I'm a bit late to the game. Nice work. Silly question about the plasma cutter hose/cable couldn't you upgrade it with aftermarket version of your choice or add a wrap/sleeve to offers some protection? I know I've seen that done with tig torches and their leads.
I was thinking i may do that, i just want to make sure things are gonna work as they should first. Trying to buy buckets and accessories here in western canada is a pain in the butt, thats why i make my own stuff.
Great workmanship, When you were welding on the bucket as it was attached to the Excavator did you unhook the battery terminals or just make sure you have a nice clean grounding surface?
Thanks for watching and commenting. No i didnt unhook the battery, the metal is basically new and the ground is not far from where i was welding, so i was not concerned.
Hey Ron, I'm new to your channel, i own a similar machine and I'm trying to make my own brackets, would you be so kind to tell me the brand of that robotic arm that you used to trace and plasma cut the metal sheet? Thanks in advance, btw great videos !
Great vid I’m building a grapple for mine as I type this I also build a 32 inch snow bucket and did a brush rake as well. Them little plasma cutters work great I have the cut 50 pilot arc
Nice!, i plan to build a ripper, rake, possibly a grapple and maybe a narrow trenching bucket yet. Yeah, its surprising how good these little plasmas work! We are west of Edson. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have card board patterns for a ripper and rake and the grapple maybe I could send a copy of them to you if your interested the grapple took quite a bit of thinking to get the linkages right
Yeah, i thinks so. I was digging hard at some ice and packed snow, enough that i was dragging the excavator side ways. I think it will stand up to normal usage. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have quite similar machine...its called Kingway and its more squared but its the same weight I guess about a ton. I am also doing few attachments by myself like the hook for tree roots etc. But this bucket seems really solid!@@FabbinAdventures
@inseiin yeah, i worked it pretty hard on ice and frozen hard packed sniw and it held up great. I'll be fabbing up a ripper and rake pretty soon as we have some bushes to remove once the ground thaws.

I didn't even click the subscribe button but while watching the video it said twice that I subscribed! Automatic subscription just by watching?
Hmm, good question. You should hit the subscribe button just to be sure..lol
Thanks for watching!
Man you do nice work!
Great video, that bucket turned out really good 👍
Definitely enjoying these videos.
Thanks Mike, the bucket works great too!

Awesome job

Great video as usual Ron. You should consider selling some parts / kits. Thanks

Great video. Maybe sell the brackets or whatever they are called that you weld to the bucket and attach to the boom?
I may just do that!

Yeah you bet man, its called "Arcdroid" very simple to learn to run and works quite well.

@stevellb5403 that would be cool thanks.
It may be lightweight but it is still a reasonable tool for some gravel and ground work for levelling etc.
