Your approach for a powered cart is the best I've seen! Nice job. I really like how you reversed the transmission and cobbled together the controls. I'm hoping you posted detailed clips on each, checking that now. Thanks for sharing!
This thing is awesome. I have been looking at so many self powered dump carts and yours is one of the top. I am in Pennsylvania and I am looking for something for my father, my brother and my other brother who is an apartment manager. I probably won't have enough time to build one for every one before Christmas but I can get one done and give pictures to my brothers and finish the others as soon as possible. I am recovering from getting run over on my antique Harley a bit over 18 months ago so its a bit slow...
This is awesome. You could make alittle trailer that hooked onto where the driver would stand that pivots. So you can ride behind it if its too long of a walk. Like a stand behind mower
Interested in how the steering box works going from a 90 back to the front wheels. This is exactly what I'm wanting to build for my landscaping business
I do the whole firewood thing and it takes a lot out of me at my age rolling the big cuts around by hand.. this is by far the best I've seen..congrats on your idea., it's awesome.. I'm gonna try it.. I may run into some kinks here and there but trial by error ain't that part of it? Thnx man.. good job
Nice! If I attempt this, I plan to replace the steering system with heavy duty wheels on castors like you see on a zero turn. Shouldn't take much effort to get it to turn while under power. While I'm at it, I would probably install a handle similar to a tiller or walk behind zero turn so I can easily engage the drive belt without letting go of the handle.
!!!!! Wow Wiffee goin to be Happy to have this and me save alot of work Congrats on this Project Lot of Men goin to be Happy with you Could be Big Bucks in the Pocket if ya Can make them fast and Good thks again for sharin goin to give it a Go looks pretty easy to do now were talkin 5 years ago is it still workin ?
there are a lot of old lawn mowers out there !! the engines are okay but the mower decks are shot so they make great platforms for this very thing and im going to to the same thing with an old wheel horse ! its called repurpose
Well i stumbled across your video after i just built one lol. I think I'm going to have to post a video of mine on my very non active channel. I took an old John Deere LX176 and reversed it similar to yours but i left a lot of the original parts on. Used the original 14hp Kawasaki on it and used the deck lift handle as the forward and reverse for the hydrostatic trans control. Are you still using your cart 6 years later?
Hey I think I'm going to do this but with a 1995 toro walkbehind mower the deck is shot instead of firing the backhoe up all the time think this would be handy getting fire wood thanks for the video

Nice work. Thats a good idea putting the load over the drive wheels, traction should never be an issue.

Thanks for sharing your ideas and design. I'm definitely going to attempt to make one of these.

Really nice idea. Inspired me to attempt something along the same lines.

That's great. Make a platform to stand on and that would be better than anything on market.
Cool little workhorse.....like everything you done.....you can warp Cleeted snow machine tracks on your drive wheels ....helps
Sorta the idea I'm after! I've got an old rider mower that's in parts. Thanks for the video

So did you mount motor opposite of original to drive transmission forward?

Nice. How hard will it be to add a hydraulic pump on to the drive belt and some actuators for the bed
Look at you! Pretty awesome. I have desire to do exactly the same especially when you compare prices of pre-made ones.
This is epic!
Awesome! Could you do a little more of an explanation on how you did the steering set-up? And maybe a video of you using it?.
Awesome......Any plans available?
When you go to dump, do you burn your hand? Because the handle is pretty close to a hot engine if you have it running for awhile?
any directions on how to make it?? this is really cool

@RoyRickstrew how did you flip the transmission? 180? so the shift linkage is up front by the dump? I under stand all the rest,
Just twist the belt... does the same thing
Do that is an awesome work of art you done I'm thinking about doing something like that's
That’s awesome 👏🏻
Not bad. If only it had a spinner knob on the steering wheel...
do you think you have enough power to fill it up with concrete and dump it??could you put a platform on it and ride it?
Concrete is really heavy. You would have to make it real strong. But it could be done.
You need to make them and sell them.
This is awesome
This is genius! Tease, we don't get to see it in action? ☹
Awesome
Can you show your stearing in better detail I'm trying to do the same thing
ok now lets see it in ACTION
Nice 👍
would probably work even better if you just made a mini truck with a tipper
Great job there, now all you have to do is add a foot plate to the back there and then the wife can ride on it and save walking.
Can you make me one
