I think it’s cool that you show your mistakes, and we can all learn together!

@jamesschramm4739 Год назад

It may not have done everything you wanted it to but......... IT LOOKED GOOD............

@dougallmcmillan8970 Год назад

You are an example of someone who exudes commitment and common sense, characteristics quite often absent in today's society. Well done

@setholson6550 Год назад

I enjoyed the video and the fact that you show the good and what you call your bad. The only thing it still needs is your sticker on the front middle” county view acres”. Susan

@csnanny1882 Год назад

Don’t get down on yourself, you are great in a everything you do. You will get it like you want it, give yourself time. You and Rebecca enjoy your big Turkey, and have a enjoyable thanksgiving, God bless and take care.

@bige.3474 Год назад

Watch a guy called IC Weld. He taught me how to use a cutting torch in a fluid motion by using it like a pool cue. He's a true professional.

@jerrywoodlee2345 Год назад

Trial-and-error that's how we learn things. Nice job

@nelseshaver2679 Год назад

I think you will get a lot of use from your creation. Thanks for sharing this with us.

@ithacacomments4811 Год назад

Blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours!

@declanoshaughnessy7733 Год назад

Best wishes from Ireland straight up that is one brilliant made of set manure forks 10 out of 10 well made one quick question it is up to yourself as an machine engineer Rome was not built in a day and every person learns step by step I thought that the fork would need side forks best wishes in getting it to do your work best wishes and best of health to your family and friends 👍👍🙏🙏

@catgirl8845 Год назад

It worked better the second time, shorter was better. It works for now! Better then I could do.

@codyschoenberger8192 Год назад

You have a great sense of ingenuity I never thought of that I bought mine. Very good

@leol1682 Год назад

Like your bucket forks but brace them tines in back .

@waynejones5239 Год назад

All shop projects take longer than inticipated

@deannamarie4149 Год назад

Just wanted to let you know Evan and Rebecca. Country View Acres is now showing up in my Google News Feed! Anyone else catching them?

@joshmiller8663 Год назад

Even you're a dam good fabricator bud nice work.

@glennstatham960 Год назад

You spent nothing but materials and your time. You wasted nothing. You built something. You learned something. Go YOU!

@aldonboon1728 Год назад

I actually thought it worked very well after adjustment ! Good size loads picked up well !

@letartcircuitrider118 Год назад

Imagination leads to invention. Good job…looks like it will work for what you want to accomplish.

@hopeherefords8122 Год назад

Love it! Home made is always best! Keep it up you two! 👍😎

Evan! You are so talented!! GREAT JOB!!

@dennisdole1764 Год назад

Great job, it’s working better now 😊

@canadianfarmerdonnie Год назад

On the right track but you will find eventually what works best for it

@myrnabergman9232 Год назад

Boy Evan you are a workaholic. Wish I had half your energy. That would be a lot for an83yr old. 😅

@roscoejones4515 Год назад

I think you did great! Though I saw trouble brewing when you pointed the forks straight at the ground!😉

@jamesmorrison1884 Год назад

Nice work Evan have a great day.

@EC4400 Год назад

I think you did a great job, Evan. Keep tweaking it until your satisfied. Don't be so hard on yourself.

@valeriedevereux5912 Год назад

I am always impressed with the things you do and make.

@jimlong527 Год назад

Better to have tried and failed than not to have tried at all. I can bet Rebecca has a few good pointers for you to improve this new tool ha ha..

@bevnelson3678 Год назад

You did a good job Even.

@teenagefarmer Год назад

That's funny. I just got done making a video today about spreading manure 😂. I come in side and Evan is building a manure fork. Cool

@darwinsmith3124 Год назад

Hey Evan , good job on welding but I would find me some points and weld them on that you can slide over the ends & weld them on, that way you not losing the strength of the tube, just saying 😀

@jeffm7669 Год назад

I have a variation of a grapple that I use for cleaning up my pine tree farm. It scoops up pine needles and debris no problem. Can't post a pic tho...

@scottbalak7123 Год назад

you are spot on when it comes to "bolt on" forks, spear, whatever. Those things work well enough to show you what's possible, but are beyond frustrating. They just teach you to buy dedicated implements.

@bendigr Год назад

pointed round tines. like a giant pitch fork.

@wileycoyotesr8623 Год назад

Looks good to me. I once saw something similar with 60 degree tips. Remember, Henry Ford made more than one Model T prototype.

@dickdavidson3616 Год назад

True, he started with Type A…..19 more concepts later, came Type/Model T.

@sroberts605 Год назад

It's not called trial and error for nothing!

@richardflowers8073 Год назад

Good job !!!

@TomSmith-me7ph Год назад

Maybe a 10” inch by 6 foot wide plate welded to the bottom of the tines would work. That would strengthen the tines some more. Just a suggestion.

@johnkeyes5719 Год назад

Nice job, Evan....You are too hard on yourself... And the modification was much better...I am proud of your abilities and accomplishments...

@lorineidtinytoadplot744 Год назад

I think if you welded braces on each tine, like the ones on the outside tines, but longer, would help for strength and holding material. If you wet the hay and drive over it It comes up in sheets ;) That's how we do it with the pallet forks ;)

@bernardjones6162 Год назад

Great job! It works !

@roberto.peterson9917 Год назад

Possible suggestion the tines to be pined so be able to replace easy when damaged

@DBCanfield Год назад

As someone who has had to turn huge compost piles like yours by hand, I would say that your fork is a success!

@bobcruse512 Год назад

I composed for more than 50 years. It took a few years to learn the dos and do nots. I highly recommend a compost thermometer. One can be had for less than $15. The pile needs to be at least 150 degrees to kill the weed seeds and parasite eggs as well as other critters that enjoy a lukewarm pile. The pile should NOT dry out. Every time the pile is turned it needs to be sprayed (water) not soaked.about the constituty of a wrung out sponge. It's best to turn the pile every two to three weeks even when it's covered in snow. If I followed my own afore mention advise, by spring I would have sweet smelling, weed and disease free black gold. ,

@pagnolbergman8600 Год назад

Good job ! You expected the wasted hay inside the compost bin : done ! This is not a fail, just mistakes… Here is a link to another diy fork, take a look to teeth and the way they are attach. Don’t be disappointed, go ahead !

@teenagefarmer Год назад

Great idea using the blocks to space the tines out

@joeberry4179 Год назад

I certainly agree about the dedicated unit, easy to hook up. I have a set of bolt on debris forks and they work great for me, just have to make sure they are tight or they can fall off. Needed in a pinch with free shipping and they arrived 4 days later. Like yours a lot better and you don't have to worry about them falling off, mine have ...........awesome work, jb

@nv7136 Год назад

Hey there. Great part you made. You could have kept them long but you should try hardening them. That is what we do here. Put them in fire. Then in water and then in fire again. And then big points. Then they wont bend anymore

@KYKAYAKER274ey1 Год назад

Awesome job our manure fork I longer and about a foot apart or close to that maybe 10 inches great job though

@KYKAYAKER274ey1 Год назад

Is longer about 3 foot long and 10-12 inches apart works great u need the with for wet manure mix

@rogerr1296 Год назад

I think it turned out pretty dang good myself. I agree that a pointed end like a bale spear has might work better and maybe a couple less spears...? Hard to say, you'd think the more spears the more/better it would pick up. I was trying to remember how many Pete (Just a few acers) has on his. It seems he just had like 4 or 5 but I might me wrong. Anyway, I think you did a hell of a job.

@KansasCowBoy Год назад

You should look at these VEVOR Debris Forks for 48" Bucket, Clamp-on Forks for Tractor 2500LBS Loading Capacity, Tractor Forks Attachment for Bucket, Clamp on Debris Forks w/Two Chain Holes for Materials Handling, Steel

@melvintacha1101 Год назад

Looks like it worked pretty good to me

@jimnaz5267 Год назад

not sure what it isn't doing well enough??? It seems to be doing what you described it should do. great that you engineered it up and just built it. I enjoy ever one of your videos. I never thought there would be so much welding and machining and carpentry work running a farm. You seem to have mastered each of the challenges. happy thanksgiving to you and Becka and all the animals in your care.

@jjohnson2553 Год назад

"not sure what it isn't doing well enough" Find some video of a factory made fork and you will see the difference. A good fork will slide into/under the hay effortlessly instead of pushing the pile along the ground like a bulldozer as it struggles to penetrate the pile in order to lift it.

@4knanapapa Год назад

Maybe some backhoe teeth will make the tines come to a better point

@harveystephens6115 Год назад

That mod made it much better Smaller or round and sharp pointed tines probably be the best, but be a little more likely to bend but will get under hay. Nice job. Enjoyed Why don’t you make you a hay ring Make a good project video. Might get you a tube bender to bend and make your circle. Or out of 1”conduit and 1/2” rebar

@chucknelson4556 Год назад

well you got done what you wanted to at least

@joedoakes8307 Год назад

YOU , should have used expanded metal on the sides , SO you could SEE through the holes how well your hay pusher is working !!!!!!

@terrycastor8299 Год назад

It isn't a total loss. It works. Not totally sure what your goal was but it was at least a base hit. Maybe not a Home Run, but you got safely on base. Hang in there. You'll get it like you want it.

@lynnelewis9605 Год назад

Hi its a great idea but have u thought about putting sides on the to end bars and putting small pieces of bar in between the longs bars to make it stronger for picking up but put the small bars nearer at the back I hope it helps you out.x

@sams568 7 месяцев назад

Check out how they made the Stone Fork for tractors. Maybe putting some type of sides and made a bottom plate with the forks exposed 2 ft or so. Just a suggestion I was looking at the ones made by HLA Attachments.

@WyoWellTester Год назад

You could stagger the length of the tines

@danielheartsill4269 Год назад

As usual another fantastic job of building equipment. I know you spent money and time building it, but if you bought one it would have been much more expensive and more than likely not built as well. Good job. Considering what you are lifting with it maybe you should paint it brown, LOL

@michaelchamberlain4618 Год назад

You should have put the flat steel on the front of that so the stuff doesn't get plugged up by your tubes

@jimg8218 Год назад

Úse landscape rake to pull out then pick up with manure forks

@tomcox954 Год назад

You had to tweak it once to fine tune it , I think it works fine for what you built it for, sure beats a pitchfork and wheelbarrow ALL to pieces.

@01abihsot Год назад

Cut your tines to 18 inch and build a grapple like a skid steer that’s what I had on the farm works great for what you are doing

@bohammarberg4072 Год назад

Happy Thanksgiving!❤️❤️❤️❤️

@boathead22000 Год назад

A firewood hauler.

@stonevalleyozark475 Год назад

I would have put a gusset on all of the tines.

@atlantaswelder Год назад

WOW!! Why pay when you can get it for free!! You crushed this build!! I recently built a "buck rake" very similar is style but yours is very well done 🎉

@jason27swg Год назад

Happy Thanksgiving

@JohannesRanda Год назад

you need to use spring steel for that.

@lukepearson1231 Год назад

Needs a grab attached to the top to help pick the loads up

@stevemench786 Год назад

I have a titan attachments manure bucket,I works freaking great.. With that said it is 6 foot 10 tines,the tines are round pointed and changeable. I have bent a tine or 2 kinda the nature of the beast.Like you just push down on a block and straighten it out. I have been able to get enough manure, urine soaked waste hay In/on the bucket it will pick up the rear end of my 45 horse loader tractor.. A little refinement and you'll have a very useful tool.

@bige.3474 Год назад

Instead of shortening the tines, you should have put cross bars between them. You actually really still need them. That's how I built a grapple bucket that I'm very happy with.

@berryb745 Год назад

the build is great, you need to round off the tips more, not so blocked off,like how you would whittling a stick, rounding off the prongs the entire length will improve it immensely.

@brandonfez9487 Год назад

Great job! Agree with the idea of rounding off the points. Either way, you'll get used to it the way it is.

@henrymorgan3982 Год назад

I think grinding the tips sharp would help in penetration power to ease the amount of tractor power needed. If that doesn’t work, I would eliminate every other tine. Great job!

@elbertfreeman8124 Год назад

Great job, keep them coming. The length of the video is great.

@doncc6080 Год назад

You can haul logs with it also

@dougdobbs Год назад

I wonder if having some tines longer and others shorter would work, sort of like the teeth on a excavator's bucket break up the soil and the rest scoops it up? Even though this implement didn't meet your expectations, I think it could still be improved to do the trick. Weld every third tine tip back on to extend it, see what happens. It might allow you to carry a bigger load. Might not work for reaching the back of the compost bin though. :( Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

@ddacombe4752 11 месяцев назад

thanks for sharing, i have the same horse manure problem and though about doing the same

@andrewl7467 Год назад

One other thing put a piece of flat steel 3-4 inches back from the point. On the top, it might give you some more strength in your points. I am sure you will be happy to have this for the goats pen. Now I bet you want a grapple on it next.

@tonywoodford8296 Год назад

Great job, need more of a point on the spikes then it should be a lot better 👍

@ianmurray9201 Год назад

finally you turned the acetylene off first. 😄👍

@petegraham1458 Год назад

I think it needs gussets on the tines and shorten every second tine by 1 third and it will likely work

@CountryViewAcres Год назад

I thought about the gussets, but I knew that would add a few more hours, so I didn't do it. I also considered alternating the tine lengths. I think my biggest problem, is I built the frame the same way a pallet fork would hook up to a quick attach. And it doesn't tilt back as far as I want. I should have put the quick attach plate on at an angle, so it could tilt back more.

@Bobs1Models Год назад

I think you need to put on round bar sections with long points great video

@jvin248 Год назад

Looks like you got it working as fine as most. We had a Ford 2N with a tined trip-bucket when I was a kid and yours is pretty close but has the advantage of quick-connect. It loaded a lot of cattle manure. Tines were more narrowed on the sides from the tips back to the rear wall. Some were bent too, lol. They may have had an inverted 'T' cross section so had a little flange on the bottom of each tine, but it's been decades since I was around that tractor.

@curtisaalbu4744 Год назад

It would be cool to add a grapple top piece to this.

@haroldhaugaard410 Год назад

If you start on the tip and taper on the top side of your tines going back in the same direction as your 45 degree taper, but change the taper. I drew a full scale side view and started the taper at 1/4" at the tip and went back 4" to the top of the 1 1/4" square stock. I believe the taper works out to be around 14 degrees. I think you have a good design but the taper needs to be quite a bit more. Good luck.

@matthewwarfield4302 Год назад

Nice try Evan! Just a few thoughts... 1) Are clapped out skid steer buckets too much money in your area? Would make a good start for future implements if you don't care about the cutting edge. 2) Cut back every other tine. Still gives you the depth and "holding capacity for the load. 3) Try dragging with the tines down instead of pushing. 4) Get or make a bucket level indicator for your loader. Looking forward to see what you come up with!

@thomasburton5843 Год назад

Sharpen points and the cut some triangle pieces and weld them from time to back plate for strength. On top of time standing up

@montana4939 Год назад

I would say impressive , good for you that you have the shop and equipment to work with so yeah looks like the shorter tines work well

@tanneradams20 Год назад

Manure forks work way better when the material is wet or compacted. I bet if or whenever you clean out the steer barn you’ll be impressed with your implements performance.
