Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.

Super build! I am myself a big fan of the Testa (I think) PC1250 UHD machines that appears from time to time on this forum.
One Q though, are you going to make the cab tilt able?

Ah cool! The easiest way to make it tilt-able would be to replace the lower linkage with a pair of hydraulic cylinders.

What a BEAST!!! What is its reach? hang330c wrote:Thats what I am thinking, but the problem is to find a hydraulic can fit. fairly small hydraulics I would have made my own, not that hard accually. A piece of plasticard pipe for the tube and the plastic pin part from a cotton swab for the piston. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton_swabThis is how my mate Rickard makes cylinders for the attachments he make, and they work really nice, when there is paint on they get fairly stiff.

Thankyou for your suggestion. I'm going to get some styrene rod & tube to make the small hydraulics What is its reach? <--- you mean the boom? Its from MDC Any pictures of the attachments your friend Richard made? Jacky

He hasnt made many hydraulic attachmets for me, yet, although he has made for others. This is a hydraulic slope bucket he made for a NZG Volvo EC460C. The hydraulics are made of PC and cotton swabs :D

The hydraulics are made of PC and cotton swabs :D It reaches about 87 cm, almost 3 ft. If I add the extension on, it will be over 3 ft That's really good looking bucket. Can you ask him to make me one? and other attachments?
