Gotta love all of the "experts" dispensing their 'hard-earned ' knowledge. I take these videos for what they are - entertainment - because you aren't teaching the viewer anything, simply showing what you're doing. Good job getting the backhoe running, it will sound a lot better after you take the time for a tune up and possibly a full carb rebuild. Thanks for sharing this with us and Happy Holidays to you and yours.
@@SpiritWarriorOne point well taken. For a moment there, I actually thought that I knew what I was talking about.... I forgot that it wasn't a gas engine. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Just a reminder Mike but the steel frame under those mobile homes is junior-I. If not bent or twisted it is more than capable of supplying you with a stout goose neck trailer for trash and light equipment if you are a fabricator/welder. I hauled many loads of scrap steel for my father-in-law in the early eighties with a four axle forty foot goose neck he built. It takes gussets and cross braces but that long trailer frame in the video welded together end to end like that would have provided many cross pieces. While the doughnut axles aren't popular they are arched however and should be fine for local projects and last for years. Shortening them up properly is not hard to do. It's just a thought... Thank you for the videos.
@@arnoldromppai5395 That forty foot wet noodle hauled 15,000 pounds like it wasn't there. The key was spreading the weight of the load out the full length. He welded cross pieces 7'6" long cross-bed every 4' and the two main stringers were 12" apart center to center with short pieces welded in between box beam style. Other steel was used as well for goose neck reinforcing, gussets and frame stiffeners. The deck was inch and a quarter tongue and groove bought at Bob's Auction in Rolling Hills. We even hauled his old backhoe around on it over the four axles setting on half inch plate with no problem. And if you are wondering, the trailer was inspected and licensed by the State of California in Fontana but you're free to spend however much you want for a new "manufactured" trailer. The thing is, not everyone has to do that. That old trailer was heavy as hell even empty. Especially pulling it with a 1978 dodge dually 440 4-bbl gasser with an automatic transmission which actually worked pretty well once you got her wound up. The damned thing loaded could only get between 4 and 6 miles a gallon southern Ca. to south central Idaho. Now those were the days!
@@ramjet7470 well you said it all, and stop and think about all ya did,, haaaa if you weld enough steel in to anything it will work, but use that steel to build something good, not some thing all patched to gather, i am a welder an mfg by trade for 50 years and know these mobile home frames, been in the custom built trailer game far to long,, what the truck have to do with any of it.. lol
@@arnoldromppai5395 Look slick, you're the one who said it was wet noodle steel not me. The guy that welded it was a master pipe fitter and welder that could weld anything. While you were out chasing your first piece of teenage tail he was supervising construction of the San Onofre nuke plant so don't get too high on your own horse big guy. There are a lot of guys and gals out there who are not relegated to investing $30,000 into a trailer only for it to dump 20% of it's value when they drive it off of your lot. I'm 65 and I have bought and paid for "manufactured" car haulers. lo-boys, goose necks and flat beds so don't go getting your panties all tied up in knots. It's Christmas time 'ya know.
I liked it, i liked the wife helping you write it. It kinda made me feel like you and the family are starting to realize this youtube thing might make you a nice little deal and that was your way of telling us you want to take us along for the ride.....kinda goofy i guess but thats what i was thinking.
Good movie 7/10 great character arc! Starts out a little slow and Id like to see more of the lady but the main villain was very convincing! In the end I found myself rooting against the mobile home. I laughed, I cried, I would watch again. Looking forward to the the next one!
I used my front end loader go make a 10 to 12 ft fire break around my large burn piles and then used it to keep pushing everything into smaller and smaller pile as bnb it burnt out. Also used the loaded to make sure the fire did not get out of the safety zone. Ha 4 40x20 piles that took several days to burn out. Good luck on future burns.
@@powerram92 so if you press forward the bucket goes down if you move the control a little past that point you will feel a another position in the valve and the loader bucket will move freely.
Its hard to say on cost. Its rent property we bought and are cleaning up. I would charge at least $3 per square foot if i was doing if for someone. The way i did it probably 4 days. I would not separate wood if i had to do it again. i would just haul it all to the dump and separate only wire and steel and not separate the siding I only made 80 on siding totally not worth the time.. If i did it again 2 days. Invest in a good respirator is the biggest tip i can give you..
you dont demo them things 2 gallons of fuel oil and its gone in 10 min.. the idea to demo is fold and smash everything into it self, not all over the ground, your going to have nore flat tires you keep doing it like that, use the hoe and smash it all into the center, when you have a machine there is no handd work except a little hand raking at the end as a finish clean up very little
hi mike you need to get a small go for the I H I ,, MAKE OR the KOBOTA NOT BOBCAT THE COMPUTERS GIVE TROUBLE digger do you watch ANDREW CARRMATAS CHANEL, ALSO A trailer
the backhoe or the mobile home. the backhoe i have around $4000-4500 in with repairs and fluids and the mobile home came with a property I recently bought.
