The train horns are a cool idea.

Nice job. That's a good looking loader.

[@theproudONE92]

[@williamnelson2942]

I really want to hear that HORN!!!!!! Maybe a how to install also. Thanks

[@strainrelief]

Awesome job!!!
What is the size of the cylinders

[@TimothysTractors]

The lift cylinders are 3x12 that came from tractor supply and the bucket tilt cylinder is 2x8 from amazon

[@strainrelief]

@@TimothysTractors Thank you

[@strainrelief]

I already ordered the cylinders
Now I need to know what size diameter hoses did you use so I can order them too

[@TimothysTractors]

@@strainrelief I used 1/4 hoses for everything. I wouldn't buy the exact ones I did since the lengths are not going to be the same but the links to almost everything I used for this specific loader are in the description.

[@strainrelief]

Thank you for all the information, I appreciate it!

[@salvenezia1817]

That looks like a little buck loader

[@TimothysTractors]

It's pretty similar!

[@anthonytravis7880]

Hey, Great looking loader I'm building one my self. Any specs on the build like material size and width. Also what hydraulic cylinder did you use hope to hear from you thank you?

[@TimothysTractors]

Hi thanks for watching! I used 11 gauge steel tubing for the loader frame and arms. I don’t remember now if it was 1.5x3 or 2x3. The cylinders and everything else are linked in the description. Hopefully that helps!

[@fredmcdowell3997]

[@TimothysTractors]

Send me an email. I can either build you one or help you get one. Thanks!
