  • This is part 2 of the trailer build project and in this part i will be finishing the trailer off. We get to see how it works and operates. I was excited for this project for some time and now i'm really glad its finally finished. Hope i will get tons of use out of it this year and all the coming years.
    Thanks for watching!

    Personally I think this build is way more sturdy than anything you would by on Marketplace for just $700.

    Nice work Ants! Your trailer looks really solid and should hold up very well.
    It’s always a balancing act between bought or built, but I think most of the time when building something like this it is usually built for your needs and will last a lifetime 🙂👍
    Nice work!

    To be sure, you have built a battleship of a trailer! Sometime you might find a truck scales and learn why it is so hard to push! With those doors at each end you will be able to load trees to be milled. Good luck and I admire your engineering skills!

  • @johnferris2919
    @johnferris2919 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Andris, nice job on the trailer build. I think you have something that will survive time and will be passed to your next generation. Keep an eye on your hitch because it is carrying a lot of strain given that your axle is placed at the back of the trailer. Experience speaking now as I have owned several steel trailers and put a lot of time and effort into painting them to minimize rust. Rust is inevitable with a steel trailer. What I came to realize is looks are nice but stopping rust is the key to maintaining the structural integrity. What I did was paint the trailer black and then spray the trailer with old oil & ATF spring and fall then drive on a dusty road. I never had a rust issue again but I didn’t win any beauty contests either. Just sharing some cold Canadian experience.

      @@Ants_Pants Andris, sorry for my comments being out of sync with your timeline but I am in process of watching and liking all your videos. That was one huge load of rocks (tons) on the trailer when the fatal break of the tongue happened. The great news is the rest of the trailer handle the excessive weight beautifully. If you have a free moment (doubt you ever will with the project list you have) I would move those rear wheels forward. It will go a long way to reducing stress on the frame of the entire trailer and will greatly improve the manoeuvrability of the trailer when towing and backing up. Overall love your content, dialogue, sarcasm, and your drive to tackle any project. Hope you don’t mind me commenting on past videos as I get caught up. I definitely look forward to your Friday video issuances bro.

    I tried to use one of those little stick welders a friend owned. I was never able to get it to work. You’re actually doing pretty well with yours. When I got my own welder I got a small wire feed unit that was very easy to use but took a while to build up a larger bead. Finally got an old Airco multi process machine that pretty much did everything well. I was actually able to run stick for the first time with it. It runs wire fast enough to take some of the tedium out of making long or large beads. Or just a lot of little beads. That’s going to be a great trailer.

    You could’ve made a trip latch like a dump truck bed with a rope going from the back of the trailer along the side to the back of your tractor! Then you just pull it to release the tailgate when you’re ready!

    • @Ants_Pants
      @Ants_Pants  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The thing with that is that i dont wanna fill the bed to the top with gravel. i think either the axel will break in half 😂😂 or it wont be able to dump that load, so i will remove the tailgate when i used it to dump gravel and most likely only fill it up halfways for starters. Like when i made the loader for my tractor. at first i was scared to use it because i thought it would break, but after years and years, iv built up confidence now knowing that thing is indestructible

    Very good made 👍👍👍.
    But if i am you i would add something more.
    At front of trailer (i mean faceing traktor) i would add a steel box. So you can put there some material you need for loging like: Chain, robe, motor-saw (inkl. Benzin, oil, reserve chain), working tools, …
    Also you can put a holder for hydraulic pipe if no need. (Will be protected from dirt)
    So you have everything you need allways with you. (Do not forget some warm drinks and / or 🍺🍺🍺😁😁😁)
    Also as you can take off the back door complitly i would add a holder on the side of trailer. If no need the back door you can place it on the side / if need you easely can replace it, as it is there allways.
    Good luck.

    Maybe you want to consider buying a cheapo little plasma cutter for future projects. It saves a LOT of time and the cuts are good enough for rough welding jobs, plus with your new welding electrodes you can fill impressive big gaps. 🙂

    Hey, congratulation for the build. Hydraulic system top up from filter to avoid contamination, i had the same problem when topping up the backhoe, it took forever. It was caused by the old filter nearly clogged up. Changing yours should solve that too ;) cheers

    I dont know if you have it but you should add a hose break valve (google translate) because if your kids or someone else is under the trailer and somehow the hose breaks the dump box wont fall down on them. just a friendly tip.

    Looks great and an another accomplishment! I would have thought you'd hinge the rear door from the top for easier dumping. You could rotate the door upwards and support it on the top if you needed to load anything longer than the trailer as well. Also tack down the bed to the cross supports.

      I was planning to remove the rear hatch, when i use it for dumping goods. Wasent even sure that i should make the rear hatch, as i m thinking it will be off most of the time.

    It’s looking good Andris my friend! Those rams look huge in there, I think your trailer is going to be real nice! I like it! I believe you should get the trailer hooked up to the tractor and get everything working before you finish it and then do your painting and material protection done! Just my opinion brother but you’re doing fine!
