- Finally I connected the hydraulics of the loader and was so happy about it! However, the first tests made me pretty nervous, because it turned out that I made a lot of mistakes… In general, you’d better see how it was 😉

Honestly this is a great achievement, to build a skid steer from scratch. I am impressed beyond measure.
Thanks for your service Marine SEMPER FI
Thank you for doing these! My daughter is 5 and we watch all of your newly released videos before bed. It’s so exciting when we see you’ve released an update. We look forward to watching them together. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’ve been provided with amazing gifts and it’s a blast to see them in use.
Aww, it's a great compliment. Thank you! Say hi to your daughter ;)
@@luciasworkshop my daughter is ecstatic for your message! She wanted me to send you an open invitation for a visit 🤦♂️. I told her this is odd for adults. However, there isn’t much I wouldn’t do for her. Should you and your husband ever find yourselves in the United States, we would love to have you both over.
@anthonymcnutt6755 Oh, it's so nice😊 Thank you so much for the invitation😉
I saw the video for the first time.......... I was speechless! BRAVO!
Just a tip. When you build the safety lap bar. Make it so your forearm can support your body from rocking forward and backward. That will make it a lot easier to operate smoothly. I have seen rookies look like they were operating a bucking bronco, until they learned to steady them selfs with their forearms on the safety bar.
All I can say is ... I am honestly impressed ... oustanding job!
Just wow. The fabrication shop as well as the skill and talent that went into this project ... Respect!
That's a great looking skid steer.
Great job , there will always be challenges when building things , but you figured it out , that’s awesome
I tried to imagine what your husband thought when you told him you were going to build this. Now I know his joy in seeing it thus far, he has to be so proud of you. I know he helped on the heavy things, but for us watching, this is mostly all your doing. I am simply amazed that this machine is so beautiful.
It’s understandable why it’s been a while since you posted another video. When you take-on such a big project like this, it’s hard to keep working on it, when you have other contract jobs that you need to do to pay the bills and pay for the materials you need to do the contract jobs and pay for the materials you need to work on your own project. That’s the life of a small business owner. I used to be an auto mechanic and a welder/fabricator, so I’ve been there, where you’re at. Take your time and don’t rush things. That’s when problems develop. It’s coming together nicely.
Impressive work! You looked so happy when you test drove it😊
Thank you! I was really happy😃
Hydraulic systems are so much more complex than they seem at first, this project is super impressively.
This is absolutely insane. You are incredible.
Please be careful and don't have it running indoors for long!
You won't really notice if there are too much fumes in the air until it's too late!!
A fantastic project none the less really great job. 🤩
You have no need to apologize , you're amazing !! Well done I don't think anyone on this planet wouldn't be impressed with all of what you have accomplished.
I say it every time....the beauty of your work is only exceeded by yours!
The project is really coming together now. I love the chunky tyres. Whenever I've used hydraulic machines with joysticks, my driving was jerky until my brain caught up. It was rather like learning to ride a bicycle. Looking forward to the next instalment!
Glad to see you post again. I was getting worried you had stopped doing youtube content. Great work!!
Gril you are the 8th wonder of the world. Fantastic work.
This is my all time favorite series! Seeing you test it for the first time, I thought to myself "I'd feel like a god if I made something like this". Congratulations after all this hard work!
No joke. If you could make this mostly by yourself, what exists (within reason) that you COULDNT make?
Never get disappointed when you are fabricating anything especially a skid loader! When I worked for Caterpillar they would send field follow machines out of the new models as test pieces, they wanted them ran in real world conditions by real operators. You would be amazed at the issues we would find and they had 100's of people designing and building these machines only for them to have some very simple flaws that get over looked. I think your doing an amazing job!! Never ever get discouraged, somtimes just walk away for a bit and then attack it agian! Great work!!!
Yes, you are right. Thank you so much for the support!😊😉
I suggest you use safety valves on the cylinders if you are lifting and possibly subsequently an oil cooler on the return if your tank does not have enough cooling capacity.
Also add a small pressure tap on the main lines and adjust your pressure valve correctly so as not to stall your engine.
Отличная гидравлическая система получилась - красиво! Мне нравится! Классное видео получилось! Круто Круто!!!❤❤❤
As a HEO (Heavy Equipment Operator) you will get a feel for it the more you drive it. A little bit of advice, when operating it, it's all about the feel, I find that using your fingers more than your hands, of course you have to grip it to move the skidsteer but when using the bucket, a gentle touch will make it so much easier for you down the road
Your skill sets are many and on a very high scale, now that's one cool skid loader.
Beautiful shop! Great work! Your talents are top shelf!
Your welding skills, and you are so amazing, in your work. I love watching you do your thing. The loader is so great. You are absolutely incredible.
I’m in awe of you. Such a great accomplishment and you can see how happy you are from it. So proud of you!!!
great job lucia don't forget when you put the cabin roof and roll bar on to put a swivel safety bar on in front of you for when the bar is down the skid steer moves and the hydraulics work and when you lift the bar to get in and out it stops all the hydraulics from working but so far you have done an amazing job keep on doing great work cheers from down under
Wow, Thanks for the English version!
Thank you Paul. Glad you like it :)
@@luciasworkshopOnly one thing to add, Lucia; you don't need to swear. It doesn't add anything to the video.
Great job. I'm looking forward to when you take it all apart to paint it!
Fabulous. I really feel engaged with the project when you are going through your experience and sharing these moments, Lucia. THANK YOU.
How does a girl with no formal engineering education whatsoever know how to think and create such a machine? You are uniquely gifted Lucia and a great inspiration. I salute you.
Thank you very much! Research and designing takes a lot of time, but self education is productive if you are interested in the result😉
Классный погрузчик на красивых колёсах! Ручки управления как на истребители! ЧПУ резка, сварка! Выхлопная система от Люции! Классное видео серия получилась! Мне понравилась! Круто Круто!!!
I would suggest making sure that your hydraulic lines in the cab are covered in case they burst. If you enclose the engine compartment make sure there are fans since the engine looks to be air cooled. A roof would be wise also. Good job.
I've been waiting for an update for a while, glad you were able to get it done 👍. Progress quite often comes with its setbacks, but you just mop up the oil and keep moving on. You are doing an amazing job. Be proud of your achievements and learn from the setbacks and you'll eventually get there. Looking forward to your next update.
Thank you very much ^_^
I'm impressed! Well spoken and tackling a very intimidating build. Was interesting to watch, thanks for sharing.
Интересное видео получилось! Гидравлические шланги! Крепление! Всё классно! Классный погрузчик! Классное видео получилось! Круто Круто!!!❤❤❤
Your welding and fabrication skills are impressive. Great build overall.
Congrats Lucia, on building and running ur own Skid Steer. looks COOL AS BEANS.. Husband and kids would be Proud of ur build.
Amazing job Lucia! The hydraulics are very smooth. I couldnt imagine taking on a build like that.
Thank you! 😊
That’s amazing! Great work! Everything is so neat and works perfectly.
Welds are nice, hoses are run neatly valve’s mounted nicely.
You should be very proud
I have been looking forward to this update, your work along with the presentation in English is so impressive!
Hi, a great video of your work. you are so smart, thank you for sharing❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🤗
Impressive beyond words. Well done. FYI, no cris-crossing of legs. Has to do with hand eye coordination and center of gravity. Safety first. Again, you have done such impressive work!
it is coming along nicely cant wait for next video
ha ha ha I just watched your Russian version without translation.. so funny to see your facial expressions when moving the skid steer for the first time. (from Canada)
Yes, I was very focused on the process ;)
Simply amazing. I love that you built most of the equipment that helped you fabricate the skidder. Cant wait for the first time you “break dirt” with it. Well done Lucia!
Wow wow wow. Keep tapping into the infinite universal energy of possibilities. Thank you for creating a video for me to see. I would love to make a skid steer. I am so inspired.
Great job Lucia…keep moving forward! 👍
Been waiting for this! Excellent work Lucia!!
Thanks a lot!
Never apologize for taking the time to do it right! This is a big project, with lots of parts to go wrong, some having lethal consequences. Frankly, what you have so far is impressive. I'm as eager to see what you have planned for this machine, as I am to see you finish it. 👍
Thank you very much for the support😊
What an amazing accomplishment to finally get to see all your hard work opperating smoothly. Congratulations on getting to this point. Don't worry as all newly built projects have teething problems.
From someone that built a fairly large buggie from scratch at the age of 18 a few years back, I am delighted that you are documenting this project. I am really looking forward to seeing the completed machine. I think a pink and black colour scheme and 'Lucia's Loader' on the side somewhere would go very well! I am happily open to correction on this thought from a hydraulic tech, A high-pressure relief valve or a bypass valve in the right place would stop the engine from stalling when the pressure is too much. Just be careful that the valve doesn't cause all the pressure to drop (i.e the boom dropping down if the valve were to s open and stay open)
Wow! It is really cool to build a buggie at the age of 18!👏 Thank you for the advices and the idea. I don't like pink, but I'll think the options over😉
Can't wait to see the final results
Your a ROCKSTAR! I love the fact that your capable, humble and seem to have a wholesome approach to you videos (dig the way you time laps 👍). Try not to be so hard on yourself with the hiccups but from what I can tell, your learning to roll with the punches and figure it out... You GO girl!
Long time no see you! you were missed. As always, good and clean work. Thank you Lucia
You deserve congratulations. We all learn from our mistakes. you have done amazing work, and are doing things most if not all of us only dream of doing!
I have been waiting for this episode to come along. Great to see it working and under its own power. You are an amazing fabricator and have such a great skill set, you really show people that no matter what with a little effort and passion you can achieve great things. Keep up the great work Lucia. Cant wait for the next episode.
Your fabrication skill set is talented and amazing on this project.
Yes for every fabrication there are sometimes setbacks and disappointments which is a normal thing.
Stepping away from it always helps on problem solving and looking at it again to see what has happened and to correct it.
You made a huge progress to get all the controls to work as they should on a skid steer.
Now comes all the little things like you said the cage for one.
A remote starting switch and engine speed controller to install in the cab/cage
Dont forget adding/subtracting the weights that will be needed to keep the skid steer balanced empty/fully loaded.
I had that happen to me when I removed the bucket and too much weight was on the rear of the skid steer causing to tip backwards.
Great job and cannot wait to see how the whole plan comes together and you put the skid steer to work moving some dirt around.
Great job well done, and hopefully you have inspired other girls/women that there is nothing you can tackle while getting you hands dirty and the mind working.
Very nice to see it coming together. Always a great feeling when a project starts working.
Absolutely fantastic! A wonderful job so far and cannot wait to see it finished! Shaun.
Brilliant work, bravo!
Excellent progress. Looking forward to your next video!
The wait was worth it. Excellent work.
Wow!!! Great job!!! That machine is beautiful!!
Just wonderful. Thank you for sharing your journey building this project 👍
I find this type of content is really cool, and I think you are doing a good job. You are build something new to you and stay with it until it's correct, can not ask more than that. I am happy for you to see it work. Good job!
Congratulations Lucia I’m glad to seeing the progress and your achievements in constructing the skid steer looking forward to the competition and many more of your projects in the future ❤
This has been great following this build
What a great job.I'm really impressed about your work. Can't wait to see it done
Absolutely fantastic, well done
Congratulations on such great progress. Your talents are to be appreciated.
Soooo exciting!!! Love it!!! Can't wait for the next one!
So cool. Great job so far. Can’t wait to see it finished.
Wow, that's an impressive project! I just stumbled on this and am glad I did
Terrific job! I’m so impressed with all your skills and knowledge. It must be so gratifying to be able to build something like that. Great videos, and I always look forward to the next one.
I watch lots of DIY shows on TH-cam and this is one of the most impressive things I've seen. Fantastic job!
Awesome. I haven't seen your TH-cam videos in a long time. Very much enjoy your videos. Great job on this build. I have to work with hydraulics in my job. I understand your frustration. Sometimes, things just don't work right the first time. Keep up the great work.
What an accomplishment! This was a huge project to take on - it must be so satisfying to have it work so well.
Awesome job. I like it a lot. Can't wait to see it finished and in use.
Such awesome talents you have! Great job so far.
That is so cool. Great job so far. Can’t wait to see it finished.
congrats on getting it all sorted out going to be awesome when it is done and thanks for another great video
Nicely done. I’m impressed not just because you are a woman, but it’s mostly because you stuck with this project throughout the entire build. With everything that you through, good and bad, showing bloopers and success, my heart goes out to you for an incredible set of videos from start to finish. You blew me away with this entire build. Thank you for not giving up and providing us with this impressive piece of work.
Thanks for the update. Fun to see it move 😊
This is so rad! I have loved watching this process!
Awesome Lucia, simply awesome! Great job. Please remember that you are building your own Skid-steer which is complex mechanically and hydraulically. Well done. So happy for you! Very inspiring and it makes me want to build one too!
I've been chomping at the bit for another installment on this series . YOU ARE A KEEPER ! As I'm sure your husband and kids can surely attest to . :) I love seeing a woman that can use her head . I doubt I'll ever see another man or woman that will take the MASSIVE undertaking of building a skid steer . And THEN accomplishing such a task to the high level and standards as you have . :) You HAVE to be one heck of a proud lady Lucia .
Thank you very much! ^_^
Hi Lucia
I've been checking almost daily on your 😮 progress. Wonderful job. Amazing Amazing
"I love seeing a woman that can use her head ." That sounds very much like you consider women stupid, in general. Any woman that work full time, then handles most of the household stuff and takes care of several kids will be forced to use their head quite a bit. 🙂
@@_TheDudeAbides_ Sorry to inform you, but most women are mechanically lost . If you teach you little girl a few things in the garage, like small things about various types of repair you might spark an interest in mechanical things (the way it should be), but iin the world in the past 50 years, that generally doesn't happen . Sorry to step in your coco puffs . lol
And then, a lot of mothers don't even teach them anything in the kitchen, so they might not even learn to cook . And then you have some real dilemmas . Lucia is a woman that you can see, she capitalized on those traits and turned out like a real woman AND have a great mechanical aptitude. You could probably ask her husband and get a shocker . lol :)
@@user-kh2yl6nn3l that is some mighty impressive mansplaining 👏🏻
just come across your channel thought this was super cool idea and was thinking about a homemade skid steer just last week but so much more impressed to find your a woman building it not something you come across offten at all much respect to you for it
Awesome result! Keep it up! Everything comes through trial and error, and eventually becomes experience! Your skills are great!
Well done Lucia. I'm always happy to see one of your videos pop up!
Awesome progress, well done 👍
Thank you for sharing your project with us. As far as how long it is taking. I think it has been very reasonable considering how big and complex this project is. I am looking forward to seeing it move outdoors and start moving some material. I wish I had this to help in clearing the snow in my driveway in my long Canadian winters.
Greatest DIY build I have ever seen,Fantastic Job!
I've been waiting for this moment for a long time! Well done, Lucia!
A fantastic job on this project. I hope you are very proud of it.
Your already a HUGE success in my eyes !!! WELL DONE !!!
I imagine the stress of it all must have been quite much, but it turned out really good, and I'm so impressed by this, So I can't wait to see how this ends up.
Fantastic work Lucia! You should be very proud. Don't worry about how jerky it feels until you have a few hours in the drivers seat. Your touch when driving will adapt to the controls. I have one of the original Bobcat skid steers and it is the same. Once used to it, it drives very smooth. Great work..
Outstanding craftsmanship ......what a great project and video quality.......fine job!
You should be so proud of yourself as you have done an amazing job. 👍👍
Nice job. Quite an accomplishment building a skid steer from scratch.
