Those two instructional videos at fast speed were Fantastic, because Im a visual learner not a reader, I got the whole thing down, straight away, it all looked so simple and straight forward, excellent, and little short cuts you did I didnt know of, like spot welding the tube to the table to weld it instead of clamping it, was great, I can wait to start my trailer Dolly, im planning to put an electric motor and battery on mine,, Great Work

Great project, very nice and useful! If you cut a gear with plasma cutter machine and weld it on one of wheels and connect with a chain on a small DC motor and a small battery you will push/pull easier the trayller. Congrats!!

Great video, had me on the edge of my chair all the way (until I nearly fell off). Very well presented too. I've gotta make a decent welding table first, then the great trailer dolly. Thanks kindly John, nice work.

I actually like the design! Gives me a few ideas for my lawn tractor! Thanks for the video!

I sure wish that I had a shop like this one! Man-o-man, the things that I could get done... but amazing work and amazing talent!!!

Top videos very useful and no crap well done thanks

Very clever idea I love it. Very well mate great skills there👍

Great! Love the fast forward speed.

Great job, John. I need to do some modifications to my Harbor Freight one, and you just gave me a lot of ideas. Thank you!

Shift the center of gravity forward or backward from the dolly wheels, add a heavy duty caster wheel. This will stabilize the dolly allowing you to spend less energy stabilizing the dolly and more on moving the trailer.

Good idea with the cart! Class!

Ficou muito bom. Parabéns pelo trabalho e vídeo.

Really nice job. Nice welding work. I have a small PWC trailer I have modified for a kayak. I'm 71 and as light as it is, it's a real pain to move from my side yard to the driveway when I want to work on it or hook it up to my truck to go fishing. This is exactly what I was looking for. Now all I need is a $100,000 shop to build it in. Anyway, thanks for posting.

That is ingenious! You should definitely mass produce you sir have a winner

nicely done, you can sit back at the end of the job and pick at it but it's still a very useful piece of kit well done

Thanks for the share. I have a similar motorized version in the works to overcome a nasty hump in my back yard. Nice finish, did you powder coat it?

Just wanted to say this video was handy as a guide to build my own. I don't have a plasma cutter, so it just takes a bit longer to make the parts. All in was about 4 hours building it with a few beverage breaks thrown in. Thanks for posting it.

Excellent Video! Slomo is all we need, wish all posters would adopt this technique. Now I have to make one,

Real nice build!

This is so much better than the April Wilkerson "blah blah, look at me do this in my shorts with other people's money" stuff. You're a skilled craftsman. Thank you.

I need to make something similar to move my tandem trailers. Looks like your drill bits could do with sharpening.

Wish I could work that fast, thanks looks great!

Sencillo, practico y bien hecho. Gracias por compartir

How about adding a small motor(just thinking) of some kind to help with the load,but it's Kool anyhow!

Great build, really like the way you made the video go fast. Your attention to detail is excellent. I really like the smooth welds you lay down. What welder do you have? You are an awesome fabricator!

EXCELENTE TRABAJO LO FELICITO MUY PROLIJO

Great job. Video and the dolly. If you added a small DC motor with a two way switch that would make moving around even easier. As your not going around the block a small setup would work well.

Great vid and work! Thanks!

Nice work. Just curious though, why you welded the handlebar to the end of the arm? It would be stronger if you drilled a through-hole through the end of the bar, run the round bar through, then welded it up and made a cap patch for the end. Just a thought. But it came out really nice, and great work on the video (though I did cringe when you set the spinning grinder down. ;-))!

Thanks for posting. Don't try to move too big a load by yourself.

Thank you for sharing.

Very good. I live in Brazil. My english is no good.. Your work is fantastic.

Quedo mejor que de fabrica buen trabajo :)

You could use those 'cosmetic holes' to attach a short foot for resting the dolly on the ground. That would help prevent dirt attaching to the towball and end up inside the coupler. Modifying one of those folding door stoppers found on places like Amazon might be a quick way of going about it.

Will you add a back bottom bar for setting the unit down

The craftsmanship looks great. If I built it, it would work but it would look like heck. Patience would help. Lol...

I like the idea and will modify it with a third, swivel wheel in front and the ball offset slightly forward for stability, easier pushing and possibly using my small lawn tractor as a trailer tug.

Thank you. It is a Miller 251 MIG

That is crazy trailer, man 😯😯😯😯

приспособа (приспособление) прикольная, а права купил?? машиной загнать прицеп никак???

Моторчик приладить и будет счастье!!! *_;-)))_*

great idea! i noticed some gas tanks in the background of your garage while grinding and welding.... :)

excelente trailer desde argentina le voy a copiar su idea esta increible

Hard on the ground to move the trailer?

Great videos. I'm definitely building one of these soon. I have two trailers and really need a dolly. What grey paint did you use? It looks great. Also, you mention using a wide wheelbase. Wouldn't anything larger cause interference with the A-frame of the trailer tongue? I suppose not only if it is jacked up high enough. I would think 24" might be overkill and takes up more storage space. I'd think maybe 18" would be ideal. Thoughts?

Excelente. No hace falta dialogo! Saludo!

You should make and sell these. Very Nice Job.

Parabéns meu amigo 👍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👍👍😄

Well done on this Vid. i have made one of these too. Basically the same as yours. One of the best things i ever did...Thanks!

very good job, congratulation

I love it. As an older guy though, it may need more muscle than I have. Have you got one where you added a small motor?

dang.. i had to pay $230 shipped to get what you miad.. you saved cash.. i wish i knew how to weld opens all kinds of possibilities... also the room to do it.

if you were to build another one, a thought would be make the section that you can raise and lower, have a 1 7/8" ball on the other side so you could just flip the piece over. Not sure that would work but just an idea.

EXCELENTE. GRACIAS.

Very useful. I have to make one similar for my trolley.

i did make one of this for 30 year's ago, i did also make one with 6 wheel's you cut put under a car behinde or infront, and 1 man cut lift up the car in one end, and coneckt it to the hug and drive away with both cars.

Hi,wouldn't it be easier to copy the design of one that is sold in the shops?

everything looks possible, but those plasma squares are out of the posibilites of all of us, anyway great job!!

sir, your job very clean.

very nice

I think an electric motor geared way down to drive those wheels would be great in soft soil. Nice build though. Thanks!

What did that cost you to make? I’m wondering if I should buy one? I don’t have all the tools you do.

Wow, I am pleasantly surprise with the work overall, from cutting, bending and welding. I am not sure if the poster is in the welding business but it is clear he has plenty of knowledge on how to go about building a dolly and attaching its components. In spite of the snags he mentioned I wonder if wider diameter for the axel and bigger wheels from Marathon not Harbor Freight will give you a better and solid traction.

Hey John, where did you buy the metal table?

good job!

Really nice I like it

Very nice!

well done! congrats!

What kind of device is used for plasma opening, it seems to be manual, not CNC plasma cutting?

I just got one on 3/17/2020 for $39.99 + tax on sale from Harbor Freight with a coupon. The only thing the tires needed a little air. Could have came with a few more washers. Easy to put together. The ball is only a 1 7/8 ". I need a 2" ball.

الحمد الله من طارة الطيارة

I could use the exact same thing for moving my boat around the driveway.

Thanks! great idea, not sure why you made the handle solid rather than swiveling . . . maybe not a problem . . . ok, now I see why, nvm

muy bueno. felicitaciones.

Muy buen proyecto, qué tipo de máquina de soldar usaste y cuál es el nombre de la cortadora que parecía que soldada? ,te felicito es lo padre de tener buenas herramientas.

Just as a suggestion in the uk we fit jockey wheels to our caravans and trailers as well as having the leg on the other side would it be worth fitting a jockey wheel and you can push it with ease

THANKS YOU THIS VÍDEO WELCOME TO BOGOTÁ DC COLOMBIA 🇨🇴🇨🇭.. THAT'S RIGUT

nice..hub motor, controller & a battery tray would be a nice upgrade if you found yourself using it more frequently

MASTER!!!

Молодец, мужик!

Superbes soudures....superbe idée 🇺🇸🇫🇷👏🏆🥇♥️

The problem with the rims is that they're 2 pieces and bolted together. If you cut out a ring on your CnC and use longer bolts that should stiffen them up. That's if you haven't replaced them by now...LOl. They're meant for hand trucks and they are pretty weak.

How thick is the steel on your welding table?

is that a harbor freight welder? if so which one?

Do you sell these?

can i make one suggestion, add an electric motor or winch to it

나한테 꼭 필요한 아이템👍

那个等离子开孔 用的什么设备，貌似是手动的，不是数控等离子切割？

Muito bom,

If you built the dolly to fit over the tongue jack without the wheel, the dolly would be more stable when you're pushing the trailer put an second jack that swings up and out of way to help lift the tongue.

fantástico. show.

Колеса надо поставить побольше!

Very nice job! U can get away up and down moviment on your arms ,just with other 2 wheels on your project. Sorry but i couldn't resist to tell you.

En mi pueblo se monta una rueda jockey y solución arreglada. Tampoco le voy a quitar el mérito al paisano x el invento, pero vamos....

Nice Job on your trailer dolly. Looks like you've got some skills. Being I would guess about 40 years your senior, your methods reminded me of my self when I was your age. I enjoyed watching, but I would have done a few things differently, like running the single tube without the receiver tube. But you did point that out. Wish I had a plasma, but what can I say, I learned to use a torch, and I must admit, I was pretty good! Keep on keepin on young man. I hope to have as many subs as you do one day! Razor!

Muito interessante. ..Parabéns

Очень здорово

Неплохо!

Awesome

Motorizing the dolly will make your life easy and save your spine and muscles from strain.
