Good morning Ben, you've done that 'a time or two'. Excellent system getting the docks into the water using the B2601 TLB. Really need to watch that your hand doesn't get pinched when latching the docks together, hence doing it when the water is calm. Have a good one!

Ben, that surely was quite a bit of work maneuvering. How often do you do this? It's definitely a job requiring time and patience. Each time you have to be awfully careful that you do not damage your docks, skids, tractor, or yourself. Nicely done. Enjoyed a full-watch. 👍🏽🤠 05/15/24

Hey Ben, Are you working or playing? That is a nice dock. How is the dock secured to the shore? You seem to have a good system for launching and recovering the floating docks. I guess the tractor makes it child's play. LOL Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
@whenworkisplay23 күн бұрын
Good evening Bob, on the shore end of the system there is an 8' by 8' box built from railway ties and filled with stone.Attached to that is a gang plank which is attached to the floating docks. This allows the floating docks to go up and down with the tide. About 7' where we live. Everything attaches with pins similar to attachments on the tractor. My next video I will show the dock. Thanks so much Bob, I really appreciate your inquiry. Have a great weekend, Ben 👋😎👍🍻
@GrampiesWorkshop24 күн бұрын
How's she goin'? That's quite the procedure you have for putting the docks in. But it sure works smooth especially with having the skids for each dock. They sure are beefy!! BTW, what is the hoist and the barrel used for? That looked interesting. I bet you have some nifty use for that!! Thanks for posting Ben. Spring time is a busy time. Take 'er easy!!
@whenworkisplay24 күн бұрын
Good evening Mike, you are the only person to ask about the hoist and barrel. We use that float to dry dock our runabout. If you look at the float before it goes into the water you will notice that most of the floatation is in the center. This allows the float to tip and become a ramp when we haul the boat onto it. Once the boat is on the float we hoist the barrel which is full of water and it acts as a counter balance and levels out the float. This way the float sits level with no wood in the water. Thanks Mike! Have a great weekend, Ben 👋😎👍
@GrampiesWorkshop23 күн бұрын
@@whenworkisplay Ya see, I knew you would have a neat idea for having the hoist!! That's is an awesome idea. Our docks used to be floating too, but way to tippy and so I ended up putting them on sawhorses. Thanks!!
