    For all you young guys out there who think they can lift the world and tote it around I thought the same. Now at 62 my back isn't worth a damn. Can't pick up much more that a matchbook. Use your head and not your back. Glad to see the you had help when you replaced the hubs. I painted a 18 foot trailer with a roller and brushes once. Won't do that again. Good job and good looking trailer. Should give you years of service.

      I like the idea of the plates Dirt Perfect has between the tracks on his lowboy. They are going to stop any sideways sliding when it gets slippy. You can see them in the background @5.27 in this video ua-cam.com/video/uxQ7u3n2174/v-deo.html I have seen Chris Guin (Letsdig18) have big problems loading their dozer in the wet because the trailer was parked on a camber, and Jeff Anderson (JPayDirt) has also had some sketchy moments - and he is moving some big equipment!

      I haul heavy equipment for a living my lowboy has a hydraulically driven steel dove tail with cleats and a wood deck both get dang slippery and dangerous in the rain, mud, snow and ice. However I feel that the track machines do end up digging into to the wood a bit better for traction but the boards end up getting chewed up fast needing replacement. be careful and go slow is by best advice except if you're sliding coming down on the ramp I've found its best to "gun it" before the machine slides sideways. Also i have better luck getting those mini excavators on with the arm headed to the front of the trailer and the push blade towards the rear. Happy to answer any questions or share my experience to help out and to find what works best for you. Thanks for the video trailer turned out real nice looking .

    Hello Jesse, that finished trailer looks the part, 👍👍 So glad you are very Safety Conscious when it comes to carrying plant, as you know the weight of the Dozer is something you don't want to play around with.
    That was a clever idea adding Gussets to the outer ribs, to transfer weight onto the central spine, and adding additional stiffers to the lower edges of the braces. Very well thought out all round, also the wires run in a conduit to protect them. The attention to detail really pleases me. Many a plant operator would be happy to own that trailer. By doing what you have done, makes it look really professional.
    I have seen some plant roll up on a site, looking like their gear has just been pulled out off a scrap yard. Bloody brilliant, Top Man Jesse, 👍👍🍺🍺. Best wishes, Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

These races were pretty large; the mixer had been run by the previous owner after the bearing had failed for quite a while; it was really screwed up in there.

    @genegoodman5233 3 роки тому +2

    Remember, this was a 15 ton rated trailer when new. All you needed to do was replace the wheel bearings and a new floor. So all this extra bracing and support you added pushed the ratings up another 3-4 tons. The trailer was built with 20-30% safety factors. The axles and bearings are now your weak areas and they have a 30% safety factor. This came from a trailer company where I bought my axles for a 16’ trailer I built in 1982. I have built 6 different trailers for my own use and I guarantee everyone of them were overloaded at so point, never had any problems. It’s a great looking trailer and everything I build is like you “OVERBUILT”. The area for chains would serve you better if you closed it in, like you said and put a lockable top on it. Enjoyed watching your videos, got a bunch of catching up to do. I’ve binge watching Andrew for the last 3 weeks and probably saw your butt on top of his castle several times. Take care stay safe.

    it's just a marketing ploy. "HD" "Ultra" "Max" "HQ" are just total lies.
    This new generation of throw away doesn't know what real durability means,
    or entails. Everything is produced with cheap materials, cheap, unskilled Slave
    labor, and then marked up for even more profit.

    Since you have all four brake wires coming to that box, I think it would be a good idea to install a fuse on each line. Measure the current to the solenoids and select a fuse a bit higher than that. If one of them ever shorts to ground in the future that heavy gauge wire will ensure that it receives all the current the controller can deliver, disabling the rest of the brakes.

Through conduit, no less.... THAT'S how you do it.... The trailers I see, you're lucky if someone squished the wire into a blob of hot glue every once in awhile, to keep it from dragging down the road.... Little rings, welded in.... to hold conduit....

I broke the ratchet for my set, too; did it at work, so my union told the company they had to replace it, and they gave me a nice 3/4" drive Proto. That ratchet cost more than twice what the socket set did. 😂 The rest of the set has lasted okay, though, for the odd occasion when I needed bigger sockets.

    • @clydeacor1911
      @clydeacor1911 3 роки тому +9

      @Rob G not true. It done for the convenience of maintenence. When they get low on oil all you have to do is add oil. But when you have a oil seal go out you have to replace the brake shoes too because they get saturated with oil. With grease you have to tear everything apart to repack the bearings every so often for maintenence which is a pain. I have several semi trailers that I run. The ones that are constantly on the road I use oil because it's easier and on the one's that sit 6 month out of the year I use grease because trailers that sit have more tendencies to have leaking seals. Out of curiosity I checked bearing temperatures while loaded and after running around 100 miles on a hot day and the oil bearings were all around 140 degrees which isn't bad but the grease bearings were only 90 to 95 degrees. It's heat that kills oil and bearings. The only problem with grease is you need to keep a better eye on it because unlike oil you can't just check the level.

      @3SGE Nope. Sleeve is super thin and once heated is slipped over the existing shoulder. Takes some skill to install. Usually used w an oversized seal. Most truck rear axles have bolt-on spindles. Trailer axle's spindles r machined before being welded onto the axle tubing. Once damaged repairs r usually a waste of time. Simply buy good used (difficult to find) or new. I know. I worked in a truck workshop that was highly regarded. Axles r relatively dirt cheap. Else if u need low milage option simply scotch brite seal interface and use loctite on bearing IDs. Good enough to get u home or for a few hundred miles. Taper Rollers w undersize IDs r available but then u turning it into a money pit. Using above I got an oversized boat on a trailer from Anchorage to Houston. Bet u Jesse is not going to put on a few hundred miles per year onto that trailer. He will also be checking bearing temp every 30 miles or so.
