Installing an Elevated Deer Hunting Blind with a Backhoe
Вставка

- How high can we lift a 700 pound deer hunting blind with a John Deere Backhoe? My brother wanted his deer hunting blind as high as we could get it with the equipment that we had available to us and I had just built a new set of forks to put on the rear boom of my backhoe. We thought this was a great way to test it out, but I wasn't sure how high we could place the blind or how much I would be able to lift with the blind mounted way out on the boom of the backhoe. We were able to get the deer blind installed to a respectable height after working through all the possible issues that we may encounter along the way.

What a great aerial drone shot of your drive over!
Glad it all worked out so well. It gets broken in next weekend. Thanks for helping on it. You'll just have to let me know when the girls want to go back.
It was a cool project and a fun challenge. You guys did a good job getting it all built, finished and ready to go. We may need to schedule a visit but sounds like we might be in line with all the VRBO reservations.
Great video Neil! I loved the drone footage from your place to ours and back to the woods. Your Mama was pretty apprehensive about this endeavor with all my chicks back there, especially the one in the cab under that green monster. As usual you make it look easy. Turned into a fun family day. ❤
I liked the challenge of both raising the deer blind, and trying to fly the drone to the woods while also driving the backhoe over there! The drone flight might have proven to be more challenging actually!! It turned out to be a pretty easy really but I'm glad everyone was there to help. Thanks for watching and commenting Mom!
You keep you ranch really tight.. looks really nice around there, i appreciate the work that goes into that.
Thanks Ben! We try our best, even though it is a good bit of work most of the time. My wife does a ton to keep things looking good around here too! Thanks for the kind words and appreciate you watching!
Awesome! Love seeing you all together, even Aunt Mary up in the blind, good job guys. p.s. cool view with the drone during the drive back to the woods.
It was a fun day back there and nice for everyone to be involved. Thanks for checking it out!
Looks great your forks and also your brothers hunting blind good work guys
Thanks a lot!
Great synergy between all involved. Would love to the blinds inaugural use. What fun
My nephews had a "blast" this fall getting to hunt from that blind. They're loving it. It was a cool project to tackle with the backhoe.
Loved this video Neil! "Shooting Shack." That comment made me sploodge my cocktail son! This post has all the makings of either a government operation or a family project. Never has so much been given for a "Bambi Abattor."
Oh yes. My brother hates it when I can't remember the proper hunting terms. Just another way to rib him as he's a hunter and I am not. It was a fun challenge though and that thing is actually really cool to hang out in up there. Thanks for going back through these Greg!
@@digdrivediy All good amigo. I'm enjoying it.
Great video. But you had old dad a little nervous. It took the whole family to get her done but we made it. It would be okay with me if you did not take on anymore shooting Shacks hiding huts gun mount or hunting blinds jobs I would be okay with that.
Haha! I figured the first one is the toughest. Now at least we know it can be done pretty easily. Thanks for all the help. And for watching 😁
good ol' ingenuity. Well done.
Thanks Roger!

Are tornado shelters common in farm land of your state? Its amazing how much open beautiful farm land your families have! Keep up the great work!
Around here they are not common at all, but basements and cellars are really common. When there is a tornado threat we all head to the basement at our house. Thanks so much for the kind words Kevin.
Fav part. “Is my wife watching this?” Haha
Your brother and I have the same motto. Whats the worst thing that could happen? If someone dying or being seriously injured isn't in the equation, I say do it! Lol
Haha, that's right. Don't know until you try! Although we were quite nervous about it, really it was all pretty easy.
Whew! That was exciting!
It sure looked a lot easier on this video than what my nerves were feeling at the time, that's for sure! Thanks for checking it out!
@@digdrivediy Really good and enjoiyable if a bit stressful content. It waas a cliff hanger.
COOL!
The tractor has enough power to lift, for sure you , I have picked up 3 ‘ diameter rock with mine
They're more powerful than you think. I was just worried about tipping without the outriggers out more than the lift ability. Thanks for watching!
So when is the shooting shack available for overnight stays on VRBO? Great job guys!!!!
There are quite a few openings between December and October I believe. You may find that the heating system is temperamental in the winter. No pets. 😂Thanks for watching!
Job well done the only way the KOCH way
Ha! You got to meet a lot of KOCHs in this video! :) That was a fun day.
are you willing to share the plans for the shack ?
He bought the shack from someone that manufactures them locally. It was down around Decatur Indiana I believe.
👍👍👍👍👍
👍Thanks!
The mighty Deere did the job but I pity the deer!
I'm more into Deere than deer myself, but fortunately there is an abundance of both in our area! Thanks for watching!
thats not a hunting blind, its a dog house for when he's in trouble with the wife.lol
You couldn't be more right!
The best part of this video is you saying “let’s go grab this shooting shack” 😂🤣😂🤣
