These new trailers aren't always better especially from big box stores. There are a select few companies that take pride in what they build, but you're still better off fixing your old trailer! Great video!

Great job man! I bought a totaled 6x12 dual axle dump trailer for my dad, steel bottom, 3 ft walls and a ramp gate. Took it apart, was able to salvage everything but one of the axles and got it looking brand new. Crazy what some new lights/paint and stickers can do to one of these.

Enjoyed your video. Simular to what I did to my trailer. Two notes. 1-You didn't paint inside the fenderwells. And, 2- you put the reflective tape on backwards. In many states the white is towards the front & red towards the back. Check your before and after pictures. Lets others know what direction you're going. Over all a great job !

You must have a small skid steer. My T870s weigh 13,000lbs with no attachment. That's why I have a 9T gooseneck to haul them or the Case 580 backhoe. My 7K car hauler isn't near close to carrying it. But nice looking trailer you have now.
@BrettsBuilds
@BrettsBuilds 8 ай бұрын
I'd love to have your setup. T870 is one of the largest skid steers on the market. I have a Cat 287 which is 10k. This is a 14k equipment trailer, not a car hauler. I'm definitely pushing it's limits. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

New deck and paint looks great! I'm surprised you didn't straighten out the fender before you painted. Do you have plants to rebuild the suspension and axle components? We recently did an overhaul on our 3 year old Diamond C and installed all new brakes. Our 5 year old enclosed trailer is in need of new suspension components.

Why is the treat wood out there different from the treated wood we get on the East Coast? What's the orange tint, and why do they perforate the wood, for absorption of the chemical.
@BrettsBuilds
@BrettsBuilds 8 ай бұрын
The color and indentation is the chemical they "treat" it with. It helps further absorb said chemical. I was not aware it was different on the East Coast, that is very interesting as I've never known any different than what's in the video. Maybe someone else can chime in on the difference?

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. I would like to repair the fender but they don't make fenders like this anymore. I dropped an f350 off of a forklift (whoops) on the fender and that's all the damage it got. Now days fenders bend if you stand on them. Spray paint in the wheel wells is on the schedule, I ran out of time as this build was outside and the weather turned. Good points, thanks

I was debating painting them back to white but decided to go for a "murdered out" style look. I got lazy with the wheel wells, we were rushing to finish up before the rain started and good thing we did because it's rained every day since for 2 weeks and will probably continue until spring.

I like the content but you need to fire your producer, the whole style of the video wasn't super enjoyable. I know it takes time to find your style so hopefully you get there since I liked watching what you were doing and it would be nice to see how your editing and so on grows.

Thanks for watching the video. It's just me; I'm the photographer, the editor, the low end talent, everything! Would love to hear your feedback on what you would like to see improved. I just learned to video edit so I'm winging it on the fly. I tell you what though, I have a whole new appreciation for KZfaq content, stuff that I used to think wasn't that well produced. Now I realize how much work really goes into it.

@@BrettsBuilds I'm right there with you. I had a channel with 1,000,000 plus views and it was EFFORT!! And a lot of pressure! I eventually just deleted it. I have a ton of content I need to make but I over think it and the editing is annoying. You did great and I'm not trying to compare you to Andrew Camarata how has been at this for a decade. I guess if I were to say anything personally, I would rather see you hold the camera and walk around talking about something than the image over the photo. I think that would be easier for you as well. People love a story, a time lapse, I suck at the artistic shots but appreciate them. Ask for feedback at the end of your videos too. Maybe a title like "Putting $1,000 into a beat up old trailer" would be good, experiment with things like that.

You didnt screw any of the boards down to the steel frame at all? I would've atleast done a few cross beams or every other c-channel cross braces. It would have straightened out the twisty boards and secured them better. So just the front of the boards goes under the angle iron & where it 'breaks' at the 'dovetail' has the flat stock holding them down? Yeah, I'm not sure id go that way, but to each their own.🤔🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏻👌🏻🛠️📐✏️📏🔧⚙️⛓️🔌🔋⚡💥💨🚜⚠️🍻

I see what you're saying, it's hard to see but the boards are held down on each long end and sandwiched tight side to side. There's no wiggle room either direction. After a week all the boards have all straightened out nicely. Thanks for watching and commenting with advice, appreciate it.
