LOL I was thinking now he needs to convert a motor jack into a bucket arm and you mention maybe....I had a similar idea for the unloader but I was thinking gears and a chain with the motor mounted to the bumper. Your idea is a less complicated and certainly works.. I used to drive 10-14 wheel dumptrucks , spreading is a neat trick to master..one driveway I carried 3 loads of gravel and rocks to ended up as my sons bf's (my #1 notson) house... That small water fall /cascade crossing your drive is gorgeous! Im sure a video of just that short stretch of creek would get tons of hits
I've seen some truck drivers spread gravel so even we didn't even have to work it down. I guess it does take some practice. I could set up a camera down by the creek and just let it run for a while. It's a relaxing sound.
Damn good thinking. I was thinking something similar. But I was looking at welding a socket or nut 🔩 to the end and just slapping a drill or impact on it.
Great Idea...But I would definitely find a way to divert the water.. Anyone around there got a tractor you could use to get the stone in.. I have trouble with my driveway whenever it rains..Water runs down the hill and washes all stone out..
I tried an impact on it and it would just barely move it. I think if I hadn't stopped after a few seconds it would have broken the nut off the end. An impact is good for loosening bolts but not so much for very high torque just turning something.
That would be great, except the culvert would be over a quarter of a mile long and at least five or six feet diameter. It would be expensive for my budget.
It would be worth a try. I tried my Neiko impact on it and it wouldn't budge it. One problem I could see with a Milwaukee would be that the impacts on the hollow pipe would end up twisting it in two. I like the fact I can unload it from inside the cab. Very handy to spread the load out some to make it easier.
Have you ever thought about building a kontinuos belt? Like getting another HF dump unloader and sewing it to the other? That way you wouldn't need to reset it. I'm getting one next weekend and I love your motor idea. I realize it woulod probably just slip without wrapping but still..... ;) The reason being, iive in Kommiforniastan and putting a real dump set up on my trukk komplikates insurance etc here. I mean everything is retarded in my state. Also, does the winch free spool when you want to reset your drag tarp?
I think the continuous belt idea would work. It would require several rollers in the middle of the belt to support it. With the rollers it would probably dump the load much easier and be better for the winch motor. This one does not free spool I take it off the nut to allow it to unwind.
@@lukeFugate Dude, deadass! Hella. I have been looking at konveyer belt parts and they are pricey. But you know what it damn near free? Quitters selling tread mills or giving them away on marketplace. Hahaha. ;) Man. I totally subskribed already. Stay good man..i dig your brain 🧠. Let the haters hate. Life is short. Have a great day and I look forward to geeking thru your vids. It's almost 12am in NorKal. My girl says i gotta get in bed. Happy days man. Sübix- 🤘😎🤘

Now that is ingenuity!!! I love how resourceful you are to create things that help you overcome your daily obsticales. Keep it up Luke 👍😊👏🚚
And he does them on the cheap!
Thanks! I guess in some ways it's because I'm a little bit lazy and don't want to work harder than I have to lol.
Yes, cheap is the best way!

If you have a wired trailer hitch, you can run a trailer wire plug to power the winch. So it can power it turning on your headlights.
Good suggestion! I would have to up the wire size and fuse, but it would work. Thanks!

Same! Have you tried it yet?
Good Job Luke & Wonderful Modification 👍🏼
Thanks! Makes it a lot easier.
King of inventions. 👍
Thank you!
Great work Luke !
Thanks!
Man! You can build anything! Pretty cool!
Thanks! Well, I'm a little bit lazy, so anything I can do to keep from working harder.
Good work!
Thanks!
You seem like a cool guy
Thanks!
Interesting
Thanks! Much better on the back too.
Great Idea...But I would definitely find a way to divert the water.. Anyone around there got a tractor you could use to get the stone in..
I have trouble with my driveway whenever it rains..Water runs down the hill and washes all stone out..
Love the mod.
Thanks! it is handy.
Nice. Very clever 👍
Glad you like it!
Could you tell me what material the canvas is made of? I'm using google translate so it might sound gimmicky
I'm not sure of the material. It is some type of plastic. It is like the material used for trampolines.
Love it
Thanks. It saves from having to shovel out, now if I can just eliminate the shoveling in too.
Put an engine starter. That will dump it in no time.
I wonder if it would be useful to use an impact wrench?
I tried an impact on it and it would just barely move it. I think if I hadn't stopped after a few seconds it would have broken the nut off the end. An impact is good for loosening bolts but not so much for very high torque just turning something.
Nice!
Thanks!
@@lukeFugate Hey can you tell me, do the stock straps on that unloader damage the tailgate paint in any way?
@@toolrev I was concerned about that as well. So far no damage but I really haven't left it on the truck for very long.
@@lukeFugate Cool, thanks for the info.
Got a driver's side brake light out.
Thanks. Yeah. this video helped me to see that. Just a loose wire.
@@lukeFugate Thought they looked like LED's & it's rare for them to go all at once like that unless like you said, a loose wire.
I would put a trench and install a culvert for that road
That would be great, except the culvert would be over a quarter of a mile long and at least five or six feet diameter. It would be expensive for my budget.
@@lukeFugate Facebook Marketplace..🤣🤣🤣 for Pipe...Rent a trencher..
you could just use a milwaukee impact probably
It would be worth a try. I tried my Neiko impact on it and it wouldn't budge it. One problem I could see with a Milwaukee would be that the impacts on the hollow pipe would end up twisting it in two. I like the fact I can unload it from inside the cab. Very handy to spread the load out some to make it easier.
I think a bit of re-gearing, and, You could have Launch him and the tire right out of there!
I Would have!
👍🤪👍
lol
Do you have one built to sell me?
Sorry, I can't build them to sell. It is pretty easy to do though.
