Homemade Tractor part 1

This is the custom built tractor I made. Its has both four wheel steer and four wheel drive plus a self leveling quick attach loader. The machine is powered by a small 18hp B&S and uses a hydraulic drive system.

Thanks for all the kind comments.

I'd just like to clarify that this tractor isn't an articulated tractor like the one from cadplans.com. Most home built tractors I've seen steer by bending or "articulating" in the middle. In that style, the wheels are always fixed in the parallel position just like a trailer axle. My tractor isn't like this. Mine uses four independent steering knuckles. Plus mine uses a solid ladder type frame that can't "articulate". There is a huge difference between the two designs.

purpleheadedpython - Anyone who knows anything about hydraulics can tell who is telling the truth here. You wouldn't be able to buy the parts for this tractor for under $3200! let alone make a profit on it. Your full of shit and I called you on it. It's either that or your a complete idiot and your loosing money on each and every sale. Either way, I hope you try and prove me wrong! Prove to everyone here that this is your tractor and that you built and designed it. Good luck.

The axles are both modified Dana 30's out of a light Jeep. Both are narrowed by using only "short side" axle shafts. No special custom parts required. Plus these axles and extra parts are easy to find cheap. Just about every Wranger, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee has one under the front end.

Thanks. This tractor has an extra hydraulic circuit for a PTO function. It features quick couplers for this circuit located on the loader arm. There is enough flow and pressure available to power many different attachments. Using a low speed - high torque hydraulic motor it can power things like an auger drill or cement mixer. I could also connect an extra cylinder(s)to add things like a grapple on the bucket. Either way, all attachments are designed to mount on the loader. There is no 3pt

to the idiot that claims he did not build this tractor you should take a run over to machinebuilders . net go into the projects and plans forum and it will be on the first page , the title is Johns Homebuilt Tractor and have a look , he documented the entire build , and i followed it , and having built my own tractor to as well as having hydraulic experience you will not build something like this for $3200 with new parts and steel.

I bought one from you and the right lift arm broke after two weeks. You won't refund my money!! I have been trying to get you to fix it or refund my money since Feb.

And it sure as hell doesn't look like the one this guy built. Unless you made some major changes to the design.

One of the posts says this is documented on machinebuilers . net. I looked and couldn't find it. Perhaps I looked in the wrong place.

@1wheelpeel ya some beat to hell hydraulics

[davetileguy]

that was three months ago! but anyway what did you think? do you understand why I thought you got the plans there? they have some other stuff there as well.

I looked at the site, and it is not the same design. There is a general resemblance, but that is true for all loaders.
