About:
Jason and Lorraine. In 2016 we sold most of our belongings and left the city in southern California to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. We left the city in search for a more minimal and intentional life. We became passionate about growing our own food and knowing what exactly is in our food after I (Jason) became diagnosed with cancer. Now 8 years in remission we as a family are on a journey to live our passions.
We document our life on RU-vid videos to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and not be afraid of change. We started our own online general store where we have available the things we make and use in real life. Thank you for following us on this incredible life changing journey!

This is AWESOME! This 67 yo grandma aged woman can actually do this now in her city yard where we are allowed 6 hens.

@andread8169 4 года назад

I love how excited Lorraine is for your upgraded chicken tractor! Upgrades can make the whole process so much more fun!

@paulwilliams4900 4 года назад

We just raised our first batch of meat chickens. We had to have our son move the tractor for us. This is a great idea for us older folks! Thank you for sharing!

@donaldmiller8629 4 года назад

Paul Williams , If you are building your own chicken tractors and they are too heavy maybe you can do as I have done. I make mine by using 2" X 3" in stead of using 2" X 4" . The 2" X 3" are quite strong enough for this purpose and are lighter in weight. I have even used 2" X 2" successfully . After all , it's just a box of sorts depending upon the style. If age matters , I am 77 1/2 years old.

@ldirk58601 4 года назад

I love these neat little inventions that make life so much easier!

@denisebrady6858 4 года назад

Jason I think it is worth the price as it means Lorraine can now move the chickens easily, this takes the stress off when you are away. I am 68yrs old & would definitely use that. Cheers Denise - Australia

Hi..... Jason and Lorraine, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐖🌱🎥👍👍👍

@SgtHopwoodofMarines 4 года назад

I just slide mine on skids. I cut some of that flexible pvc drain pipe (non corrugated) and fastened it where it goes over the back two corners of the frame (lengthwise) and it slides easily, even on dirt and rock.

@mar91942 4 года назад

I like that idea. I put 4 wheels on mine (each corner). If you have a bad back like I do then I definitely recommend more than just two wheels and a rope. So much easier to move. I love John's tractor. It's really easy to modify for your individual needs

@virginiareid5336 4 года назад

Thank you so much for sharing. That looks like something most people who raise meat birds need. Take Care.

@donaldmiller8629 4 года назад

My wife loves our chickens and wants to be involved with them on a daily basis. Including moving the chicken tractors which have no wheels. She can move them by pulling on a rope. But to make it easier for her , I attached two eye bolts to each front corner. One or maybe two dollars. A nylon tow strap with hooks on the ends. I think that was $9.95 . Hook onto the eye bolts , attach the tow strap to our lawn tractor ( my wife loops the tow strap around the back of the tractor seat ) and my wife moves the chicken tractors , easy peasy. No muscle strength required at all .

@annwithaplan9766 4 года назад

Thanks so much for showing where to get this thing that I asked about the other day. I know I'm not the only one who asked. I actually took a screen shot of it so I could look for it if you didn't answer back haha. My coop has wheels in back but one is flat and I'd rather it sits flat than off the ground leaving a gap. My problem is that it's too heavy to pick up in the front, and wish I had swivel wheels in front.

@paulrice1918 4 года назад

I view this product as a niche product something that people like Loraine that just cannot move the tractor without it. It seems very well made and easy to use. It's value likely will be based on need.

@drewblack749 4 года назад

A jack for the tractor. Brilliant!!

@lauriehughes8085 4 года назад

Great upgrade saving one back at a time. Your chicks look and sound so happy. Stay safe and have a great week.

@randyc754 4 года назад

Good piece of gear!

@Jrhnhemp Год назад

Just installed a Chick Lift on BOTH ends of my coop. My turning effort is minimal. Chick Lift has a caster wheel version but my double was a cheaper way to go. If I get another larger coop, the casters are definitely in my future. BTW… You will NEVER wear these lifts out! Love this product!

@gelwood99 4 года назад

The cost of easily moving a chicken tractor is worth the price. I have seen a lot of jury-rigged wheels that make it nearly impossible for women or older folks to move the tractor! Even being a SS monthly checks it would be worth a one time charge to make life easier with everything that needs doing! Thanks, Jason for putting this out there! Awesome! Something I will look into for next year's meat birds.

@alexregonly 4 года назад

They need to figure out a bracket system where an inexpensive bracket can be attached to each tractor and you move one wheel set from tractor to tractor...

@slothwoodcraft 4 года назад

Amazing little gadget

@ShaneZettelmier 4 года назад

Cool. Usually I would never buy anything like that because it’s such an easy thing to engineer but that works really really well, it’s a great design.

I was excited when I saw this! But $155 is a little much but is cheaper than the $500 everything else for the homestead is 😂😂😂

@pollyanne9973 4 года назад

Really useful gadget for moving chook tractors and well designed. No doubt the price will go down in time.

@jerrygibs8120 4 года назад

The chicken tractor wheel bracket is a great share and will save a lot of backs. ☝🙏💪👉...

@HomesteadingCityStyle 4 года назад

Awesome, I think if you cut the 2x4’s off where the old wheels were , it will even be easier bc those pieces are sticking out past the new wheels. Just a thought!!!

@lechatbotte. 4 года назад

Nice heavy duty kotter pin. I am liking this.

@janetwithers7427 4 года назад

What a great addition to the chicken tractor. I loved Lorraine's reaction to the new wheel system. :-)

@dianeblack8849 4 года назад

each new thing to make life easier..well, a little easier.

@TinaThevarge 4 года назад

Genius! Going to have to write that in my future shopping plans. Maybe as an auto-reset install a spring or a small chunk of scrap wood above it to bounce the step plate back down into place, ready for next time.

@noellucganachaud3983 3 года назад

just an idea dude you could add on a piece of wood where you have bolted on the new wheel so that the wheel lifts the tractor a little higher ?? so it is a little easier to pull and use the outer wheels aswell..just an idea ...cool vids bro ..love the vlogs peace

@pamelagray4999 2 года назад

Just got mine ! Going to try it out this weekend 💕

@benjaminvanlandingham5568 Год назад

@scrapshackfarms1349 4 года назад

Thank you so much, I asked and you answered. My tractor weighs so much and you made it look simple to move, definitely buying 1 for each tractor!

@TOMMYBITESTVHOMESTEAD 4 года назад

I love that idea

@annmerrill797 4 года назад

I feel ya! We live on rough terrain so moving a chicken tractor is a challenge especially in the rainy season. Mud runs don't have anything on homesteading. Lol. This is similar to what I am having my husband help me fabricate for our chicken tractor. He taught me how to weld but there's still a lot to learn. We are going to use old boat trailer jacks. So if you run across those freebies and know how to weld...it would be an option especially on a tight farm budget. Thanks for sharing!

@johnkeyes8699 4 года назад

Excellent product. So sad people are complaining about the price. Homesteading is for years, not the moment. Figure it out. $150.00 for 10 years is $15/yr.....WELL worth it. Great video Jason and it will encourage Lorraine to help anytime. Love her enthusiasm....Nice...

@JerryB507 4 года назад

This unit should save about 1 minute per move, 30 seconds each to put the wheels on and take them off. Say Jason moves the tractor 1 time a day average. Over 10 years that's 60 hours more he can spend with Lorraine and Penelope doing fun things like picking garlic. Now, think about it from a labor cost. If I value my time at a mere $15hr, that's $900.00, or a savings of $710.00.

@YourAverageWitch 4 года назад

That's REALLY neat. If we were planning on doing traditional tractors we'd totally be considering them.

@abaddon2479 4 года назад

Well as soon as I get a tractor built I'll order one Jason. That's awesome

@edwarnock4534 4 года назад

Thanks for posting this Jason. Could be used for a lot of stuff that is heavy and awkward to move.

@heatherplummer4129 3 года назад

Ordered👍 thanks Jason. I’m going to try to add this to my steel rabbit tractor my husband built. Oklahoma has some wonderful winds! The pen never blows away but it difficult to move each day. Hoping this or a pair of them will solve my troubles.

@guitguy6579 4 года назад

@droptozro 4 года назад

Definitely getting one of these. I have one tractor with a coop portion up top and I built it way too heavy! I can move it little by little myself side to side but for longer moves I have to hook up my riding mower. Thanks for showing and reviewing this.

@donaldmiller8629 4 года назад

droptozro , I also have two story chicken tractors. What's wrong with hooking up to your lawn tractor ? That is my method. Two eye bolts and a tow strap with hooks. My wife easily moves our chicken tractors with no wheels at all because she loves driving the riding lawn mower. I have been experimenting with lighter materials. 2" X 3" work just as well and 2" X 2" also work. It's just a box after all . A bear might be able to break a 2 X 2 but bears generally stay far away from humans. They would be more likely to pull the 1/4" hardware cloth loose.

@rodmackinnon8497 4 года назад

The same principle as the rollers on my workbench, tramp them down, then move the bench, tramp them again, the workbench is solid on the floor. Cheers.

@ABlueDahlia 4 года назад

And sometimes tools are worth their price in gold when it means that everyone in the house can participate in the duties or if it makes their life more simple enabling them to do more things.. especially on something that you interact with a regular basis.

@StoneKathryn Год назад

Love this guys! I bought one through your link. I got to look at this to see how to mount it. It's great! It was getting too hard to pull my Joel Salatin chicken tractor and now it's much easier. They really don't show how to put the lift on anywhere but here. The washers I got were big enough that the bolt head was almost through the washer hole. It didn't make much sense. Maybe they couldn't find the bigger washers like you had? They are still just painted. Mine is already starting to rust. Thanks for showing us this product.

@shannonschimkens7261 4 года назад

I use a heavy duty dolly. Did it all through my pregnancy with chickens then turkeys.

@graniteridgegreens6278 4 года назад

Yup way too much money till you throw your back out then you would be saying $155, I should have spent that money! Easy to say I could just make this after seeing the simplistic way it is built! I like the ingenuity but I love that You guys got to debut it . Cheers and Peace Out

@amechelb 4 года назад

Right one chiropractic appt is $40-$50 and they’ll only last you until the next time you move your coops vs. this thing that will last you for years and years 🙄

@JerryB507 4 года назад

It's $190 with shipping for one. Think not only of your back, but the cost of moving that tractor. If it saves you one minute per move and it lasts 10 years, that's 60 hours saved. On my "farm" I value my labor at a mere $15hr, so this will save me $170 over the 10 year life. My side gig farm isn't profitable enough to give up my real world job and I have no skills at making content for RU-vid.

@FourHensandaGarden 4 года назад

@bradtaulbee8620 4 года назад

@alliebagwell9653 4 года назад

@2friesshortofabigmac407 4 года назад

price point nearer 100 with tires and all would be better that way he can profit as well.. after all the tires bolts washers ect ect are all included.. after all tires alone are 20.00 still too steep for me but a better price
