  • Years ago I built a chicken tractor that I had to roll around manually. It worked well but it was heavy and I got tired of pushing it around. So, I decided to build a new chicken tractor that uses electric wheelchair motors to move itself. This is the second video that explains how I built it. In this video I outline how I connected the motors together using a metal frame and also how the wiring harness was built.

    4:54 You're welding all over all your plastic tools. You can get a fiberglass welding blanket to cover up stuff (should have one anyway), but it's a good idea to clear your workspace of flammables/ruin-ables and have a water sprayer on hand for the inevitable accidental ignitions. In a pinch, get some old denim wet, wring it out, and use that to cover things, like your tires, that you don't want weld spatter on.

    Looking forward to the next video. Hope you continue to create content. If you choose you will make a very good channel/profit!

    I'm guessing the reason you couldn't weld to that bracket was because it's aluminum. You can always test by using a magnet. Nice project.

      It was steel, my welder just wasn't turn up high enough. I ended up figuring out how to weld to it after that video was shot. Thanks for watching.

    I want to know more about your automatic door, I've bought some that are solar and are unpredictable.

    Please draw up a plan.. With details and parts. I'd be willing to pay for your work as I'm sure others would too. Also add alternatives to the power chair motor wheels of possible

    Wow. I am surprised you haven't tried to sell this idea. For those who can afford to buy one already built or have the knowledge needed to build this it seems like a 'No brainer' that you would hold a 'Patent' and try to capitalize on this invention. Get with people that have the skills you don't actually have and put this down on paper & get it copyrighted. Don't forget 'A sister' who suggested this, I could use the money, LOL!!!

      It actually isn't a new idea and it's already patented :( BUT, the ones you can buy are very expensive so that's why I decided to figure out how I could build my own. My hopes with these videos is to help other people build them too. Thanks for watching.

    I guess a raccoon can't squeeze under the curtain.

      Not yet. I haven't lost any chickens to predators in the 3+ years of using this.
