DIY MULTI PURPOSE FARM TRANSFORMER - WIP

grabcad

This is my little pet project for 2020 - a rough-around-the-edges creation, but it gets the job done! The idea behind it is simple: I need a versatile agricultural machine that can handle general farm tasks without taking up too much space. With an abundance of scrap steel and other parts at hand, building one from scratch seemed like a no-brainer. A small twin diesel engine will provide the power, while hydraulic pumps and motors for the wheels take care of mobility. Each attachment will be powered by either 1 hydraulic motor or 1 hydraulic cylinder. The current lineup includes: 1. Deck mower - perfect for keeping your lawn tidy 2. Flail mower - ideal for tackling thicker weeds and grasses 3. Tiller - great for breaking up soil and preparing it for planting 4. Light Duty Auger - a useful tool for moving dirt or other materials around the farm 5. Macadamia Nut Collector & De-husker - a game-changer for macadamia nut farmers The plan is to add: - A light-duty side tipper trailer - handy for hauling smaller loads - A light-duty fork lift attachment, designed to load pick-up trucks with ease - A light-duty dozer type bucket attachment - perfect for scooping up debris and other materials - A light-duty excavator attachment - great for digging holes and trenches - And finally, a trailer to cart this beast around. Big thanks go out to the GRABCAD community for some of the parts used in this project. Feel free to chime in with any comments or suggestions you may have!
