Based on backhoe results from GrabCAD - http://grabcad.com/challenges/lifetrac-backhoe
Modifications for Fabrication
- Need to work out specifics of rotation mechanism
- Simplify boom for use of standard stock steel like the LifeTrac frame - 4x4x1/4 or x 3/8 tubing
- Design for disassembly whenever possible
- Retain design for quick attach (QA) plate with seat.
- Will need to acknowledge tractor steering from the seat - such as additional wheel control valve for LifeTrac wheeels.
- Will need to acknowledge migration to Bobcat standard quick attach plate, with universal breadboard quick attach plate for rapid prototyping of attachments - there is insufficient flexibility in QA attachment with Bobcat standard alone
