I cannot thank you enough for this video! I'm a woman in my late 50's, we're harvesting our two pigs this weekend. My husband is physically limited in what he can do (recently lost all toes on his right foot due to diabetes), so a lot falls on my shoulders. I was able to build this tripod today, but I used the all thread with an 18 inch linked chain and a couple of quick links to hang from the all thread rod. I didn't realize how big this would be, but I am very pleased! I used a ¾ inch paddle bit instead of an auger bit, and while it took a while longer to punch through, it worked a charm. Thank you!
That’s awesome!!! Sounds like a great adaptation. I ended up buying a cheap electric winch to use install of the chain hoist. So glad it worked well for you!!!
Please do!!! I would get a cheap winch from harbor freight instead of using the chain hoist. Hang a pulley from the top and use the winch cable to hoist them.
@@HisWayHomestead thank you 🙏🏽 thank you 🙏🏽 thank you 🙏🏽 ☺️ I will sure do. My hogs are little. Won’t get more than 250; if I wait that long. They are best at 150 lbs. they’re American Guinea Hogs. That tripod and wench will make a much easier job out of it. I like how you have everything ready for that day lol
@@ChattieCathy71 I need to finish editing a video of our week of processing. It will be a premiere when I post it and there will be a livestream after so people can ask questions
Doug my friend you just fixed my problem that i needed a tri pod for my water well for possible cad time. If you don't mine i'm going to use your system and build one but smaller. 5 Star video.
@@HisWayHomestead Wow, thanks for the fast reply! I'm gonna give it a shot and see. I've been looking for something like this for quite some time. Best wishes sir.
