I have just completed my skidsteer loader.
I'm really pleased with it.
Driven by 2 XL motors, lift uses 1 M motor and tip uses 1 M motor.
It is very powerful and nicely balanced: to the rear when unloaded, and to the
front when loaded. I was able to fit the battery box nicely into the cab and is
easily removed.
Worm gears drive the boom lift axle through a gear rack in the rear of the cab.
Tip is via a shaft up the left boom to a worm and gear.
The gear arrangement is simple and effective. If I was doing it again I would
gear the motors down a little more as the lack of speed control on the
transmitter remote causes the loader to move a little jerky at the start.
It was a very quick build from a scale drawing which I had.
It is great fun for me and my five year old son.

Let me know what you think. Mervyn Tomb

I think that this is fabulous.  I am sure you and your son had a blast making
this.  It is really well made, and i do not notice any jerky control.  I bet
your son will make his own incredible creations as he grows up.

Did you get the motors off of the bulldozer?

I, too, have tried to make a skid steer; of course i do not have many correctly
colored parts.  I used pneumatics instead.
