Small bench vise is a necessity. Get a solar motion led light. Put the panel on the roof and then install light inside. I have them on farm buildings with no power so when you go in them at night you have light as soon as you open the door. Super bright too. Hanging rack on door for extensiin cords, booster cables, air hose. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS!!! A little spray glue then your drawer liners will stay put.

Paint the interior a light colour it will help keeping it bright inside

we just run a steel rod in front of the drawers welded a small braket on top of the toolbox and drill a hole on the 2x4 on the floor

Hinge a piece of 3/4 inch plywood from the floor up to hold all the drawers in place when travelling, and hook it up to back wall. When working in trailer just leave plywoood down on floor and stand on it.

Hey Mike, you should paint your floor first with a good quality floor paint. This way it will protect your floor and easier to clean. See ya.

Nice shop trailer Mike! Might consider the top 4-5 common repair tasks and equip it for those... and go from there. I'm thinking emergency repair work will be done with this trlr... routine planned maintenance will be done elsewhere. Maybe some form of lift jack. a tow strap - chains, heavy tools-crow bar, sledgehammer, shovel.....ample inside and outside lighting. Supply of lubes, starter fluid, common wear parts, fuses, and handy items like paper towels, and glass cleaner.) Battery grease gun, battery impact wrench, air compressor. generator, battery charger, Might think about emergency items... first aid supplies, skin/eye flushing. Maybe a set of inclement clothes -rain - cold weather gear. Is this helpful??

An all weather outlet on the back of the box to feed power from the generator into the box. Some exterior work lights. How about a water tote and electric power washer to clean off bird poo and the like? :)

You will need some ventilation for sure; It’s fine right now, but in the Summer with the door closed, it’ll easily get to 120 degrees Fahrenheit inside that bad boy.

Instead of putting oil inside the trailer,make a cage in the extra space between the fuel tank and def tote. Put pails on the bottom and jugs higher up,kind of like what you have on the spray trailer. Will keep the mess on the outside of the mini shop.

Mike get a noco boost, for jump starting, Get 3 rods, drill holes in 2by4 on each row of drawers set rods in holes, then 3 latching mechanisms up top to hold rods in place for keeping drawers closed, thanks for sharing,

I'd replace the toolbox wheels with some wood blocks and bolt it down. That way you don't loose any height and it's secure in place

A flat screen t.v. a couple of lawn chairs and a Tassimo are my two cents worth. 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Best place we found to mount in those trailers is on the floor. The walls will hold a bit but maybe shelves mounted to the floor and secondary mounting to walls

Nice trailer, consider, 1. Flooring tiles, as used in garages. Better, and more comfortable footing. 2. Melamine, panels on wall and ceiling. 4x8 sheets. Simple screw attachment, or glue. Washable, and will reflect much light. 3. Led lighting in ceiling. 12 volt. Trailer will be great asset. Good job

You are so fortunate . I have been saving for years for a tool box.

Mount a big vice onto something that will slide into a stake pocket on the trailer, if you need to persuade something with a large hammer it needs to be sturdy and you can't skimp on the size of the vice

take the wheels of the tool box and build a frame from 4x4 to set the box on. You're going to get tired of crawling on your hands and knees to get that 10mm socket that rolls under the cabinet if you leave the wheels on LOL

I would put a solar panel with battery system, on the top of the shed unit to run the lighting and charging of drill batteries. Which may be able to run the gas pump instead of running the generator for that all the time. Likely still needing the gas generator at times for the air compressor

Looks good Mike. Vice would be good on the toolbox. Double Sided 3M tape and some Velcro would help keep things in place inside the drawers. Especially the foam tool holders. Get a thin 3/4 piece of foam and cut to the drawer size then cut out for a spot to put all pliers. The won’t roll around in the drawer and you can easily see which one has disappeared.

Flexible exhaust joints and run it out side either through the floor or wall for the generator. Also get a small oxy acceteline/ lpg plant

Nice looking rig 👌... you'll need angle brackets fixed to the toolbox and the wall so the toolbox does topple over if you brake hard. Maybe could use a bench vice also?

The screw at the top should be fastened into a vertical upright. If you remove the horizontal luan wood strip you will see where the other screws are for the vertical framing. I used a system for a few things in my enclosed trailer called e-track many options.

Hey Mike, to keep the tool bench closed you could glue magnets on the inside and on the tray. This way it just takes that bit extra of force to open.

Lots of good ideas here👍removable bolt binn drawers filing cabinet style is a must for me

Not sure if I'm jealous or just amazed of how much money these farmers spend. Its never ending spend spend spend.

Nice looking trailer Mike

🔥right on Mike.. sweet trailer setup man 🔥👊🔥🔨🏍⚙️🚜. Take out bottom drawers, ready rod through bottom off box and tie into subframe 🔥

The whiteboard will be very helpful. That way, you can write what machine you had to maintain more than normal. Maybe a tool that you don't have but need.

Draws can b kept in place by 3 vertical bars in the middle of each row of draws. You need a detachable outdoors vice for stuff to big to go indoors , also perhaps a drop down outdoor workbench and also 4 halogen worklights that are adjustable on roof or side for doing repairs in the dark.

I think maybe some wall mount locking cabinets to put like your lubricants in. Maybe look in to some sort of wall floor crate that you can put gas cans coolant jugs or hydrolic oil buckets in. Hanging hooks for power cords and air hoses or what have not.

We put our toolbox on 2x6’s on edge running front to back. One on each end, one in the middle, then 1/2 or 3/4” plywood across. Tool box on top of that. It keeps that space free for tools/parts, etc. Also, we drilled a hole in the plywood centred in front of each column of drawers. The we run a rod down through an eyelet in the top workbench, down in front of the drawers.

Nice trailer Mike!! Since you seem to be a Milwaukee fan, I would suggest buying a couple pack out large wall plates and mount them to the wall. Then you could add different sized pack out organizer toolboxes to hang on there for misc. parts, bolts, etc. That way you can just pluck them off the wall and take them to work on equipment or whatever. Love your videos, anxious for planting season!!

Mike my opinion it’s still worth it to have a little light above the tool box since you are going to have to have power to run the pumps and I would use some sheet metal and hinges and make a little door system on the front of it you can lock it and the drawers don’t come open

First . Thanks for the interesting videos. Suggestion, screw 2 2*4s to the floor and drill 1 inch holes and stick a 1 inch pipe in them so the boxes are locked in transport...

The little bolt bin rack and a mid size bolt draw organizer that you can get at Canadian tire mounted on the back wall above the tool box might work good, or on the side wall by the door.

I have a 16’ cargo trailer with a battery and two inside lights. Every year I say this is the year I’m going to install clear running lights every 4’ or closer all the way around so that at night I can see where I’m walking. The outside of the cabin part gives you good height for brighter lights for night work.

Telescoping outside work lights. For late night repairs. Extention cord reels for the generator. Metal storage cabinet for inside instead of shelves.

Great video Mike

Led rope lights or strip lights across each cross member along the roof and down the walls by the tool box would work amazing, wire the trailer light harness with the 7 pin and use 12vs from it to power all the lights. Vise outside on removed stake pocket and lien the other guy said Milwaukee pack outs for bolts and some other tools to bring to the equipment to work on, also maybe a floor jack or bottle jacks would be handy to have along with some big timbers

Us general toolbox’s from harbor freight have latches on each drawer

For the walls, run a skeleton frame of tubing similar to what is on the roof vertically and attach to the roof tubing and the floor. Then you can attach some 3/4” plywood to the wall tubing to which you can attach any shelving that you install. Sure, you lose a couple inches inside doing it this way but no worries as to where you can hang anything you want.

Hey Mike. Get 2 4 by 4 the depth of the tool box. Jack up the tool box and slide the 4 by 4 under then drill through everything and bold down.

white board, shelves, for wire storage you could take a piece of pipe and some screw eyes for holding rolls of wire,, milk crate or bin for the bolts with bags inside, consider looking into metal pegboard, i would look at generator inverter setup so you have power with a solar panel on the roof. i would make sure to take the handle off the tool box and put on a prybar rack...angle iron would work to store them standing up, for storing the power tools you can take some pvc pipe and cut it out for handles so they could be mounted to a wall or shelf

You could put a hose reel on the wall for when you need air. Or you could hang the hose reel on the door if it is strong enough to hold it.

3/4” dowel into holes in the 2x4 you put on floor . Will hold drawers shut. Then just pull the dowel out to open drawers. Run one strap across top if it bends

Vertical boards on the walls to hold the toolbox in place, then hinge covers around to hold the drawers

For my trailer lighting I bought some 12v stick up strip lights off Amazon.

Looks good . Still room for air compressor in there.

Larger generator with a cover, outside on the deck with 110 power bar inside, to reduce noise. Simple LED strip light on the ceiling. Tarp straps on the front of toolbox to keep doors shut. Simple and easy to replace. Small white board behind the man door, to make notes. I can see the single jack being a problem, because farmers never overload a trailer! Lol

with your shelving I would make them on wheels and so you could fit them through the door, then when you switch from planting to spraying to combining you just unsecure them roll them to the door pick'em out with skid steer or forklift load up another set with your parts for sprayers or combine.

Wire it up and do some exterior work lights and look at Milwaukee packout for organization for parts, bolts and etc

2x6 base for the tool box, then run some vertical bars to hold the drawers closed. Would definitely put a light over the bench and vise like someone else commented. Biggest thing is just figuring out the sub structure so you know what you can actually do.

We’ve got a picker arm on ours. It has come in handy here and there.

I would take the toolbox back, and buy a better box (Monetzuma?) with positive door latches. Nice addition to your operation.

2 x 4 frame on floor to support tool box and remove wheels. Wheels give too much point load on floor when box full of tools. Spray adhesive the mats in the box or use double sided tape. Fire extinguisher near door. Glue wood to wall the full width of the inside and use this for anchoring brackets to hold box in place.

Check dirt bike trailers. Inside I'd add lights, tie down points on the floor ( tie the compressor down & anything else heavy ). Outside Flood lights on the outside ?, Maybe an awning ( shade in summer/rain ). I'd metal strap the draws ( mount pt top/bottom wood w/ clips ). T-bar rack ?

Hand washing facilities, so under rated

In my opinion..... For drawers take ou that matting and use heavy duty velcro or magnets on the back of the foam tool holders to the bottom of the drawer, shouldnt move around then For drawers to not open, guy could screw a small peice of angle iron with a hole drilled in it then run a rod though it down to the floor, easy to put in and out and would stop drawers from opening up Nice trailer mike id love to have one like that one day

Maybe a job site box on the back as well for bigger parts for your drills to keep the clutter out of the room.

Mike. What about taking a piece of 3/4" plywood and put a channel on each side that will allow the plywood to slide up and out. Keeps drawers closed and can all some kind of legs to it so it can be used as a portable table outside too

Solar panel on roof with battery abd switches. You need some outside lights aswell to the back and side

Led light strips all the way around. You can put it up behind your bench so it lights them up and do it in your shelves. You can get pretty bright ones and they dont use much power

Weld a loop at the top and bottom of the box it will probably take a total of 6 then slide a vertical rod through the loops. when you want to open the draws just pull the rod up and out of the loops. Very simple and very easy.

Stanley tools are my favorite!

Put the toolbox on 4x4’s and it’ll last longer than on wheels. Then you can use 1” sheet metal screws and go on the wall studs. They run vertically but they cover the crews with that thin tack trim that’s on tue walls. Just for looks. E-track is your friend on tue walls. Helps distribute weight and then go and get you the e clip accessories. There are hundreds of different kinds from pegs to loops to brackets.

Because the weight of fuel tank will change according to daily volume & all the tongue weight due to tools & supplies possibly consider the Reese Dual Cam Anti Sway Load Equalizer Hitch System with 1,000 lb arms. Once you have had one of these systems on a trailer the investment will be totally appreciated due to how well a trailer pulls & stays straight in line.

Mike,make one hook above of the tool box and one on the bottom floor in the center and simply strap it with ratchet strap every time you are on the move. It's simply to remove it,takes no too much extra time.

Might be worth putting some tool boxes/ Job box on the back corners of the trailer to put the Drill stuff on one side and maybe oil on the other. Would take a bunch of clutter and weight out of the inside of the trailer.

Leave the wheels on and build a set of raiser blocks to sit it on. Then but set of vertical posts on the blocks to keep the draws closed.

i highly recommend a diesel fired bunk heater i had 2 in a 18ft sled ding enclosed trailer and in -30 type weather it would keep it above +15c was heaven in winter to camp in or get dressed in winter or just work on something i had the actual webastco brand ones but they have cheaper options on amazon even ones with a fill housing and little fuel tank

Exterior. Extra tote with 40 or more gallons of water to fight fire and clean hands etc Bigger generator to avoid gas fumes. Rack behind enclosure for towing straps , cribbing/jackstands. Large adjustable flood lights on all for corners. Interior . Airhose hose reel. Looks like a sharpie mark at the roof behind the cabint to show metal studs. Outside should be rivets locating them as well. 2 in webbing to hold the cabinet up high. 4x4 to hold wheels. 2 thin boards trapped behind webbing above and 4x4 below to hold drawers shut. Minimum of two 4ft prybars. Bolts in tubs on floor. First aid kit with saline solution for eyewash ,eyes are irreplaceable. Cut off jack handle weld 3/4 nut in its place.weld 3/4 socket to handle . A cordless drill (do not use an impact) with a 3/4 socket in low...to raise the jack easily. Mount a vice on trailer somewhere convenient. Attach spare tire. Alway carry an 6x6 with a steep angle cut on all multiple axle trailers. When you have a flat,simply pull a good tire up the incline to elevate the flat. And change the tire,flip block sideways to set the jack on while unhooking. Knipex plierswrench, 4ft minimum prybar,electrical tape and zip ties gets you out of many bad situations! Microwave inside if you want fancy food like hotpockets😅

Small beer fridge might come in handy :)

Definitely more light. If you're going to pull that trailer with a half ton you already pushing the weight limit already but I was a farmer ounce so I know about the farm weight limits to😉

Iv seen some sweet farm units made from mini semis’s freight liners or peterbuilts, big service body with built in tanks for fuel, oil and Def, gen sets, way better then a trail IMO

Looks like your studs are in line with your roof members. You could put a 2x4. Or 2x8 on the to stop your tool box from moving. Stopping the drawers from opening is your biggest problem. I have done this in a cube van trying to remember to lock the drawers every time and you will forget. If that big top drawer has anything heavy in it you will be buying a new drawer for sure. I have custom built a number of trailers and vans

Maybe you can use a hot wire foam cutter to make the foam thinner. I think a lot of it is just to make it stronger, but if you just leave it in the drawer it should be fine if it’s a little weaker than usual. Another option is to make your own foam cutouts but I think could take a lot of time.

We took the wheels off and used square tubing. Used the wheel bolt holes and bolted the tubing through the floor.

Milwaukee stack packs have wall mounts XS batteries, LED shop lights solar panel to keep the batteries up. sheet of plywood the with of the trailer and 2 x 4 on the walls put the plywood in front of the tool box with the 2 x 4 s holding the plywood in place then just slid it up when you need to get in the box.

In the category of awesome would haves: Something like a Jackery battery pack with a solar panel attached flat on the roof. This way you have power for your essential Tassimo. :D

Probably leave the wheels on the toolbox but mount it on some wooden blocks next to the wheels & bolt it down through the floor. Maybe consider a water tank alongside the fuel & def tanks, if you have a steel tank you won't need a waterpump as you can use the aircompressor to pressurise the tank enough to get a good blast of water from the hose, an ideal firefighting rig especially for internal combine smoldering. Apart from spares & tools you'll need oils & petrol too. Lastly would a solar panel or two on the roof keep a couple of large batteries charged, used with an inverter it should run a coffee machine & maintain Suzy & Sally along with you phone as you can never have enough charging leads.

Over here in South Australia, two months no rain, and a week at almost 40.

Mike you need some pins from the bottom to the blade and you can lock them.😉

Just put a E track against the back wall where that strap is And another on the 2 x 4 you’re gonna put in and just use the clip in straps

Few things Take wheels off put on blocks, use angle iron to mount box to blocks . Then you can mount 1" strap to angle iron Think about 55gal. Antifreeze In front of Fuel tank, power washer with tank to clean all the bird stuff Shelf should be heavy plastic to cut down on weight with 1×4 to hold stuff on Add solar lights , your aways out after dark Put 🪜 rack over fuel tank , then add lights all over . Run cords to generator. Put weight mats on floor of inside.

Maybe replace wheels with 4x4 or 6x6 to get correct height then bolt threw floor, 3 heavy duty rachet straps from floor to ceiling to hold draws closed and help stop it from tipping over

Mike I would give yourself as many shelves as you can. Store the oil next to the Def tank if it fits

Could you put 2 or 3 Solar panels on the roof of the trailer and connect it to a battery pack in the trailer so you can run lights and some other stuff with out running the generator?

A way to secure your toolbox to the wall, use 3/4 plywood and just glue it with gorilla glue construction adhesive, no screw needed

Small diesel heater wouldn’t be bad. Also exterior lighting for filling.

You could use some flat bar steel weld it at a 90 degree angle maybe even put a triangle support at welded area to add extra support. And bolt it to the floor and back of tool box. You wouldn't lose any space. I would make two one for each side basically it would look like a shelf bracket just up side down. For added strength you could weld a strap two both across the back and drill one hole through the tubing behind the box to bolt it to the wall. I would also use aluminum shelves to keep down on weight. I personally would have gone the route of a service bed like Brian farming then there's not traitor hook up and unhooking you could have a portable compressor and torch maybe even welder. I would also go to thunder creek trailers web site and just get ideas from there trailers. Love your channel can't wait for the videos to come out.

Put isolation in the trailer and a heater 😊

I would install a eye bolt at the top of each drawer section and drill a hole in the 2x4 and install a steel rod to keep the drawers closed.

Put some 4x6 blocks or whatever underneath the tool box to slightly lift the wheels off the floor, some cleats in front so it can't slide forward, or maybe angle brackets bolted into the bottom of the box, and then a couple of angle brackets on the top holding it to the wall.

Its probably already done, but I would weld up some steel feet to swap out with the wheels so you could bolt it down and keep it at the same height.

To keep drawers closed take some flat stock drill hole in them for like 3/4 condo put one on top and bottom drop the condo down them to hold them shut And need to fasten the top of the box for if you stop fast the box dont tip over

2 2x4's on bottom, eye hooks and use small ratchet straps to hold it against the wall during travel is an option.

How about taking the wheels off the big tool box and then putting a length of wood across the front to hold it in place, the wood can be braced through the floor.

Fasten a pair of top- and bottom-2x4s to the trailer structure in front of the tool cabinet. That will form cross rails for two or three vertical posts to secure the drawer banks. When the trailer is parked, those posts can be unlatched and removed or slid to the side -- depending on what hardware you use to latch them into the top and bottom 2x4s. Regardless, that cabinet would tip over at highway speeds, so you need that top brace as well as the floor one. More LEDs, that whiteboard, an eye wash station, some form of hand sanitizer dispenser (liquid or wipes) and a good first-aid kit should join a marine-grade 10lb fire extinguisher in that space. When I researched to buy fire extinguishers decades ago, I selected Amerex for my parents' home. Don't waste your money on those throwaway hardware store brands. Get something that will not deteriorate while sitting around for years and can actually be inspected and recharged periodically. Needless to say, I'd place GPS tracker tags of whatever brand (Apple?) you prefer inside the choice pieces of equipment you plan to house in there. Stuff like Honda generators, small compressors and welders that you mentioned can grow legs. A Come Along puller, a tow strap, some bungee cords and extra tie-down straps could find a home there too. If you get that Keurig then you'll need a couple of good-sized biscuit tins from home for your go-withs like granola bars and consumable coffee stuff. Don't forget to stock little trash bags to clear out daily garbage or the mice will invade. The trash pail will have multiple emergency uses as well. Have fun shopping. Don't forget to show us the fuel tank being installed on the deck.

You need to fix the tool chest at the back also you need spare keys on the wall and a sign ""Have You Locked The Tool Box" If not fixed to the wall under heavy braking all draws would fly out and topple over with the weight in the draws if not locked

The John Deere compressor / generator combo works great in my trailer.
