Based on Seed Home 2 Critical Path:
Strategy
Welding
Basic parameters:
- Professional weld shops charge $60-75/hr around Missouri. That is scalable and replicable, but redundant in terms of paying overhead when we have onsite facilities.
- One can hire someone. Welders get paid $18-27 (mean, top 10%) in Missouri. This is a cost-effective route compared to hiring a fab shop, if one has their own equipment.
- Thus, with OSE design, designs can be fabricated.
- Welder search - by reference.
Weld Budget
- Tractor: time of 40 hours for LifeTrac can thus cost between $720 and $1080, as opposed to $2400 for the outsource to a fab shop. From here, take $20/hr.
- Changfa Power Cube
- Helical Piers: 7 hours for a set of piers @15 minutes each - $140 for welding.
- Pile Driver - 8 hrs - $160
- MicroTrac - 40 hours of welding - $800
- Baler - 40 hrs - $800
- Rake - 8 hrs - $160.
- Mower - 40 hrs
- Brush Hog, Microtrac - 40 hrs
- Brush Hog - LifeTrac - 40 hrs
Design
- OSE module-based design is most effective.
- Execution for CNC machines requires 3D printing, best done with D3D Pro 3 for larger prints.
- Thus, design the following things:
- Tractor - bobcat style life LifeTrac v17.10
- Diesel power cube
- 3x geardown for OSE Universal Rotor with pile-driving attachment. Geardown can also be used for tractor drive.
- P2 pile - up to 10'
- Microtrac - with mower, tiller, small round baler, rake, and cutter. Decrease track width possibly to 8" on both LifeTrac and MicroTrac.
- Mower - Rotary Disk Mower.
- Rake -
- Baler - simple
- Brushhog
