In this video we make tracks for a mini skid steer loader. We have wanted to do this project for a very long time. The tracks were bought at the beginning of 2020😅 and we finally got around to it.
Building such a vehicle is very expensive and time-consuming, so we decided to divide it a bit.
The hydrostatic gearbox comes from a zero turn lawn mower.
The tracks and drive wheels are the same as those on the Kubota U10 excavator
Unfortunately, there was no other way to do the test, so we only used a drill.

[@robertsorbello7288]

Pretty cool! Hopefully the mower unit can hold up. Can't wait to see. Been working on something like that in my head for a bit. You did a nice job on it. Can't wait to see the power unit too. Thanks!

[@Hellsong89]

Transmission is always the problem when building something like this. Issue is having to buy whole working zero turn mover that least around here is 1K on it self regardless of condition and i'm almost certain that its transmission wont hold if you go off roading with it. Might hold nicely on the yard for light work like snowblower type of thing, but why would you make tracked vehicle on the yard when spiked tires or chains deliver same traction cheaper with less wear on expensive parts. Those tracks alone are really expensive.

[@bigchiefbear]

That looks amazing.very well made. I would certainly be calling on you as the master engineers. 😊

Сверху на подперающей перегородке ,тоже должны быть закреплены ролики ,чтоб резиновая гусля не стирлась ,и не тормозила ход гусли ,кроме того ролики позволят уменьшить нагрузку на двигатель ,ввиду уменьшения трения . Посмотрите на танки ,у них гусли тоже поддерживаются роликами .

[@Mancavedweller1]

Nice job, enjoyed your video. Look into seals for abrasive and dirty environments. Metal face seals is one example but there are also multi-labrynth rubber seals that have their own metal casings. Plain sealed or shielded bearings won't last long in dirt, which would be a pity for such a cool project.

[@Bunk599]

Very cool and well made...as always. Anxious for the next chapter in the story.

[@tryin2figureitout]

SUCH A GREAT BUILD. I have been wondering why I had not seen any one use a zero turn transmission for a diy tracked vehicle

[@Mad.Man.Marine]

Unfortunately they don’t have enough torque. He will find out in short order when it comes time to take a scoop of dirt that they don’t have the power required to do the job. But that part is easily changed out and you gotta start somewhere. A real orbital motor with a built in planetary is the way to go. You can get the out of places like “surplus center” and the like.

[@willieshaw2522]

@@Mad.Man.Marine I thought the same thing, although I don't think the fix is very simple. IMO it will take converting to a dedicated pump system to drive wheel motors to RELIABLY make this more than a conversation piece.

A little tip - strap the mag drill to the work there's a little slit between the magnet and the body of the drill for the strap trust me you don't want a helicopter spinning on your floor I popped all my electrics when I done it 😬

[@Nobe_Oddy]

HOLY SCHMOLY!!!!!!!! This thing is gonna be A BEAST!!!!!! WOW!!!! One thing: that small 'triangular' piece you needed to add so the underside of the track would clear the frame ( the piece @ 25:10 ) - don't you think it is going to cut into the track once you have tension on the track from it moving around?? even if you chamfer all it's edges, it WILL dig into the track when it's moving... IMHO you REALLY should change that into a wheel... yes it's more work but if you add it then you KNOW it's not going to dig into the track and slice it up from underneath where you won't easily see it... ALSO won't driving in reverse possibly catch on the small area of that triangle??? Maybe a wheel isn't the answer... MAYBE if you round the two top corners of the triangle AND a deep chamfer all around the top is all you need... 🤷‍♂ - - As I think about this more and more, and I look through the video, I'm starting to think that maybe I'm being overly 'dramatic' about it digging into/slicing the track and you've already thought this out and it will be JUST FINE... lol - YOU ARE THE MECHINICAL GENIUS, I'M JUST A COMPUTER NERD!!! LMAO!!! - ANYWAY.... GREAT WORK!!! I a=cannot WAIT to see what this transforms into... you come up the some of the most UNIQUE CREATIONS!!! And THANK YOU for taking us along for the ride!!! :)

[@Vein1986]

It will cut, for that purpose there are warable pads that are mounted on frame of track and they "ride" on top of ridges rather than on bottom, where drive sprocket and tensioner wheel rides.

Kawał fajnej roboty! Mam jednak kilka pytań. 1. Czy te napędy wytrzymają? Czy nie są za delikatne do takiej roboty? 2. Czy ten metalowy ślizg nie wytrze gąsienicy? Bo nie wiem, jak to jest rozwiązane oryginalnie. 3. Czy nie prościej byłoby zastosować silnik napędzający pompę hydrauliczną i wszystko inne napędzać silnikami hydraulicznymi z napędami włącznie?

[@bax1118]

[@imadaddinazizia2068]

very good thank you very much

[@whatsagrinder]

as usuall beautiful work. that transmission though...will be interesting to how long it lasts. the 0 turn mower has less surface area on the tires, tracks have alot of surface area, and they are heavy. if it works though, i wanna do similiar to my crosskart, except 50 to 60 mph speed, a smaller version of Ripsaw ev4.

[@MadeinPolandChannel]

I think they'll make it. The track drive wheels are smaller than the original ones, so the gearbox will be slower but stronger 😉

[@danburch9989]

Many large farm tractors use hydrostatic drive transmissons. Sized to fit the application. It should be fine.

[@equalsyearzero]

[@jazko]

You ought to put a top roller of some sort, the steel plate will carve the middle of the track really fast.

[@MadeinPolandChannel]

the tracks have forged elements that are harder than structural steel. no worries.

Amazing machine work. But that little hydrostatic unit out of a zero steer lawn mower is going to last all of 30 minutes. You should go ahead and invest in two hydraulic motors and a good 15 to 20 gal a minute tandem pump. Then you'll have a badass little skid steer

Nie żebym chciał się czepiać, ale jednakowoż "tracks" tutej to te gumianne karbowane tasiemki (gotowizna z fabryki), zaś "MAKING" dotyczy czegoś, co raczej nazywa się "bogie" (wózek jezdny gąsienicowy?). Za Ciocią Wiki: _A bogie ... (or truck in North American English) is a chassis or framework that carries a _*_wheelset, attached to a vehicle_*_ - a _*_modular subassembly of wheels and axles_* i dalej: _Bogies take various forms in various modes of transport. A bogie may ... be solid and in turn be suspended (as most _*_bogies of tracked vehicles_*_ are)_ Klikłem na widło bo se pomyśłałem "WHAA?! Gościu GĄSIENICĘ robi? No to niezły patan..." - a tu, panie, pizd... ee... "kicha", znaczy. Gąsienice ("tracks") są gotowe, ROBIMY zupełnie co innego - znaczy, "wciskanie kitu i ciemnoty na maksa, i bez krępacji". Zaś jeśli mówilibyśmy o "szerszej perspektywie", czyli poeta miał w tym wierszu na myśli "robienie 'ślizgacza' gąsienicowego" to poprawnie będzie to "Making a Tracked Skid Steer", bynajmniej ;-) PS: Niezamaco : )
