Ride on Tracked Dumper 1.wmv

Spring 2010 I started my most toughest project. I have been using and abusing my little Kubota skidding logs, and pulling trailer loads of dirt. Problem was, I needed the Kubota to both load and pull the trailer due to the rough terrain. Solution, buy a tracked dumper. Cheapest one I found was a old rice harvester but with a 48" track length the packaging becomes difficult. At about $4000, I would still have to build a bed and blade and it would only seat 1.

The solution, build my own! Look for next progress report late June 2010.

@GatheringSticks The pump is rated at 10 GPM at 2500 PSI at 1000 RPM. Max speed 3,000 RPM. I will be connecting via double belt pully, geared down 2-1 so max RPM I will run is 1650 on the pump (3300rpm on the engine). Not sure what it will pump at that speed. Maybe 15 gpm?

wow....this is real cool project. What displacement is your hydraulic pump?

Are you going with joystick controls?
