Why would anyone dislike these videos!? This made from scratch. Hard work and long hours put into something like this. Something he will be proud to say he created. Love the videos. Keep up the awesome work.
These videos you are showing about this articulated dump truck are nothing short of amazing!!! I always am waiting for the next episode to see where your creativity will take this thing next.
Mike, thanks for the ideas and inspiration on my build using an 86 Nissan 4x4. V6 Engine powering big 13-64 GPM hydraulic pump, with hydraulic motor powering the transmission for hydrostatic drive. Can't wait for the next video...and don't worry about the negatives, someone always wants to be somebody else's boss/no-it-all!
Looking great Mike. When you stood in front of it to start it I said. “Next step. Build a dashboard so you can start it from the seat.” and then you gave us the teaser at the end. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Shorting you on gas has become an industry standard. Even ten years ago I had to check every bottle before it left the truck. Only a few times of that and I started getting full tanks. Fantastic build, beautiful workmanship. I wish I had have had the opportunity to learn CAD but I'm a little over the hump now. Not sure how much longer im going to be fabricating. Watching you is pretty easy on my body! Keep up the good work!
@@lostin.psychosis7080 That's a good idea and would be all you need for the type of work i'm guessing it would be doing/ (spreading gravel / woodchips, flattening pathways and such)
May I suggest that when you build the bed. Make it easily removable so that you can have different bed platforms for multiple purposes. Like one dump bed, one log skidder/tow truck bed. Maybe with grapple arm like Donn DIY logging trailer. Oh and then Donn's Homemade MatTraks. Ohhh I am so damn jealous of you guys and your youth, and tool capabilities!
I would make an adapter with a gauge on it and check the tank right in front of them. If its only 3/4, it would be a 3/4 payment. You may have to call the company headquarters but calling them out may change their way of doing business. I really like your channel. Your skills have really impressed me and I subscribed. Thank you for making such awesome content.
Awesome build. This would be like a $20,000 machine assuming you could even find one. And the fact you built it yourself will make any future repairs super simple. I'd put up some vertical posts behind the seat in case of a rollover. And you can use the posts to add a roof to protect from the elements. I am sure you already had it planned.
just wait to see his creative solution for adding fully adjustable limited slip to the rear differential if it works it will be pretty ingenious it is still in the design stage but i think it will work great
I love your videos! My grandfather was a tinkerer and after WWII bought some stamping and rolling machines from aircraft manufacturers as scrap and rebuilt them . One of his first projects, he made a steam powered locomotive the size of a bathtub and it looked like a real train from the 40-50's with several cars, working lights and about 5 miles of track made from 2" I beams that went around his farm. Some guy bought it after he passed away for $100k from our family. I think you're a lot like him :-)
Thanks for checking out my channel 👍 That train sounds really awesome! Your grandfather really sounds like a amazing person to design and build something like that. I appreciate you mentioning this 🙂
Another simply AWESOME presentation Mike! I hope that you submit your final work to Harbor Freight for their project video's and I really think they would consider becoming a sponsor to your channel. You showcase a lot of their products so they should be willing to pay you for the great PR you generate for them with your various builds and product evaluations. I would love to visit your shop and spend some time in what looks like a beautiful area but then I know so many others would as well so that is not going to happen. Can't wait for the final look of this fantastic machine you are creating, thanks so much for taking us along on your journey, all the best!
Right on Bob I really appreciate you taking the time to comment! After years of posting videos and making HF welder reviews out of my own pocket HF has started to notice my work. I have talked with some of the higher up guys there a few times and I’m working on trying out a new welder they are coming out with? We will see?! Take care Bob
Man I love this thing. I'd have a hard time choosing between this and donndiy's tracked amphibious vehicle as my absolute favorite diy from scratch ground vehicle build (sorry guys, Mike Patey has my vote for over the top amazing - Draco! ... And scrappy is no slouch either.) But even though i can't see myself ever affording to do an aircraft like Mike Patey, I have a HUGE interest in maybe following your example someday and building something useful like this. There's SO MUCH POTENTIAL in a platform like this. Thanks for the continuing inspiration and enjoyment!
You Sir, are an amazing design fabricator! I hope your employers really appreciate just how skilled you are! Fantastic job, can’t wait to see the final reveal! Stay safe.......
I cant believe people thought that about the seat and the battery. People can be quick to assume sometimes. I just fount this build and I love the idea. Cool as hell and I also think that the kits for the engine is a good idea. Cant wait to see it done.
Mr. Mike, thank you for the videos. You have inspired my son to bulid. He wants to build and brand a line of mini bikes, go karts, and atvs. He is only 14, he will be studying small engines and welding at school in the fall. Thanks you. We really enjoy your builds.
Pro tig 200 in the background stepping up the tig game. Love all these idiots that are so good at criticizing a vehicle you’ve literally built from scratch. You’re an extremely humble and talented dude. Thanks for the content and for the inspiration.
Just stumbled onto your channel from YT recommendations. First, exquisite taste in music my friend. Second, I need to start watching this build series from the beginning!
This video was right next to Grind Hard Plumbing video on their first drive of the 4x4 power wheels they are building! Two 4x4 builds posted at the same time. Thanks for the video!
This project is coming along nicely! That seat is going to save your back! Sounds like you going to build your own dump bed. Looking forward to the next video.
Awesome build. I really like your videos. Way more interesting than anything on motor trend. Especially how detailed your tutorials are. KEEP SENDING US CONTENT!!!! THANK YOU!
Loving this build so much. You’ve got serious skills, ignore the armchair engineers who couldn’t make themselves a cup of coffee, let alone something this cool.
This thing is so cool, you can tell how proud you are by the number of thumbs up given to the camera! You continue to impress, thanks for tips and sharing your Knowledge. -Jake
Mike, the amount of planning, time, and overall effort you put into that machine is truely amazing. I love the videos and the fact you are taking the time to let us follow along with the build. Don’t let the worthless trolls get you down..:)
051biohaz Thanks 😊 I really appreciate getting comments like yours! You truly appreciate this build and can understand the time and effort not only to plan and build something like this, but you also understand the time it takes to document it. Thank you 👍
Great stuff, Mike! So funny hiw people jump and skip thru videos instead of watching them all the way through...then they’re so quick to comment on things that you’ve already explained in the video, like the temporary seat and battery. Sheesh! I guess people haven’t figured out how to change the TH-cam Video Playback Speed so they can view the entire video in a shorter amount of time. I use it all the time! Saves me hours without sacrificing missing content! Love the build! Talk soon! ohh....and I might be needing one of those gear reduction jackshafts for one of my projects! I just finished building a Honda GX390 with electric start, essentially same engine as the HF 420.
It’s looking great. Can’t wait for the bed, it what I’ve been waiting to see since you started. But it’s been worth the wait with all the cool stuff you’ve done.
Love your videos Mike. Always get excited when the alert pops up with a new Predator build video. Keep them coming, don't know when you find the time man!
Hands down, this is the coolest, best engineered and built home built machine on TH-cam. Now, can you build a full size one that will last a lifetime for Andrew Camarata? LOL
Looking awesome, I will say it again this is one of the coolest projects I have seen on TH-cam. Keep it up, don't let the silly people comments bother you.
Mike, I have been rewatching this whole series for some inspiration for my buggy build and I am amazed by this build man…thank you again for the great content..:)
You truly have some amazing work. You are a natural visionary and a great engineer. You have given me lots of ideas for my go-kart build with 4 wheeler tires, suspension, and live axle. I look forward to exercising my mind in order to come up with some ideas as ingenious as yours.
Off the scale excellent engineering. I'm so in awe of your mechanical engineering and design skills well truthfully, I'm jealous. Seriously fantastic work, congratulations and thank you regards Gareth Wiltshire UK. Gratitude. Quality.
Mike, I have really enjoyed your build of this project. I look forward to each installment. My Dad use to say the some people wouldn’t be happy if they were hung with a new rope. That said, there will always be those who overlook the obvious. Just no way to make them happy. You are certainly an amazing craftsman. I learn a lot from your problem solving. I want a CNC table, but no room. Maybe at the next house. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to the next installment. Stay safe and be blessed!
I don’t just like I love your videos. I Wait for an update on this thing everyday. Thanks for sharing your hard work and a good hymns up is the least we can do.
Some folks just jump in with their pet gripe without actually watching or listening to what you are saying. :-( This is certainly an interesting project. I'm looking forward to episode 99 when you finally get it finished ;-)
I have just “binge watched” this whole build. Mike, this build is amazing. Your have done a beautiful design and it looks like it works amazing. I hope to one day be able to afford, and have the knowledge to build this.
Thanks for checking out my articulating t ruck series 👍 I really appreciate it! Have you seen my quad truck I built? It’s a really useful machine and much easier to build then this articulating dump truck, you may find that build interesting as well.
Mike festiva yes, I have seen your quad truck. That’s how I found your channel. My brother came across you and sent the video and that’s how I got hooked. I love you channel. Love your shop. Love your projects.
For my second comment I would like to say that I’m embarrassed for any attempt I’ve ever made to build something. It’s amazing watching you build this mike it really is cool that there are people like you out there capable of this kinda stuff.
Mike this build is the best build on TH-cam! I think your design and fabrication is top rate. 1st gear still doesn't appear low enough especially carrying a load up or down a steep hill. 10-1 might be a better granny gear. The steering is incredible. Have you worked out the hydraulics for the dump bed? How about fabing your own skidding winch for timber retrieval.
Thanks for checking out my new video 👍 Those dual piston calibers I was happy to find on E bay they are a step up from go cart calipers. They are for a 2008-2013 Yamaha Rhino 700, the set with pads were only $35! You should be able to find them on there 👍 Dude I’m really digging the turbo, your side by side was ripping when you had 20 PSI of boost!
Whoever thought you had the battery settled there permanent and the ktm seat as a permanent solution is as limited as a balcony. Keep up the good work and keep us hocked.
Very creative, and wonderful story telling. I like to repurpose stuff but no where like you do. Love the cool music also. God bless. Brian Wolverhampton UK
Right on Brian thanks for commenting and checking out my videos! Yes Salvaging is great 👍 Have you see my bandsaw mill? It was the first project I ever posted on TH-cam. It’s almost completely built out of salvaged parts. Take care and hello from The Pacific Northwest in Washington state 👍
My father made something very similar to that 55 years ago still uses it today he had a seat in the back portion but it articulated the same it is the most handy thing around
You were spot on with the 8 to 1 ratio, that is plenty fast enough for the design of the machine. I think it's going to be awesome when completed. One note I'd put a small hydraulic cooler in front of the engine off a case 222, 444 extra because when you start using it your going to be heating up the hydro and then you'll have everything leaking and falling.
This is an amazing video series. You do great work. I aslo think its funny that everyone is somehow a mechanical engineer as soon as they see somethinf they dont like, finished or not lol. I think its fantasic and you have a greay way of explaning stuff. P.S. good job on that shifter. Being able to work it so the pattern isnt flipped was a really neat move, especially for how simple you made it.
You know Mike some people are brain dead! You are a true craftsman with metal! Love your videos.
Why would anyone dislike these videos!? This made from scratch. Hard work and long hours put into something like this. Something he will be proud to say he created. Love the videos. Keep up the awesome work.
These videos you are showing about this articulated dump truck are nothing short of amazing!!! I always am waiting for the next episode to see where your creativity will take this thing next.
Thanks Jeff!
Loved the two stroke bandsaw
Wow. This project is great on so many levels. This is not a toy, it's a tool. Purpose built and functional. Great job. This is truly inspiring to me.
Not only do I love watching you get the dump tractor built, but your production value is great. I did miss some drumming this time around. Haha
Mike, thanks for the ideas and inspiration on my build using an 86 Nissan 4x4.
V6 Engine powering big 13-64 GPM hydraulic pump, with hydraulic motor powering the transmission for hydrostatic drive.
Can't wait for the next video...and don't worry about the negatives, someone always wants to be somebody else's boss/no-it-all!
Looking great Mike. When you stood in front of it to start it I said. “Next step. Build a dashboard so you can start it from the seat.” and then you gave us the teaser at the end. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Shorting you on gas has become an industry standard. Even ten years ago I had to check every bottle before it left the truck. Only a few times of that and I started getting full tanks. Fantastic build, beautiful workmanship. I wish I had have had the opportunity to learn CAD but I'm a little over the hump now. Not sure how much longer im going to be fabricating. Watching you is pretty easy on my body! Keep up the good work!
Have you thought about a dozer blade attachment? you already have the hydraulics. would come in handy for spreading whatever your carting.
My Opinion it could definitely work, it’s just about if cost is a problem. It’d be another $1000 to run hydraulics and make a blade
Just throw a straight blade from a snow plow truck on it they come with their own hydrolic systems and you can pick up a used one pretty cheap
@@lostin.psychosis7080 That's a good idea and would be all you need for the type of work i'm guessing it would be doing/ (spreading gravel / woodchips, flattening pathways and such)
My Opinion only thing is that you might need to modify the plow to make it not as heavy and have a better edge on the bottom
May I suggest that when you build the bed. Make it easily removable so that you can have different bed platforms for multiple purposes. Like one dump bed, one log skidder/tow truck bed. Maybe with grapple arm like Donn DIY logging trailer. Oh and then Donn's Homemade MatTraks. Ohhh I am so damn jealous of you guys and your youth, and tool capabilities!
Glen King. I like this idea!
Literally the highlight of my week! Can not wait for the next instalment! 👏🏻🎉
Right on! Thanks for checking out my new video 🙂
You are building a nice machine for hauling heavier loads. You're fabrication skills are excellent. I really enjoy your channel.
Thanks Jack!
I got ya on a thumbs up mike, always enjoy your flavor of fabrication.
Stumbled on this vid. Damn ingenious. I'm going to need to watch the playlist.
The guy is an amazing fabricator super methodical with everything. Well worth the time spent watching if you are into fabrication
That’s super awesome and has turned out very well so far!
I can’t wait for the final touches!
I have watched from the very beginning, nice job!
The artist to the music is Matt large. Great selection for the video.
I throughly enjoyed hearing you calling out all the dumb comments you get. You do great work. Thanks for the inspiration.
Some people like to share their great wisdom, in a lot of cases it's the LACK thereof. They're so ignorant they don't realize it.
I've enjoyed the entire build doing a nice job
I would make an adapter with a gauge on it and check the tank right in front of them. If its only 3/4, it would be a 3/4 payment. You may have to call the company headquarters but calling them out may change their way of doing business. I really like your channel. Your skills have really impressed me and I subscribed. Thank you for making such awesome content.
Nice work Mike!!! That is gonna be a very nice tool. Can't wait to see it hauling and dumping!!! Keep it up.
The value of what you’ve designed and manufactured is priceless. You are a role model for me. Sunday I built a part for my gate instead of buying it.
Please consider including more father/son jam sessions. Seeing him wail on those drums made my day!
Awesome build. This would be like a $20,000 machine assuming you could even find one. And the fact you built it yourself will make any future repairs super simple. I'd put up some vertical posts behind the seat in case of a rollover. And you can use the posts to add a roof to protect from the elements. I am sure you already had it planned.
I can't wait to see how this little tractor/truck looks with body work & the tipper body 👍🏼
I can’t wait to see the cab built and the dump bed!!
Great work, your still making me marvel at the whole project. Thank you.
You are a mechanical genius.
just wait to see his creative solution for adding fully adjustable limited slip to the rear differential if it works it will be pretty ingenious it is still in the design stage but i think it will work great
Absolutely love the development of this
Keep up your good work and ignore the ignorant comments
Thanks Richard!

DEFINITELY need to build one of these ...
Mike, I have been rewatching this whole series for some inspiration for my buggy build and I am amazed by this build man…thank you again for the great content..:)
Aloha Mike thanks for the build content and liked the reverse tape measure trick you added in no one else seemed to notice
Right on glad you noticed 👍 thanks for checking out my channel I really appreciate it 🙂
You truly have some amazing work. You are a natural visionary and a great engineer. You have given me lots of ideas for my go-kart build with 4 wheeler tires, suspension, and live axle. I look forward to exercising my mind in order to come up with some ideas as ingenious as yours.

Mike, That is going to be BAAAD A$$$$! Great job.
2 words Mike... Buddy seat! You need to have a spot for your kiddos!
Mike, I have really enjoyed your build of this project. I look forward to each installment. My Dad use to say the some people wouldn’t be happy if they were hung with a new rope. That said, there will always be those who overlook the obvious. Just no way to make them happy. You are certainly an amazing craftsman. I learn a lot from your problem solving.

The new gearing on that thing is absolutely perfect! Can't wait to see the next video!
Thanks for another awesome video. Can't wait to see you finish it.
Looking good. I liked the tap measure/ camera trick.
This build series is bad ass. I also like the pace of your videos and the cut ins for explanations, very well made. Keep up the good work.
Some folks just jump in with their pet gripe without actually watching or listening to what you are saying. :-(
This is certainly an interesting project. I'm looking forward to episode 99 when you finally get it finished ;-)
Right on thanks Rob! I appreciate your comment 👍
By the way, the tape measure effect on the jack shaft did not go unnoticed. Very cool
Love the 2 stroke bandsaw

That thing is awesome nice job definitely got the right seat
Amazing mike! You've come a long way. Hey where did you get those dual piston gray brakes from? eBay?
Vasily Builds keep up with your builds 👍
Thanks for checking out my new video 👍
Those dual piston calibers I was happy to find on E bay they are a step up from go cart calipers. They are for a 2008-2013 Yamaha Rhino 700, the set with pads were only $35! You should be able to find them on there 👍
Dude I’m really digging the turbo, your side by side was ripping when you had 20 PSI of boost!
@@Mikefestiva thanks Mike! That's should be a big help to stop my buggy faster. It's got 1 piston brakes up front
Whoever thought you had the battery settled there permanent and the ktm seat as a permanent solution is as limited as a balcony. Keep up the good work and keep us hocked.

I think you will enjoy using it almost as much as you are enjoying the build. Nice job
Cool project dude. Thanks for sharing.
