After a failed attempt to move the chicken coop from my driveway to the back of my property I decided to ramp it up a notch! I bought 4 10" wheels and tires and turned my chicken coop into a truck of sorts. My initial idea was to use two hand trucks and strap them to the back of the coop so I could then use the tractor to lift the front. I then used a single hand truck to test the theory and while I could see I was on the right path, the idea definitely needed to be modified. Instead of two hand trucks (sometimes called dollies) I bought 4 wheels and tires and bolted them directly to the rear of the coop. Then the tractor did the rest. It worked.
The family and I bought chickens for the homestead and boy has it been a learning experience so far. But, that's exactly what we wanted. Experiences like this are worth their weight in gold.

That Coop Is pretty amazing looking. I'm reminded of that old saying, "An elephant is a mouse built to military specifications".

Would love to see a video where you show how to change and bleed brakes along with bleeding the master cylinder! Your instruction is usually awesome.

I would suggest coating the holes you made for the wheels in something to keep the boards from rotting

It is pressure treated wood but yes, I may do something like that.

You should of got old pallet and disassemble and get 2/4 cut to size of each 4x4 and layer them under so the ground will rott the 4x4.

If there is a attachment for tractor to have forks that would be even easier to move

4:26 You erred in the placement of this board. You have a knot, a good sized one, right at the most stressed area of the board (when in use), and you drove a screw into it, potentially making it weaker (acts as a wedge). Knots are hard and brittle, where lumber often cracks. Looks like this board should have been swapped end for end or at least move the knot to the top by rolling the board 180 degrees. Generally speaking, you should avoid driving a screw or nail into the area of a knot. I do like your idea to put duels on it though. Your transit with the tractor would have been easier with less length in the chain between the coop and the bucket. That would eliminate most of that swing you were getting. But..mission accomplished, good job Jimmy. Next up, Jimmy builds a sailboat in his basement.🤣😂😛

I think the chicken house should be closer to your house so you can better observe.

Good point. The thing is, now we can see out almost every window and check on them. 👍

I would add some concrete deck blocks so that the 4x4 posts dont rot out in a couple of years.

Mix some dawn soap and transmission fluid and mop the legs of the coop to protect them from water and insects.

Also if your going to keep wheels on that I'd try and press a copper pipe in the wood so steel bolt or axle won't eat at the wood

@nfraser7711 Жыл бұрын

I was wondering would it have been easier if you put wheels on the front as well so you didn't have to lift the front end

Love your videos Jimmy, but it just seems to be wasting valuable space under that nice carport cover.

@1RoadGarage Жыл бұрын

I think what’s wasting space is all the wood that is stacked up under there. I’m gonna clean that out. Thanks for watching! 👍
