so since my last video alot of the viewers have been
asking a lot about this a homemade mini excavator of
mine and kinda wondering what the capabilities of it are, so I thought
now would be a good time to show you some things I can do with it
how much weight you can lift how it diggs etc.
there is another video on showing a more in-depth overview
but a general description of it is that it's powered by a six and a half horsepower
motor running a hydraulic pump
it has a total love five different rams operating all the different pivots
and curls on the bucket and also running a four spool hydraulic valve
so I'm gonna power it up here and kinda show you some other things that I can do
with it
how it can crawl over some obstacles, pick up some rocks
and the just give me a general idea of why I built in what I do with it
these are a couple of the other buckets that I've made for the excavator
first one here is a trenching style banana bucket
it's shaped so clay doesn't get stuck in it very easily
and it's got about a six inch cut so wanted to bury a cable or something its thin enough
I just pull the pins out of the bucket and change it over
the second one i made here is a rock bucket
so if i'm digging in gravel I just wanna save just the smaller rocks anything over an
inch
if i'm doing some gardening and landscaping stuff I can sift it out with
the back of this one. This is just made out of rebar
that i bent and welded. so can just pick the bucket up and
shake it and all that's left is the rock all the sand falls out
basically endless the kind of buckets you can build for it
so I basically have the three, the one thats on it, and then these two
thats what i work with
