We show you how we go about moving a 40 foot cargo container. It seems as though when you buy a large property you need more storage. We were lucky to have purchased property with a 40' x 8' shipping cube storage container on it. We need to move this conex container to a more convent location. To see how we go about that watch this video.

after seeing the amount of time and money you spent fabricating that and moving that I'll be happy to pay somebody.

Good stuff. I weld but don’t have the metal to make these nice dollies and sleds. My container is smaller so I’ll have to go the light rolling method.

@WorknDirt 2 жыл бұрын

sometimes you can find some good deals on metal on craigslist or facebook marketplace but good luck either way. be careful when rolling though cause the weight can be deceiving 👍 thanks for watchin!

Hello. I just watched a bunch of your videos about your 40 acre buy. Pretty cool 👍. I’m considering buying just about the same amount of acres. Mainly wanting them for hunting/fishing etc. From your experience would u say 40 acres is enough? Too much? Too little? ...also not sure if you’re uploading your videos to Facebook but I highly recommend it. I get paid through both but Facebook seems to pay better and seem to grow faster. Hope this helps. Take care 👍

@WorknDirt 3 жыл бұрын

Hey thanks for the video advice , we didn’t know FB pays! We’ll look into it. I’m not an avid hunter but I would assume 40 acres is the bare minimum to hunt land animals. My neighbor has 80 acres and it seems more plentiful. But if you have a river or pond you would be set with 40 acres. I don’t know hunting laws but I’m guessing if you cultivate your land to be attractive to animals then 40 acres should be enough.Do you know the rules? How much can you feed them or the track them? Thanks for watching!

@@WorknDirt no problem. Yeah Facebook starting paying in 2019. Some people don’t know. It’s a pretty open platform. I’ve taken some of my KZfaq videos, download them and just re uploaded them to Facebook. It’s been well worth it. I still post on here too. Thanks for the advice on the land. Yea I know about some hunting laws but there’s always grey areas and loop holes. God bless you guys, hope your home turns out just the way u guys want 👍

@WorknDirt 2 жыл бұрын

those dolly wheel sets are used on a tow system for cars. the put one on each side of the car and there are metal crossmembers that span the width of the car and support it. then i filled them with a solid rubber mix from a company that does that specifically. they also make wheels thay can hook into the corner of the container but they were a little more expensive , thanks for watchin!

Seems like a steel pipe would have been easier than the dolly. When I had my swim spa delivery they rolled it into place with some pvc pipes.

@WorknDirt 10 ай бұрын

you would have an have several steel pipes to continue placing them under as it rolls over. and the sled allowed a little resistance as it rolls down hill.. thanks for watching

@@beastofhumble cool! thats a good size, i would put some short chains on the back of your tractor to take the weight off the front of the container and then see if you can slip something under the back feet on the container so they dont act as brakes lol. Your tractor might be strong enough just to drag it on all four though. Low and slow!
