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

The Lodrill is the only thing almost complete.

And since the detail is on point I want to take this even further as usual

But to answer no not as of yet but I have all master patterns and or designs just trying to get an idea on what to do next.

Maybe get my Brother in law involved just for the next project along with his Black Amex and run it up Teeth

a thumb would be awesome, and so would a lo drill

Nothing runs like a deere with a cat on its back but the link belt ate both of them

Uhm... Mike, are you sure you've got the measuremeants right on that parts list? 0.288 mm seems a bit... Thin.... Think

BTW, does the new lodrill fit a 40 ton excavator like the new Liebherr R936? Would be great if it did!!
So that would be about the size of Norscot's Cat 336D.

you got a good eye Remko we have been going back and forth tweaking the size we are running 4 programs Solid works - Rhino - 3DS max _ Maya so a little snafu but it is right now. The numbers are supposed to be in inches but the program spit it out in mm

This model may fit larger models but it was designed around the 30 metric ton excavator

I vote for a big clamshell slurry wall bucket to be used with a larger duty cycle crane.

LVA Special Boom with Quick connect, This is the one I always wanted!

Is this Gd10r is referring ? Or something like this?

I think so Jacky ... My favorite was the LVA Boom and speaking of which the only way that I caught this was on Rainers site And all information provided by Beat Kohler he nailed this model and many others.

Mike, yes something like that, there is one on my Liebherr duty cycle calander this month. Much taller but you get the idea.

I'd like to see you bring back the high fairlead winch and a few other of your accessories. Still a fan of the Iron Wolf idea that you talked about "way back when" as well. Anything for dozers is always my vote. Teeth

Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years.
