Well at least he has some extra chains through the sheet metal to carry the weight

From fb today. The good news is they plan on hooking a much larger tractor to it because it's hard to pull.

Hold on now....I didn't approve the chains and wimpy S hooks....how did that get there....it was perfect before that.

Bad news is he didn't listen, only made it to the nearest sharp corner.

I told him to brake, let the weight transfer forward and then turn when the front tires had some grip....didn't listen....

Maybe a weight distributing hitch next time? It's good to hear the rest of the well engineered setup worked out.

Yep, completely driver error

Yes, I'm that good

You must be the guy in the hat?

Ya gotta admit, the snowplow tool rest was inspired.

**ThorsHammer** · 10-08-2015

They needed to turn up the speed on their lathe.

Someone's taken the Red Green show to heart.

The guy in the video CAN'T be a true Canadian, he NEVER ONCE said AYE.

The way those rims are welded together has them wobbling since he didn't get them trued up straight. They are off some, like the guy in the video.

It always sounded like AYE to me, never was sure HOW it was to be spelled EH.

Either way it's spelled, you get my drift, right?

**VPT** · 10-08-2015

Yeah der A.

That would be the local Polish interpretation.

They did that on the Hillbilly Blood show. They also weld with car batteries in series.

The extreme 4X4 crowd are very proud of their ability to connect 3 car batteries together and glue* a broken [part] back together.

*I wouldn't really want to refer to it as "welding".

**mrolds88** · 10-09-2015

Yeah, I was waiting for the guy with the "lathe" to hit a knot or something and have that hunk of pipe to come up and smack him in the head.

**BrianC** · 11-22-2015

Not really a fail...........yet, but likely will at some point.. For sale locally as a stock car trailer, it has 3 sets of rear hubs off a small fwd welded to sq. tubing, no springs, this can be yours for $1650.00!
