Earth Mover my neighbor built

[sandman2234]

Even if no plans are available, since some people have fab skills with no drawing abilities, is there a chance of getting more detailed pictures?
The exact dimensions can be modified to fit each persons tractor, so as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Any chance on getting a few more thousand words on it???

My neighbor is out of town right now BUT I've sent him an e-mail and hope to get a reply tonight. I don't think he has any drawn plans but not sure.

Hey Bob how about posting a picture of the pan that you borrowed for comparison.

Your wish is my command PR!

Note to pan designers: When the blade bites into the soil, the tires compress and sometimes cause a "megabite", bogging even a big tractor. If tires were solid rubber or perhaps 6 ply and water filled, the cut would be much more uniform.

Bob thanks for the trouble of posting those great pictures. I have copied them into my project file for later reference.

I talked to the neighbor and he said he just built it from pictures of another scraper......with some modifications.
Good luck gentlemen...start your welders.

It has 2 large cylinders, 1 on each side. They are located high up, but are quite visible in the picture. 1 of them started leaking, and I had to pull it off to rework it. It was quite heavy... I bet it weighs 75 pounds.

Looks like a good setup to me.
