After looking around to buy a tree shear dual cylinder cuts for skidsteer. 16" - 20" cuts I've decided to look into building n making my own after several companies n manafacture want 9 thousand n up for them shears.
I know the blades are A.R. 400 but was wondering the frame n body itself can it be mild steel or have to be specific stuff also??
Plan is using 1/2" thick plates for the frame n cylinder mounts on outside and 4 inch thick for jaws bolted to blades and rod end of cylinder. Will be using 5 inch bore 10 inch stroke 3 inch rod cylinder or maybe bigger cylinder.
2"×4"×1/4" for frame to the grapple with expand metal for guard also putting a sprayer system on it
I was gonna buy the blades and make the jaws bolted pattern with the blades because I know drilling throu AR 400 is literally impossible. I'm looking into buying the pins n bushing from caterpillar or john deere n use them scince there's not a good reliable machine shop near me.
