TRoutdoors2021]

I haven’t yet. I did post pictures on my community tab with more build pictures and model/serial numbers for pumps and motors

[@padergleenan6790]

Hi, i see you were in conversation with gordonr on my tractor forum about his ramrod copy. I see he used 18.7cu in(875nm of torque) motors and a 12gal/min pump and yours is 9.8cu in(370nm of torque) with 10gal/min pump - that seems to be a big difference(although he did say his was over kill)- do you find yours lacking torque? If so, i may find a motor with a torque figure in the middle of the two. Apart from the motor valves did you find anything else you would change?? Sorry for all the questions!!

[@mzllawncare]

Nice work but you should of put in it more powerful engine I

[@TRoutdoors2021]

It’s got plenty of power I think just need to change the gearing for more torque coming out of the hydraulic motors. Plus it moves a bit fast for me
