เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 5 ธ.ค. 2017
Vermont Rocky Meadow Farm; is about building a homestead and organic market garden from scratch. When we started this journey our land was fully wooded except for a small 3 acre strip of shrubby, rocky power line right of way. Watch and share in our adventure as we carve a sustainable farmstead out of these Vermont Hills!

The boom seems somewhat unnecessary especially since you have a tractor with a loader to lift things.
That is true in some cases, but the tractor is not always available.
We are getting a good start on improving our road to the cabin. The culvert is in and soon we will be hauling in some stone!
I am curious to know. Do you still have any of the busses from your other TH-cam channel?
Yes, we still have all the busses, we want to get back to them sometime.
Place looks good. How’s the driveway during Vermud season? Lol
LOL We had Vermud season all winter long ! The drive way was a mess come spring, we used the tractor and smoothed it out best we could. We have been bringing in stone this summer a little at a time.
The fact that you can't dump the max load is a deal breaker
When you say I don't need no skool...
Gald to see someone else appreciates slate! Ive been redoing my slate roof. I have some videos on my other channel if youd like to take a look. th-cam.com/video/XqLokefX2Nc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lKth8k4tLobk-SF-
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked it!
True Vt home with a slate roof. Nice.
Thank you. In the next video we are going to show how to install the slate.
Looking good!
Thanks!
Do you think a regular lawn tractor will be able to pull it around on flat land?
I think so, but a lot will depend on the size of your lawn tractor. An 18 or 20 horse should do, but 10 to 15 might struggle. The trailer comes with a ball hitch so you might have to convert it if your lawn tractor has no provisions to add a hitch ball. Depending on what you are filling the trailer with, you could over load it easily for a lawn tractor as it is really designed for an ATV.
I just got one of these today. It has been fixed/modified a few times. The gear shaft is super loose even worse than yours. I think with the belt and gas motor, your new shaft will get worn quickly. I got it when I picked up some old electric wheel chairs. They have 24 volt motors on each wheel and a 18:1 gear reduction, so they are almost perfect to run the mixer, at 12v it is 100rpm, 200rpm at 24v, the bucket gear is 10:1, so 10-20 rpm is good, and now you can run it on a 12v battery, no motor noise, and the wheelchair gears have bearings to correct the bucket gear slop. Anyways, nicely done, great to see videos like this.
Sounds like you got the makings of a good set up there, good luck with your project!
Going to be a beautiful home. Is it going to be solar or line power?
Thank you. We are planning on solar.

Very clever way to install the ridge beam. Levers are amazing
They sure are, thanks Jo.
They were made to run a much slower motor, if you made a second axle with a reduction in the pulleys it will run at the correct speed for the right revs
Good job not easy though but will be worth it in end. You two work well together.
As long as she remembers who the boss is we get along just fine! LOL
Looks like a great piece of equipment but what a pain in the rectal extremity to get it assembled. You should have read the disclaimer "Assembly required".
It gets easier the more you do it.
I finally got to get see another video don't know what you tube doing , nice job
It looked real sturdy. By now the roof is probably up and dryer in. Your a man of many talents. 👍
Thank you Andrew! Yes the roof is on and we are dried in but I am still working on installing the finished roofing covering.
Do you plan to move here permanently or will this location be a secondary place to escape to? I have enjoyed following along. Mike
Plans are to move here permanently and live in this cabin while we build our house.
Did u build it ? Looks real professional. Need more craftsmanship like that . If so what size it the pipe ?
Yes my son and I built it. If I remember correctly we used 1.75 inch pipe. You can watch the build videos in our playlist.
Mike love watching you Beth and Nik getting it done! Be Safe!
Thanks Mike, Nice to hear from you, glad you enjoy the videos.
I have this trailer. When installing the tub, you simply connect the winch to the front ring, and lift the front about 1 foot then slide it into position, then lower the front with the winch. The boom extends far enough back for this
Thanks, next time we need to do this I will give that a try.
Look like some planning can make it safer, an one person job boat winch might help
Hard workers great job
Thanks!
you guys are awesome I put it at 1.5 and you moved at normal speed ...just kidding enjoy
Super job réal professionnels
Thank you!
I bought this trailer straight from the manufacturer in china. $830 plus $30 for electric winch. shipping to my door was $1279. Allmost ordered 2 as shipping would only add like $200 to the total. just couldn't afford 2 . love this trailer for my atv
Jacqueline, how did you go about ordering straight from the manufacturer?
What was website where you ordered straight of manufacturer?
It's looking good. 😁 To see the progress. Hard workers
Thanks, still got a long ways to go!
Seems like that saw would lean over past 90 degrees from all that weight being held up from one side. Wonder if blade is offset or can be adjusted for that tilt
It will cut at 90 degrees as long as there is nothing under the cant tilting it. Yes it has adjustments, as long as it's cutting good I don't mess with um!
For a moment I thought y’all were going to put the chain to the rear lift on the tractor, pull forward and make the arm rotate down lol. I’ve seen versions of the front end but perhaps not the back end. Also why not just use a small chain hoist at the end? What if you’re working by yourself and don’t have enough weight to get it down 😂
Nothing to rust up, break or malfunction. We don't log alone. But I have to admit a little ATV winch on the back sounds good sometimes.
Great job
I'm still glad that jobs done!
A lot work can't wait to see everything produce
We haven't had much time for the garden since we started building the cabin.
You guys r pretty handy to have around
Yea if its rusty and worn out we can keep it going.
Bertha is pretty handy to have around
Sure comes in handy when we need some muscle!
You have done a lot of work it's looking nice
Thanks, it sure has been a lot of work.
Beautiful
I am getting excited, I can't wait to see finished.
Your not the only one!
The machine is amazing. You guys r hard workers.
Your log hauler is awesome!! It's what I need.
Thanks we made it ourselves. We have two videos on its construction I think they are in the playlist.
Great detail of your design, as well as inspiration for when I get to work on mine. I'll most likely pull around with a garden tractor... though I like the thought you had not being ideal for your hitch and I'm thinking regarding maybe considering more adjustment for the range of what might tow.
Just going off memory, I think Sears dropped the name "Roebuck" about 1966, So for a product to last over 55 years is amazing. I've had mine for over 35 years, I bought it used from my brother in law and he had it for over ten years, and he got it used. I would guess I have poured over 2000 80bs bags using this mixer. I have replaced the electric motor, drive shaft, tires and belt. One more note, on the main gear the one around the mixing drum and drive, don't grease, use a dry lube like graphite. Any sand /concrete that gets mixed with the grease will cause more wear than if you didn't use anything. Also grease the two fittings after each use to remove any water that might get into the bushing bearings.
Yes these are wonderful mixers, no comparison to what you can buy today. Thanks for the lubrication tips!
you could have used brass shim stock to take up the small slack on the new shaft. I have the same mixer and took my drive shaft to a machine shop to get a new shaft made. He thought the shaft was pressed on and when he put it in the press it off to remove he broke the gear in two halves. He called me to tell me and I thought he was kidding me. I told him it was a very old mixer and I wouldn't be able to buy another gear, so he welded it back and it has been working ever since. He didn't charge me for the repair. Anyway mine had the same slack as yours did with the new shaft so I used the brass shim stock and it worked great.
We thought the same thing that the gear was pressed on the shaft. Fortunately when cleaning off years of grease and dirt we found the sheer pin. You were lucky the machine shop was able to repair their mistake.
Does Nick still own the Scenicruiser and TJ? Would love to see an update on those projects on your other channel. I'm building a CJ7 on my channel and was enjoying your progress on those two projects. Cheers! Mike
Yes he still has the Scenicruiser and the TJ. Those projects have been moth balled for the time being. We decided the TJ should really have a new frame before we can go any further with it.
Love the progress!
Thanks, were plugging along on it.
Hey wanted to stop by and comment and watch and thumbs up to make sure my subscribe sticks. I go live on Sunday nights at 7pm CST if you want to stop by and maybe get some new subscribers.

Wow love it
Thank you Lauren, and thank for watching!
