@pupsmotorworks5228 Completely agree with both of You, height for a pickup is mandatory ! 1st one viewed as well. Good job Kevin, usin' what You've got. And nicely done video.
Great video! Thanks for the cost breakdown too. Puts it all into perspective for anyone who wants to try their hand at building something like that. My twin boys sat here and watched the video with me. They are getting excited about tools and tractors, they are about to be 15 years old in December. We are down in Naples finishing up the Porsche job I started back in April. We just finished the underground conduit out front today, passed the inspection, backfilled (with the excavator) and had three Sonotube footers poured this afternoon. I brought them with me this time because they are a lot better than any apprentice the company would send if I asked for help, which I usually don’t. All that aside your loader looks fantastic. I like how it can dump high enough to get in the bed of a pickup truck. I’d be interested to see what the capacity is. I’d guess it can lift plenty though, as much as you could counterweight. My boy is already wondering if he could build something like that on his tractor. I told him it wouldn’t work on his it doesn’t have a strong enough frame. But we do have a 212 Deere that does…. Maybe in the future! Thanks for sharing your creation! We love it!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Yes being able to go high enough to dump in the bed of the truck was a must. I know what you mean about the helpers. I have been lucky to be able to keep a good helper with me, because if they send me one they usually aren't very good. I hope to see you're loader project in the future.
Very impressive! I like to build stuff and I've got an old Jacobson tractor that would be perfect for a build like that. I think I have everything else I need. Good job on the build 👍
Well done. That being said you can buy am old industrial case with factory loader for around that price for that same size of tractor depending on how patient you are and where you live. Extremely useful and capable machines.
Yes when I was looking at them, there were some in that price range but they looked like they would need to be rebuilt and have more money put into them, plus they were nowhere near me. It was never about buying one anyway. I had never done anything with hydraulics before and thought this would be a way to learn. I always like to use things I can get cheaply or that I already have but I had to buy a lot for this project. At least it's new stuff that I don't have to worry about having to rebuild or have problems out of. I have on all of my video descriptions that these are not "how to" videos because sometimes what I do doesn't always turn out the first time, but I will show why it didn't work and how I change it. I learn as I go by trial and error. Thanks For Watching
@@kevinscreations4486 I'm the same way and am not a "buy it" or pay someone else to do it kinda guy. But after reviewing the costs and downfalls of building my own, I picked up a case with a bunch of extras for that price. At 50 years old it will eventually need repairs, but the onan is incredibly tough and the unit is very solid. A functioning belly lift and 3pt were kickers. I could have over built a loader but then been stuck with an inferior front axle/frame. I drove two states to get her, but worth it. Glad you like yours, that's all that matters. Well done!
Colors are close enough to get some Chiefs stickers! I like the loader lift height and such but that price is a deterent for me. I think one could be found and adapted for less. Of course that takes time to wait for the right deal/s . Nice work though,like it!
Great job on your creation but honestly you forgot to add your time. so it's actually going to be way more costly than the $2.500. that's after totally the hours it took to put it together.
Yes, you are very correct, I should have mentionedthat. If I was building one for someone else, I would definitely have to take that into consideration. It was more to me to be creative, challenging myself, and learning about something I have never worked with, like hydraulics. Thank you for watching!
The one time in the video I had it raised high there was nothing in the bucket. I had a chain hooked to it pulling the aerator so I don't know what you are referring to.
@@JustHere999dl try putting that much weight on the front of a garden tractor and see how hard it steers. You have to make short turns. I plan on going with either hydraulic steering or a have a steering setup from a golf cart i may try first. Thanks for watching!
I just found your channel and subscribed. I like tinkering on stuff to .
@GarysEagle thanks, that's what I love to do also, tinker with stuff. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Finally i get to see one that can dump in the bd of a truck. Thank you. Subscribing.
That was a must when I started this. If it wouldn't dump into my truck , it was of no use to me. Thanks for watching!

I'm Going to try to binge watch some of you're video's this weekend.
😅 yes sir
Do you have a tractor supply? Ours has all of those things
Oh I'm dumb tsc means tractor
@christopherdelisle558 yes, ours carries very little of that stuff in stock. That would have made my life much easier. Thanks for watching
Nice build.Looking into doing something similar to a zero turn. Doing my research to see which direction to take.
Very impressive! I like to build stuff and I've got an old Jacobson tractor that would be perfect for a build like that. I think I have everything else I need. Good job on the build 👍
That would be cool!

Did you use 18 or 24 volt actuators?
Thanks for commenting . Neither, It's all hydraulic. Please watch playlist for complete build.

Dangerous to drive with the bucket so high in the air.
The one time in the video I had it raised high there was nothing in the bucket. I had a chain hooked to it pulling the aerator so I don't know what you are referring to.
@@kevinscreations4486I was most concerned when pulling the trailer across the yard.
@@cliffwendy3765 All of the weight was at the bottom of the tractor and again the bucket was empty. Thanks for your concern.
Video proof Kevin don't drive so good and has bad taste in music. Good attachment though.
@JustHere999dl what's wrong with my driving? And yes, I'm not using that music anymore.
@@JustHere999dl try putting that much weight on the front of a garden tractor and see how hard it steers. You have to make short turns. I plan on going with either hydraulic steering or a have a steering setup from a golf cart i may try first. Thanks for watching!
@@kevinscreations4486 Yeah counterweight on the back would counter some of the steering problems.
@JustHere999dl yes I have added about 200 lbs since this video.
@@kevinscreations4486 water ballast weight is easier to calculate and set for a job.
cool, but loose the fuggin music...sheesh
