  • Finally I have my homemade articulating dump truck going again. I pair it with my Rippa 319 Mini excavator and itโ€™s a perfect match. My dump truck has been out of commission for the past few years due to broken rear CV joints. This video covers the repairs along with using the 420cc predator dump truck with my Chinese mini Excavator.

    G'day Mike, good to see this little truck back up and running. I know copped a bit of flack when building it, but watching this clip of it articulating and climbing over obstacles while carrying small loads must silence most of those armchair engineers. It really is an amazing little truck you fabricated from scratch, and I loved those build series too.

    Oh yeah, mountain goat and rippa vid in one! Excellent stuff.
    On the axles.. if they break again I would suggest taking them off the dumper and preheat them before TIG welding them. After welding wrap them in some rockwool/sheetrock and let them cool down slowly. Should hold a bit better. As always thanks for sharing. Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark

    You might consider backing the articulated dump bed under the edge of the log splitter table, then the splitter will push the firewood into the bed directly

    If you got a hydraulic auger coming you could investigate whether it is possible to maybe switch bits on it. If so you could maybe build a log splitting screw for it and use it to split the bigger pieces directly with your excavator.
    Or maybe modify your splitter with splitting cross, so you can directly split bigger pieces into more than one and add a remote so you can trigger it from your excavator. Probably saves you a lot of time getting on and off
