Can you use just 2 pieces of 2x4, one longer for the step-on lever, and the other shorter on the outside side? The hole for the wheel axle goes through on the flat surface, not from the joined sides of the 2x4s. Less material but same effect and I think it has even higher shear strength.
@@TheKraemerLife every time we go to Big Boys Country Kitchen in New Port coming from Greeneville I look for you guys trying to find that house of your neighbors on top of the hill. I do think you are on the mountain side where you can see it. We had to go by St. James and get something for a golf cart and looked for that house but didn’t see it.
Cool idea Nate. Only thing that would make it better I think, would be making it out of iron, (I feel that the wood may give out much quicker). If you were a machinist/welder, you probably would have tried that first. I wonder if you know someone that is a machinist/welder? Hmm? Maybe someone on RU-vid.
That's my next version for sure! I'm already thinking about modifications. Maybe this will be my gateway into metal work. If Ben weren't 2 hours away, I'd see if he could help. :)
I'm thankful you had the Shenanigans in the background. I have so missed them. They make part of your youtube. I love that you call them that. Please don't give them individual names. And please don't separate them. Could you every now and then let them out so they are following you or next to you when you sit down to video like you did today. Also if you don't want them under the trailer that you live in then put a fence around your RV. Those geese help make the show. I love them.....can you tell
Thanks for sharing your design and build, Nate. I'm sure this will help many others to have an easier time moving their coops. Great idea to be able to just take off the wheels to add to another coop without having to remove the whole assembly. I really think you have thought of everything. Have a Blessed day.
Man, you just saved me several hundred dollars! God Bless you and your wife. I can't tell you how excited I am for this video, I wll show this to my husband as soon as he gets home tonight. we have three coops right now and will have 6 in total by the end of the summer. this video is a live saver!!!!!
@KraemerLife How are your wheels working? I built the same chick-lift DIY solution as you did but my wheels are breaking at the axle point and literally fall off the rim after half a season. I haven't figured out if my wheels need more stability or if the coop is simply too heavy for their capacity.
Absolutely love this I've been struggling to move mine 🙄 lol, 🤔 have any ideas on how to add the front end of a bicycle to this for the front end? My brain just can't figure it out :/
would like to know if you plan on getting back into the house fixing soon? I think I'm not the only one since you have so many subscribers yet your watching amount has gone down drastically. I really like you guys but I am personally sick of chicken stuff as I think you are as well Nate. I would really like you to fix the water situation leading to your basement area where you have the freezers. Water is horrible for foundations and I know how hard you have worked to remedy the situation with the french drain and such!! Nate you really don't seem too happy these days. Please find your happy again!!
Thank you, Nate. We moved to west Tennessee a year ago June. We lived just a little northeast of Salem where I was born and raised. The lift you designed is awesome. I have family that owns Tigard Bowling Center and Pizza Caboose
I spent many days and nights at tigard bowl and pizza caboose! They were just up the road from my house. My mom used to play in a bowling league at Tigard Bowl and my brothers and I would play upstairs with our friends while our parents bowled.
Yeah! Great minds thinking alike 🤗, alas, mine remained stuck on the problem..!? 🤔😮😅 Great going, Nate 👌🏼 Less hair, more brainwaves (joke) 🙃👌🏼 Love the idea, especially using the lawnmower, instead of straining yourself, or leaving Katy watching from the sidelines. Great instruction/training video. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thanks for sharing 💞
Nice simple, but extremely effective lift design! I'll add that to the chicken tractor that we are currently building and let you know how well it holds up over the following year. Thanks again for sharing!
I made an enormous coop with attached run and tried to make it “mobile”. Huh!! LOL Disaster - just too much weight. It is a stationary coop now that got moved into place once with a tractor. I think you did an awesome job!!! Congrats!!
Awesome job on your cicken tractor. I can tell your mind is rarely vacant of ideas spinning around on how to work out problems.........this is awesome. Many moves of success for you both. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh
Nate, you have become the epitome of what we think of as a homesteader; you use what you have, as much as possible, to get a job done; you literally figure out solutions to whatever comes your way, all while teaching yourself new skills. 🙂 A true self-made man!
Wow what a great video, clear instructions 👏 I had noticed the screws on the drill ✔️ great idea having the magnet 🧲 👍 My Father and husband always had them in their mouth 😅 🇦🇺🦘🐨
