After a failed attempt to move the chicken coop from my driveway to the back of my property I decided to ramp it up a notch! I bought 4 10" wheels and tires and turned my chicken coop into a truck of sorts. My initial idea was to use two hand trucks and strap them to the back of the coop so I could then use the tractor to lift the front. I then used a single hand truck to test the theory and while I could see I was on the right path, the idea definitely needed to be modified. Instead of two hand trucks (sometimes called dollies) I bought 4 wheels and tires and bolted them directly to the rear of the coop. Then the tractor did the rest. It worked.
The family and I bought chickens for the homestead and boy has it been a learning experience so far. But, that's exactly what we wanted. Experiences like this are worth their weight in gold.

That Coop Is pretty amazing looking. I'm reminded of that old saying, "An elephant is a mouse built to military specifications".

[@1RoadGarage]

Never heard that but it’s cool! 👍

[@autophile-cv621]

Jimmy, You are the man. You always figure out the best solutions. and you're fun to watch! Keep the great videos coming.

[@1RoadGarage]

Thanks for the inspiration!! 👍

[@Tablesaw818]

Always enjoy your videos. Wish you uploaded more often!!

[@markryl-kuchar2373]

I would suggest coating the holes you made for the wheels in something to keep the boards from rotting

[@1RoadGarage]

It is pressure treated wood but yes, I may do something like that.

[@AlaskaWild]

Would love to see a video where you show how to change and bleed brakes along with bleeding the master cylinder! Your instruction is usually awesome.

[@smartman123]

real American 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻God bless you and God bless america 🇺🇲

[@ae4bp]

WOW Jimmy! That quite a nice estate you have there!

[@joelmollenkopf3767]

Interesting

[@joelaperalez6608]

You should of got old pallet and disassemble and get 2/4 cut to size of each 4x4 and layer them under so the ground will rott the 4x4.

[@charlesdawson3248]

You sound just like the Mac enthusiast.... Luke Miani

[@trailerwithyardwasteonit7188]

I love the home project videos

[@ToyManFlyer1100]

😂😂😂...Now the Chickens gonna lay Lopsided yoked Eggs...😂😂

[@29madmangaud29]

Good Job , Jimmy, I thought it might go over to, too bad you don't have no boys, to help you.

[@master6435]

Also if your going to keep wheels on that I'd try and press a copper pipe in the wood so steel bolt or axle won't eat at the wood

[@jcnme]

Great Job Brother 👍

[@nfraser7711]

I was wondering would it have been easier if you put wheels on the front as well so you didn't have to lift the front end

[@twistedveteran4562]

I would add some concrete deck blocks so that the 4x4 posts dont rot out in a couple of years.

[@1RoadGarage]

I may do that

[@x-man5056]

4:26 You erred in the placement of this board. You have a knot, a good sized one, right at the most stressed area of the board (when in use), and you drove a screw into it, potentially making it weaker (acts as a wedge). Knots are hard and brittle, where lumber often cracks. Looks like this board should have been swapped end for end or at least move the knot to the top by rolling the board 180 degrees. Generally speaking, you should avoid driving a screw or nail into the area of a knot.
I do like your idea to put duels on it though. Your transit with the tractor would have been easier with less length in the chain between the coop and the bucket. That would eliminate most of that swing you were getting. But..mission accomplished, good job Jimmy.
Next up, Jimmy builds a sailboat in his basement.🤣😂😛

[@1RoadGarage]

👍😂😂

[@johnfitzgerald5158]

I think the chicken house should be closer to your house so you can better observe.

[@1RoadGarage]

Good point. The thing is, now we can see out almost every window and check on them. 👍

[@carportmods]

Mix some dawn soap and transmission fluid and mop the legs of the coop to protect them from water and insects.

[@circlepfarm9729]

Love your videos Jimmy, but it just seems to be wasting valuable space under that nice carport cover.

[@1RoadGarage]

I think what’s wasting space is all the wood that is stacked up under there. I’m gonna clean that out. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@master6435]

If there is a attachment for tractor to have forks that would be even easier to move

[@zoefaith120]

Lordy, how long did it take to drive backwards to the finally spot.

[@tossedsalad5532]

Jimmy is the owner of a chicken ranch ?

[@1RoadGarage]

Pretty much ..

[@a.r.o7697]

What do you do for a living aside from making DIY TH-cam videos?

[@1RoadGarage]

Love my family 😉

[@robertmailhos8159]

Does that thing come with a hemi engine in it sweet 😂

[@ChezJohn]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@1RoadGarage]

Glad you enjoyed! 🤙

[@03bonneville]

Good job, slow is the ticket on a tractor.
It looks like you’re missing California 😂😂😂

[@Jim_woods]

Hope you placed it on bricks
