Hitch Receiver Fabrication

- Fabricating a universal hitch receiver for my homemade utility vehicle (UTV).
I need it so I can tow around anything on the homestead. It means I'm not confined to buying factory made ball hitch components (trailer coupler) whenever I need something new to tow around. I'll just attach the pin hitch and make a trailer coupler out of a flat bar, drill a hole in it, weld it and Bob's your uncle.
Stay tuned for future videos! Thanks for watching!

i would like to know, how much it weighs
Nice video,nice job. Inspirational as always ;)
КРУТО КАК ВСЕГДА МОЛОДЕЦ 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
man im so glad i subcribed to you! had a great laughter at the end of the video! :D
Where is the build video link for the belt sander? 🤭😁😜 You always do a lot of diy - just forgot it in this one? 😉
Engineering perfection + humour = Donn DIY! Love this channel :)
Cheers mate! 🤘
Exactly what I was thinking. So much perfection goes into his work. Absolutely amazing work and quality!
Yes!

Pretty disgusting yes copious amounts of skill, preparation and planning around machines we mere mortals don't have access to. Basically a great daydreaming channel about making stuff we can't unless we hit the lottery. He makes it look easy and common place. This results in us walking around with our tung's hanging halfway out beating on stuff with a hammer, little grinder action, some bird 💩 welding and whalah we've created a masterpiece all while feeling equal and enlightened.🤯😉
It was a Don DIY trailer parade through a field of spring flowers. NICE. hehe!
The end got me 😂😂😂
Yeah me to 😂
Да чтоб все так жили и творили когда желали! Всем добра и процветания!
Better looking and better built than factory. Love it.
Great build as usual.
Thanks!
Hi, buddy , I'm thrilled!!! And there's nothing wrong with your sense of humor. It seems to me that not all auto giants are related to production.👏👏👏👍👍👍
Nice work man.
Cheers!
I was blown away with your talent, especially the freehand grinding of the reinforcement brackets and bushings. You truly are a gifted fabricator! This is by far the BEST diy channel on TH-cam. Can’t wait for the next upload!!
Cheers man!
Your dandelion field is lovely, and that towing montage was top notch!
Piece of art! Hea töö!
Tänud!
That is a grate job 👍👌👍
Best video yet. Beautiful hitch, and very entertaining.
🖖👍🙂

End of the video is priceless :-) !
Who's the ONE person who did NOT like this video....
Ahhh I know, you are the guy in the tractor @17:15 and you are part of Donn's family but you did not make the cut and appear in your Tractor closer in the video
🤣🤣
AGAIN Donn, Great fabrication skills AND Humour!
You Rock!!!!
One word;
PERFECTION !
And you surfing on a snow-
sled through the dandelions,
PRICELESS.
Thanks for the all inspiring video.
Thank you for watching. 😉🙂
This video has an Happy Ending.
Great job!
Cheers!
Good job 👏
I just spent nearly 20 mins watching something I will never do in y life, and I enjoyed every second of it! You are a very creative guy.
Your buildings are so accurate, it seems like you are following a blueprint or something! that is an awesome skill, congratulations!
Not over-built at all! Nice work! 😉
The finale was hilarious!!
Sublime work my friend!
I’m currently making a tow hitch attachment to clamp onto the blade of my mini digger. This will allow me to bucket earth straight into my trailer and then tow it to wherever it needs to go. 👍
Your tig welding has improved 100% since when you first got your machine. Beautiful welds Donny. I did notice you have bought a linisher too. Great addition to the workshop. As always love your work Mate. Billy J....... Queensland, Australia.
Straight out of the Donn DIY factory! Excellent 👌👍
Laughed my butt off when the UTV drove past towing you on the sled, lol.
It’s almost a shame to paint your new hitch receiver, the paint hides all of your nice cuts and welds. Awesome work man!
I agree. A clear coat would have been super cool but I understand painting it black
Yes clear would have been great
What it the thing he adds? It is tig welding, but not brazing. What is the rod made of? 🤔🤓
@@TheStuartstardust the welding rod? probably ER-70S2
@@TheStuartstardust IT is tig welding rod. There is a lot of types, but usually the carbon steel ones are coated with copper alloy so they not get rust so easy. Usually ER70S or similar is used.
I'm an engineer at a tow hitch company and have been doing it for the better part of 20 years.
I just want to say that was a pleasure to watch! So much craftsmanship put into this project. Its way heavier than it needs to be but executed perfectly. And TIG welded, wow! I too thought you should have clear coated to show off those welds.
My only suggestion is make sure to keep that ballmount moving or greased so it doesn't rust in place with how tight the fit is.
Great video
You make the nicest stuff. I really enjoyed essential craftsman’s vid on his work truck. I think you’d enjoy the bit on his receiver. Quite innovative too

🤘🤘🤘
Just your "normal home fab shop". Unbelievable ! Thank you .
Thanks for watching!
nice hitch Donn, way above tractor standards. well made....
awesome engineering skills
That's an awesome light duty hitch. Looks really good too
Again a great display of your craftsmanship Donn!
Thank you, Alex!
Произведение искусства. Высший уровень!👍
Der Schluss war wieder einmal der Hammer
😁
That hitch receiver is bulletproof, exellent workmanship!
Learning and laughing; a great combination! God bless.
If you must paint, use clear lacquer bro, show off them nice welds and designs! Keep making things and give John Deere something to be nervous about👍🏽

It is s work of art. I agree clear.
Last minute is the best !!!!!🤣🤣👌
Poetry in motion ….. luv watching.
Thank you for the laughter and the always impressive work mate !
Thank you for watching!
This thing can pull a tank, most of the video i was perceiving that you are mostly fulfill your craving for TIG Welding, but all this is simply awesome.
Very nice hitch setup! Looking forward to the pto, front reciever and snowplow setup.
Looks like you have your own theme park ride going on there... Thumbs Up, Nice project, as usual!
Beautiful job. Well thought out, and well done.
You are quite the fabricator! I'm very impressed with your ingenuity!
Cheers man!
My friend that is a thing of beauty!!! Is their nothing you can not make. LOL Bravo sir , excellent job!👍
Nice work. always look forward to your videos
Very well equipped with all kinds of tools .
Now you need a front mounted hitch receiver and winch, For when you get stuck in mud towing things like heavy logs. Dont forget the DIY snatch block for those crazy moments when you need to do a side pull.
Best movie ending ever!!!
That's a great looking receiver! Well done as always, Donn!

It is not work when your having this much fun. Keep building and we will keep watching.
Brilliant !😂👍liked the ending !
You're a man of many talents, and skilled in them all. Enjoy watching your vids. Pmsl at the sled towing. 😂😂
🤪
Super robota!
Very nice job mate ! Awesome project !👍
If I told you this is my favorite one I would be lying. Everything that you have made is a gift from god to me watching you fabricate any tool or part... and then use it on the many things that you have made such as that sawmill that is the one that other manufacturers are copying of yours. That would be a compliment of its own. Thank you again Donn as I will be waiting anxiously for. Keep them coming please. A bucket full of your great ideas yet to come I hope
Great work Donn! MN USA👍🏻👍🏻
Great as always. Thank you so much for these neat videos.
Thank you for watching! 😉
Awesome work. I love watching your craftsmanship. Thanks again for churning out great content.
Nicely laid out and welded 👏👏👏
I'm happy you are happy Donny.
First 3 seconds, "This is my homemade UTV" instantly scrolled down to subscribe
Lol, right. Kinda did the same....
Well, that escalated quickly - belt sander makes a big difference in fabricating.
Your metal fabrication and welding skills are first class. And so is your sense of humour!
A big thumbs up from me! 👍
It was so beautiful. Like the spring coming
👍
Hmm, might have been a stunt double used for the dangerous scenes. Awesome video, dude.
Loved the tow humor at the end.
Love the ending; brilliant!
Your TIG welding is better than before.
Proper way to end the video! 🤣 Fine taste of humour 👌
🤪🤣🤪🤣
Very good Job, i'm wait for more
Awesome job as always!
Финалочка улыбнула
Once again a comical and entertaining video!
And well built hitch ,
I believe it could tow a fully loaded semi trailer !
And skulasaw got a workout in this episode!!
Well done Donn.
Cheers from Sydney Australia

The inspiration for this hitch originates from Australia. I worked in a farm 80 kms from Esperance back in 2015 and the UTE's had these universal hitch receivers and I immediately liked them. We built adapters for hauling mobile grain silos. I like the freedom it gives you.
@@DonnDIY
That's good to hear Donn.
I hope you enjoyed your time here in Australia!
Cheers.👍🍺🍺🍺👍
What a beautiful ending
Very nice! You’ve mastered the TIG very quickly!
great job and beautiful welds !
I'm surprised that I missed this video but it was a great one. Awesome job on the trailer hitch
Beautiful work, as always.
Noticed that you went back over your tig weld bead,argon/ argo-shield gas as coolent, good weld habit, also 'short-cut' marking out dem hole's..yeah man i know the buzz..well prepared n presented..'do-it-yourself-buzz'..cost effective..well done 👍 awesome 🦾 thnx 🤙✌️👍
Awesome video. Your hitch is built stronger than the one on my f450.
Awesome work as usual Donn. No shortage of torque there either. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. :)
Thing of beauty & functionality!
You are the lord of iron.
Great craftsmanship.
I really liked the parade of projects.
Another impressive video. I wish I had a fraction of your skill. Can't wait to see the finished trailer!
Nice built Donn , but 17:37 really cracked me up 😂😂😂😂😂👌
Высокая культура производства. Все фаски сняты, изделие облегчено, окрашено! +++
Wow! Everything is still so green here! In Kazakhstan, all the grass has already dried up. The heat is incredible. Well, as always, the work is done by 6 points out of 5
Your grassboarding skills are EPIC!! now I cant remember what the video was about.. RIDE ON !!!
Very nice
Hahhaha the best is end part 🤣
😁
Dude... that ending in the video was hilarious!
😉😁🤪
I love your humour, Donny, actually I absolutely love your videos.
