So in this video I fabricate 2 Bag lifters designed to carry fertilizer and seed bags.
I start by bringing the old startrite band saw into the workshop, wiring a new plug onto it and checking it turns the right way.
I bring the 150x100x6 box section in and cut it to the required lengths. The 114x6 tube is then also cut to length and then an angle is cut on one end.
Next job is to cut the holes in the box section for the tube to fit through, this is done with the cnc plasma. The end caps for the tube and box section are also cut out on the cnc table.
The frame can then be assembled on the work bench, tacked in place and then welded round.
JCB Q fit brackets are welded onto the first frame.
The second frame is assembled in the same process but this time Pin and cone brackets are made and welded on, the side plates for the brackets are cnc plasma cut from 12mm flat bar.
Once both frames are made, the tubes are put through the box, squared up and tacked into place, gussets are cut out, again with the cnc plasma and tacked on. They are then welded round.
Little wedges are needed on the top side of the tubes to stop the bags from sliding off, these are flame cut from 30mm plate using the magic eye profile cutter. The wedges are then welded on.
Last job is then to wash off and paint. Red oxide primer then black top coat.
Thanks for watching!
Hope you enjoyed the video. - Наука та технологія
55-60 mph on your little grey Fergie 😱 your a braver man than me 👍🇬🇧
I was just thinking the same thing!!
I wouldn’t think the tires would be rated for that speed
Another great job Oliver. Your welds are a piece of art. Keep the videos coming
That's exactly what I thought - beautiful welds!! 😍
As any electrician will agree with you that direction is 50% with a 75% chance it will be wrong 😂😂. A useful addition to any three phase is a short adapter/ extension lead with the phases crossed. These can be so handy for quick drive reversals on loaned equipment etc. good your shop is on 5 pin makes life so much easier, really annoys me when people install 4 pin in new premises.
That’s a good tip! I was on 4 pin until I purchased a machine that needed a neutral so now I’m on 5 pin.
There is a make of 3 phase plug, made specially for the rental equipment market, that has an inbuilt switch that you can operate via a slotted shaft, that reverses 2 of the phases. It designed to make phase reversal easy, but more importantly stops equipment renter from tampering with the equipments wiring.. opening up the plug end or the equipment end of the cable….
Must been a new boots show.
@@andrewcourt5156 yes there is, but the big problem with the ones I once saw ( apart from the cost) is you slack a screw and rotate two of the pins. Unfortunately can fully rotate and end up trusting the wires off. You need one of these on every appliance so a single reverse lead is much better value
In a rental situation, as the person renting out the kit, it is nice to try and prevent some “enthusiastic amateur” from altering the wiring !!
If you equipment has 3 phase motors and it is not “desirable” fir them to go backwards, (perhaps for mechanical reasons), then as part of the control electronics / system you can include a phase relay, that will only enable the system if the incoming power is phased correctly…
Makes life a lot easier these days. Lift all your fertilizer like that in the big bags. When I was young and on the farm. Everything came in 100 weight bags. You carried and loaded manually. Grain bags were 100 weight and a half. 50 to 75 Kg. I could get a grain bag on my shoulder. Climb up a ladder. And tip it into the top of the silo. I wouldn't get it off the ground these days. Old age is a bitch.
Your story reminded me of the days gone by when I used to lift up the 1cwt bags of Nitram into the hopper of the Vicon Lely vari spreader. I can hear that Massey Ferguson 35 ticking over in my head now !
Thank you guys for your hard work! Thankfully nowadays things are a bit more mechanised.
Remember then they went completely the other way to the 1 tonne bags on a crate? Then to 500kg slung (now 600)
I don’t mind the painting, it means I’m close to getting paid for my work! Love your dad’s Massy.
This is awesome work. The new design of retainers to stop the bags slipping off is 👌
Very enjoyable video and excellent fabrication. Reminded me of my solo end of welding course piece done in the sixties. It was a three point hitch twin fork lift for the fordson major. Still use it. Our instructor said I will be looking for a tolerance of no more than a sixteenth, because you are under pressure but every piece you do after this will be better! Good advice. Bearing in mind I was already a working research scientist doing it for a hobby, my 5 mates then were sixteen year old school leavers. We all passed. Still have wadkin and startrite kit and an army rapidor reciprocating saw from ww2 . These things are bullet proof. Old age slows one down but the skills remain. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for watching!
You and Cutting Edge Engineering are my favourite engineering channels, even though the closest I’ve come to this stuff is knocking wooden stuff together on my homemade CNC. Thanks for documenting your exploits. 😊
Great to hear!
Gday, there’s nothing better then seeing beautiful welds, that’s one bloody big bandsaw that’s for sure, it would be awesome to have the steal logos to weld on the items you build, hopefully someone might sponsor you an engraving machine, awesome job as always mate, cheers
Channel, content and finished results excellent.
Well thought out design, Really good, neat weld runs. Finished product looks really, professionally impressive.
Thanks for sharing.👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
Mark, I couldn't agree more with that comment.
@@stuartandrews4344 thank you
I love a bit of Snowball antics, always so interesting. That forklift sure earns its keep.
What a handy bit of kit.
Thanks for that, I really enjoyed that project.
Another cool engineering job. You keep them coming, I'll keep watching. Thanks for sharing your work. Cheers!
Absolutely brilliant, simple effective and does everything you needed to do
The bandsaw is huge! Maybe you can find a way to set it up where you keep the long stock to help cut pieces to size then bring them in the shop. The welds are spot on . Keep up the good work and Be Safe.
Fantastic work as always, really impressive welds 👍👍
Brilliant craftsmanship. Cheers!
Nice job. Good looking cattle. Thanks for the videos.
Another great job, I used to work in a metal fabricating shop and your welding beads are amazing.
Brilliant from fabrication to editing to voice volume/music just right and appropriate. Huge thumbs up👍
Thank you very much!
I always find your vids interesting, thank you.
Really good job, the welding looks the business, as does both of the bag filler frames. You shouldn't doubt your capabilities, you do a first class job. I've seen some bad welding on other posts, where their welding beads look like bird pooh. Great post, thank you, keep safe and well.
Good job, nice welds. what a time saver for the farmer.
Lovely work once again! 😊
Great video. Thank you.
Outstanding work!
Greetings from Cleveland, Tennessee USA
You made that look easy 🤣.Great work. Go Snowball. 👍
Keep the vids coming. Love them.
Beautiful job Oli. A1 job.
Another excellent job ,l like the way you work,thoughtfully and prescice !
I watch your videos for some time now. You're damn good in what you're doing. Keep up the great work.
Fantastic channel and love your workshop
Very good indeed, top job, and professionally carried out
Excellent work!!!
Excellent work 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
Quality, plus, they look real good. Your dad reminded me of my dad on his Messi Ferguson. He used to love it on the farm. God bless him
Great job - I love your videos!
Good work as usual Oliver.
Really enjoyed this
Both of them look really good. Well done Ollie 👍👍👍
Seriously impressed, nice one mate
Beautifully work my friend!
Bloody great work there young man, not bad at painting either .
Another great informative vid. That coolant pump motor is an easy fix, 2 new radial bearings and maybe a new bronze wear bush below.
Those look very smart indeed squire. Good design and execution of the job!
Love your videos, attention to detail is excellent great work,
I really enjoyed that today, looking forword to the next one.
Good job! Thanks for sharing.😊
Thanks for watching 😁
Another great job. Incredible welding skills. 👍👍👍
Awesome video, thank you

Nice job! Have fun
Those welds are very nice - a real good job.
Another good video. Great workshop
Beautiful job.
nice work !!! 👍👍
Another first class job completed.
Well done! Again!
Looks really good.
Love watching the plasma cutter on fast forward.
Nice craftsmanship! 👍
They look like the ones we make! Great video man
Great video.
Thank you for sharing I learn a lot, always a pleasure watch your project 👍👍👍👍
Altri 2 lavori ben fatti complimenti.
Great video pal
Good video, pleasure to watch. 👍👍
Ollie... Nice tool and a very good build...
Cracking job . 👍
Really impressive looking welds.
Nice build. Heavy duty last a lifetime 👍
Once again top fab work Oliver . Spent a lot of year driving a terex telehandler nice machine .
Thanks! We had a terex t250 until replacing it with a JCB TM310
Another great job well done and thanks for sharing 10/10
nice job mate. I have been super busy the past few months in the workshop and havnt had time to see your progress but now i have a bit of time to catch up :D
great work
Thank you for a great video
Well done!!
Nice result there👍
Great video, Your welds look like they were done by a $1M robot!
That is a nice saw
Very nice welds mate.
Really good content. WOW!
Great to see the Union Jack on the bag lifter!
nice work 👍
Really good! Boom !👊
Ótimo vídeo, abraços do velho professor do Brasil.
Well done! I agree about painting is the worst part. I work mostly with wood and always get someone else to apply the finish 🙂
Nice job
Bloody Great job m8
good job
Oliver. Great engineering. I think your band saw shrank significantly in the warm weather 🥵 .👍🏴
In an age where most things are built to throw away and a lot not even fit for purpose….it’s really reassuring to see this level of attention to detail in a young man, I’d gladly pay more (much more) for something made by yourself than a mass produced implement, knowing it’s probably something my kids kids will use!!
For what it’s worth, stay in your lane and I’ll eat my hat if big things arnt coming your way 👍 1st class!!
That looks to be a well designed and substantial bit of kit. I believe it will do the job and then some. Put the max capacity on it near your logo so some one can’t say they were never told .
Nice fabrication an nice video as always 😍🇳🇴
Hi,good afternoon,well done on this one everything first class as usual,keep up the good workregards🏴🦕🦕
That was an interesting project. Looks like different machines have different couplings. Your welds are certainly impressive, some of the best I've seen. Those lifters should last longer than the equipment they'll be used on!
It’s a nightmare how many different brackets there are for different machines. Thanks!
Workshop tour please
That's one hell of a saw Oliver. What a shame you don't have room to leave that saw set up permanently right close to a rack you could load steel right on and go.
Welds are so nice
Thanks
