Nice work Dany, both the front loader and back hoe work very well. Maybe a little extra weight on the front is needed to keep it down when using the back hoe though.. It's good to see another one of your cool builds :-)
I love what you have done and I would like to build my own on a Cub Cadet 100. was there a place that you were able to find the plans? What type of pump? Was it difficult to steer the tractor with added weight in the bucket? Thank You Aaron
+Aaron Nel sorry is no pencil construction (without plans) the pump is 4 gmp @3000 rpm look my facebook album i have a lot of pictures under construction album cub cadet 149 and cub cadet 1450. the steering is hard when turn if you have no counterweight. i don't know the pound i add but i need to rebuild front axle more strong.
What size hydraulic pump did you use? I am concerned with loader cycle times and it looks like yours are exactly what I'm looking for on my cub cadet 145, yes I made a 125 have a 14hp engine. I see you said 5gpm but I still don't believe it's that quick like that
Dany Bouchard what pressure are you running? What kind of lift capacity are you getting? I'm planning on using 2" cylinders and possibly a 12gpm pump @1500psi
i running 2000 psi and is over at need for work. if you install another hydraulic equipment with one cylinder i think is too fast for running accessories is better to reduce cylinder for keep good speed/hp for another equipment.
