Absolutely LOVE the build! An Awesome DIY build for sure. This build looks like something you would buy from a store. VERY professionally done. After watching it operate... Suggestions for upgrades / options down the road: Your front tire dips down a bit in softer material, making your stability a little bouncy with a load on, and limits your upward reach and pulling power. Increasing back to 1600-1800psi will surely help as well. But it may also just make your front wheels dig deeper and tip you farther forward. Fitting in a type of track like Mattracks, and maybe HD them up a bit, would certainly increase forward stability. But they look pretty tough as-is, and with that wider stance you wouldn't lose much in tight space maneuverability. While gaining a lot of lifting leverage by setting the stance a bit more forward, and again the wider tread would certainly increase stability. They may even increase the tightness of the turning radius depending on how they are tuned. Especially if paired with a flatter, wider surface rear tire set. It would also help keep the weight more distributed and tear up the ground underneath it less. Even mounted backwards, the mattrack treads would improve forward reach by adding 6-ish inches of flat surface in front of where the curved tire edge now sits. Some stackable weights for the back, would also help improve the ride a bit and allow for better (Safer) pick up of heavier loads. (Gravel, concrete chunks, etc) May limit run time a bit when used, but it will all depend on the job at hand. Plus it looks like this will always be operated close to a charging source if needed. Just a few thoughts about a better experience and expanded capability down the road. It CERTAINLY does good work now. But a couple design changes, a bit more testing, and its ready for primetime. Like sell this in the nearest equipment store, primetime. Electrical equipment industrialized (Forklifts for example) have an EXTREME lifespan akin to any diesel, and much easier serviceability. I'd honestly be surprised if a small equipment manufacturer didn't approach you at some point to replicate this design. Absolutely incredible work!
Thank you for the recommendation. Surely there will be upgrades down the road. Right now it's in testing mode to see what break. About the matrack, thought about it but due to the bad design of where the arm cylinders is sitting right between front and back wheel, so adding a track isn't possible unless the cylinders are moved. Certain any machine will have limitations and sometime you just need to figure out a way around it. As for manufacturing, certainly this is nothing new, so many commercial company already has electric version of these loader, they just cost a lot. :) if they look at my machine they probably will laugh. :)
@@devildestiny555 Coming from someone who bought and built the harbor freight towable trencher for 5000$ to put together with my stepdaughter, I would have bought a kit like this just as a fun project for 10,000$. It's a really cool machine. Much respect.
Really nice work. If you increase the psi back up, I would reinforce the arms at the lift cylinder pivots, as that is seeing the highest stress. Just weld some plate to the top of the arms.
This little beauty is a back saver , love it .
Awesome and impressive little machine. We all need one of those around the house. The quick disconnect really improves the versatility.

you are so tidy,tarp under the dirt....love the small spaces you get into.
Thanks.
Looks like a victory lap to me. :)
Thank you!
Wow what a great yard tool enjoy...
Thanks.
Gosh this is a great build.
Ones again thanks for the content! I can’t wait for more!
Thank you for the kind comment.
Amazing! I don't think i have the skills to pull off this build but I'm tempted to try anyway, thanks for the inspiration!
You can do it !
The best way to go about is learn as you go, there's plenty of videos. :)
Wow! It works great!!
I could use one ☝🏾. Excellent work!
Thanks, build one!
Wow that's awesome 👍🏽.
I love it! I see you putting in work!
Well done :) Great little machine for being home made! A nice little machine all around.
Thank you very much!
Nice little loader...you need to replace the front clear panel with solar lol....very cool
Looks great, thanks for sharing!
Are you happy with having all the hydraulics share the same pump? Can you operate more than one function at a time?
Yes, everything run on same pump. You can run 2 function at the same time, but it would be slower.
What are the specs on the hydraulic pump and drive motors you are using? Also are you happy with the power they have?
No info on the pump. Drive motors are 9cu 2800lbs/in at 16gpm.
@@devildestiny555 is there an rpm rating at those specs?
@@TRoutdoors2021 350rpm

Yes, did have to reinforce some. thanks
Do you like the footprint of the machine? Would you have made it longer or wider if you had it to do again?
Length is ok, but I would make the width 32-33 instead of 35". Would fit through smaller gate easier.
4 in one bucket next😁
Maybe down the road. :)
It goes totally bad if it touches the solar isn't it but it's not anyway👍
Nice video ;)
Well, yes. But they will be removed soon, hopefully go on the roof instead.
@@devildestiny555 yeah I thought so & that's really awesome when they fix in the rooftop i want to buy a big 100w Haha
Any rough ballpark on cost to build?
th-cam.com/video/p7HJO2S5LRM/w-d-xo.html
How many watts is the motor?
About 6kw.
How long you can work on one charge?
Non stop, about 2-3hours.
how do you charge it?
Using a plug-in wall charger, charge rate at 15amps.
Слышу звуки терминатора =)
Very nice! When's the next model coming out?
2023.
How much to build me one
Too much. haha, too much labor. I can sell you this one for 12k. haha.
