Hamiltonville Farm Strikes Again!
Added 2024-05-02 01:56:19 +0000 UTCHere's a peek at something Hank Hamilton and I are cooking up. A skid steer mounted recovery winch. The video should be out after the second installment of the office build which should be up Friday.

2024-05-03 03:59:00 +0000 UTCIt's already so complicated!

2024-05-03 01:47:27 +0000 UTCThere seem to be a few out there already.

2024-05-03 01:47:11 +0000 UTCIt should be dug in. Hopefully it will no lift anything, but you never know.

2024-05-03 01:46:51 +0000 UTCNo mention their poor customer service.

2024-05-03 01:45:36 +0000 UTCIt basically does the same thing as the skidder, but with less style!

2024-05-02 23:38:57 +0000 UTCYep, I also see that attached to the logging robot. A robot deforester would be perfect for brush clearing!.

2024-05-02 23:34:14 +0000 UTCIs that a duck?

2024-05-02 20:39:22 +0000 UTCI wonder if this "contraption" can be patented ?? Seems like I've seen a few renditions out there, all basically the same, dig in front, cable over the top... it works

2024-05-02 20:34:10 +0000 UTCMake sure to calculate the tipping moment of the skid steer. Or is the blade meant to be dug in while the lifting is happening.
Mark Rages
2024-05-02 17:26:04 +0000 UTCI suspect this is owing to the lack of a nearby (like in the same house) tow company's availability...

2024-05-02 14:49:46 +0000 UTCThe pulley can swivel just like a tow truck.

2024-05-02 13:35:27 +0000 UTCCan’t wait Wes! No matter what it is it will be interesting if you’re involved. You can make any task intriguing as far as that goes.

2024-05-02 13:03:07 +0000 UTCI'm picturing this going on the front of the logging robot

2024-05-02 12:32:02 +0000 UTCI started having Battlebot flashbacks when I first saw it.Maybe graft that onto the robotic logskidder and have a full-size battlebot? What a rad project Wes!

2024-05-02 10:58:09 +0000 UTCLooks like some sort of winch system, with the angled blade, maybe for side pull applications. Limited access with the (looks like) swiveling guide for the winch rope?

2024-05-02 10:48:24 +0000 UTC1. Needs an upper jaw with sharp teeth, like an angler fish. 2. Seriously, how have you designed it to cope with pulls not directly in-line (left/right) with the fairlead?

2024-05-02 08:07:53 +0000 UTCSeems to me I've seen something similar a Heavy D Sparks channel..........

2024-05-02 02:51:52 +0000 UTCNot going to lie, I am looking at this and trying to figure out what is going on and what is being recovered. I believe this falls in to the “… the mind boggles!” category. Will be interesting to see what you come up with. ✅ 🧠
