You guys will get better views of the trailer later. This is an honest update of just how average the experience of getting stuff on straight can be for a non-engineer, and how any model engines (or full size) can go from "I'll just start this" to "I'll just need to tear this down and rebuilt it first" :)
Hey Mr 212. We build very differently, I used junk and hardware store bits otherwise it'd never get done. I'm a bit self-conscious about just how rough it turned out, but I know you always kinda say that but your stuff looks great so...I guess I understand, it always looks worse to the builder who has learned he coulda shoulda woulda done better. Next time... Thanks for the support, man
@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES The hardware store is the best place for all things, ideas, supplies, necessary bits (for a project that has yet to be realized yet). I keep "precious junk" in shoe boxes, milk crates, on a shelf, and in the corner for just the right project. We are all the worst critic on the work we've done because we all strive to do the best we can. Through the experience we learn from doing it teaches us where we could improve. Your lowboy trailer is amazing! Your videos are fantastic! I always learn something from every one, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👍
They come built although my engines have been apart and maybe some mods as you see...they are by Microcosm ("Jin") Chinese engineer, sells thru enginediy and stirlingkit retailers, also through ebay user mageyang and now through his own new little website. However....Microcosm engines retail at three price points on ebay. Stratospherical eg US$2200 for tractor, Aspirational eg $1200 and Occasional eg $600-700. You don't see them at the low end prices any longer. Other big news Microcosm claims a rebrand to OKMOModel, complete with website, But, is this actually Jin? OKMOModel has a tractor for US$1199 is this worth it? www.okmomodel.com/okmo-gasoline-tractor-model-toy-air-cooled-single-cylinder-gasoline-engine-model-t16-p5456921.html I will do a vid on the changing face of Microcosm/ OKMOmodel

I'm impressed with the power of that little engine 👌
Impressive work on the trailer! I look forward to seeing more!
Thanks a ton!
Very well done indeed 👍. I really like the drawbar on the tractor

I've been interested in building a tractor and I like the way your tractors are built
I'm not an engineer but I'm going to give it a try
I like that spirit! Welcome to the comments section David
Your trailer and the two tractors are amazing. What tractor kits are they?
