Swivel Seat, Hydraulic Cylinder Mounts & Stuff - 6x6 Forwarder Ep.10

Building a 6x6 mini-forwarder. In this video I'm finishing steering cylinder mounts, fabricating swivel seat mount, fully welding the rear half of the center pivot and starting mocking up the cab. Why build a forwarder? As a small forest owner I spend a lot of time maintaining the forest by hand (bush cutter, chainsaw etc). Using this forwarder also as a harvester in the future will reduce the work load tremendously. Not to mention maneuvering between the trees will get much easier with a purpose built vehicle. I still use my homemade 4x4 UTV but a combination of UTV and the timber trailer is a bit bulky and awkward in the tight corners and while reversing into tight spots. So there you go - a mini forwarder build.

Nice doohickey!

[@Sergey_Gudov]

Браво! "Экономисты-проектировщики" сожрали ба тебя ))) Проект явно с очень больщим запасом по прочности и грузоподъёмности, но зато отработает до полного, точнее - вечно! Удачи во всех Проектах!

[@wernerbrokmann5761]

Super wie immer

[@mawe42]

I hope that seat bearing is strong enough for the task! 😂

[@Ilia_K.]

Дядя, ты крут!

[@adesouza9352]

Very good

[@systeemiyoutube]

Couple things, I believe you should lift seating position 20-30cm higher. You get couple benefits, you get more leg space and you get better view to outside and bed.

[@DeMiAnD92]

What kind of engine do you gonna use for this project?
And also, really nice work! Following you and this project with great happiness!

[@ОлександрВовк-х2е]

Вподобайка.

[@Amine-z3e1g]

18:30 en coulissant le siège vers le max le risque de rupture des supports est grand

[@lennonmurdoch3275]

You should offset the seat to one side

[@rustymaxwell1725]

What are you going to use to drive it?

[@MrQuietscheDUCK]

hey donn why do you cut the flatbarpeaces al by hand ond not with the Plasmacutter? It´s much easier an a little bit faster.

[@andrusuts945]

☕hoidja oleks võinud ka kohe istme külge installida😃✌️

[@tadeuszwesolowski6730]

Czy piasta pod mocowanie siedzenia pochodzi od Volvo?
