...Have you done any costing for this project with a view to knocking them out for sale?
No, you have to build it by your self! ;)

Everything together would be ~350Euro plus work...


...by fitting an hydraulic ram in place of the top link?
...
Maybe you remember that there were three cylinders on the bench in the picture with the hydraulic stuff. :D

Cabu, buddy that looks like a great beginning for you. Because I know you'll upgrade it. I will caution you from making the tolerances to tight though. It needs some flex if you will to follow the terrain well. So far you have one mean looking tractor!! Good work my friend.

So do you find the cost of doing this compared to building/buying a FEL worth it?

Nice job. We all now see an example of the quality of work so typical of German craftsmen. We could use some of that over here in the USA. And you did it with not the largest of machines also.

Yes, it is worth it. It only cost me 350€ (400US$) and it was a great experiance.
And until now it is working verry well.

Actually, I am not a craftsman in mechanics. I am in electronics and have an German engineer degree in biomedical technic. But when you have some tools, I guess you lern how to use them... :D

Holy Batman.... what a resurrection of an old thread... but soooooo glad you did. GREAT STUFF.

PS- Cabu we might have a tiny bit in common. Have a background in Biomechanics myself. That and I've got a toss up rolling around in my head between a FEL and a front 3pt
