Great video, I don't do much trapping but I love watching how other people enjoy the outdoors.
Cool thanks, thats exactly why I make these. I like documenting my own learning, but also hopefully helping folks understand what trappers do. Especially a healthy lifestyle/experience and benefiting the planet. ;)
Hola, me ayudas con las dimensiones o un plano por favor, saludos
FYI about covering the ventilation. If the temperature drops below freezing, then close for the night. Keeps the body heat in. Open the next day for airflow and the ammonia fumes to escape.
One suggestion I would have would be to raise the back of your beam to about belt high. You can figure out how I’m sure. It will be less strain on your back. Gives you more downward pressure for scraping. Give it a try. You’ll like it.
Hello fellow NY er. You do a beautiful job on your Fur. I haven't trapped much the last 2 years, caught some Muskrats and a Mink this year. They are going to be tanned. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Dan, I'm pretty self conscious about my fur handling, but thanks. I'm definitely learning from my mistakes and planning for corrections. Glad you got out for rats and mink thats cool! I think I'm going to tan a few of mine as well. Good Luck, Dan
Hi bud. Days of trapping are going to be nonexistent in next couple decades I’m afraid. Born in 1961 and was lucky to have the opportunity. Last straw when Canada goose went woke. My coyote average was reduced 20 percent of 10 year average. Deer population is about to be reduced large
Hi PJ, Yeah a lot of things on earth are definitely changing. I hope to keep trapping into retirement, but I'm sure I'll have to adapt to those changes. I'll do the best I can to be a conservationist of our wild farm, and share trapping so hopefully it can be handed down and continues. Good Luck to you, Dan
Did you make or buy your fleshing beam and base im looking for plans on making one but having a hard time and really don’t wanna buy wall mount one don’t like them as much ?
Hi Bucktalk, I bought the beam at the NYS Trapping convention in Herkimer NY. I'm sorry I do not remember the vendor. Just a wood working guy had a few. I then made the stand myself. Its a lywood base with two boards to create a notch for the standing board, and two boards to notch under the beam. The beam is on a hinge. This way I just fold it up when not in use. I'll show it better on the next video. Best! Dan
@@TrappersSNORR thank you much tight chains
This awesome. Whenever I do make one of these I hope to learn from this again.
Did you ever try power snares for coyotes all I use .good on trails and fence lines or put a bait and set after they have trails.put your bait pile on a little pond and set on trails they make going through the cattails.
Hey Murray, I can totally see how that would work well. Snares are not legal in my state (New York). However I think the trapping association is trying to lobby for cable restraints. I bet those would totally change the game on coyote catches in NY. I'm still just trying to get better. I have caught coyote other years. I'm fine with working my foot holds for now. I'm loving the challenge:)
@@TrappersSNORR in Saskatchewan Canada were I live we cant use free hanging neck snares for coyotes in the south trapping areas. But with a permit we can use the power snares.
Weldon Excellent
I’m curious how the nesting boxes are working out above the roost. Because if you think about it, chicken lay eggs on the ground and roost on the trees above.
That's Really Cool, But The SUN Will Make Your Zip Ties Brittle & Break, I Would Get A Role Of Baling Wire & Cut Them About 4 inches Long & Just Twist it ???🙄
nice, but all that effort, and its still a 2 person job to move it. it might be over-designed and too heavy.
the total cost of this CT has got to be outta range fer the average folks. PVC ain't cheap, neither is that black iron. So...do tell the total cost of this CT please.
Wheel at 16:40 love it - thank you!
Moisture in the coop from not enough ventilation can be deadly to your flock especially in the cold winter.
Far from the best iy doesn't work
I made this exact one about 23 years ago they work great
Strap them down during storms, mine blew across the pasture and broke.
Really appreciate that u acknowledge where u got the idea. Great Idea with pickle buckets
Love the pickle bucket idea. Been trying to figure out what I was going to do for egg boxes. Already implemented the feeding tubes. Like your roofing system.
J clamps would be a lot easier and cheaper than the S hooks.
I didn't think the PVC would standup to be out in the sun.
Why would you put it right in front of the door come on
You need to write about 100 page book to make that chicken tractor. And then it takes two people to move it
You are kidding me on that Chicken tractor
The cost of pvc is crazy now thanks jb
Excellent! Thanks 👍
To me your door is too sticking out too far when it's down from the hutch to reach into the eggs if you just had him come to the top of the bucket and then put another piece of Why would just above the buckets then that way you're not trying to reach way out there to get your eggs and accidentally drop them because you bump your arm on your board
You can slam the inside of the cap with a sandpaper and all round the outside of the pipe coming up or you can go get one of those thread sections that glue onto the top has the plastic cap that screws on
You should've used the black UV light ones because those are just gonna deteriorate the white just deteriorates in the sun another thing is on the bottom if you were to come out longer put a 4 way route to T route there at the corner and then come up with a 45 or even a 30゚ or 20゚ or something I aint swoop It will pull around easier because you got that swoop that will slide across the grass
Your nesting boxes are to high and the chickens are going to roost at night in them. The roosting pole need to be higher than the boxes.
Hi Peter, Thanks! I thought that might be true as well, but actually the chickens do not roost in the nesting buckets, they rather be on the roosts and never go in the buckets to roost. Maybe its just these hens, but no problems so far.
If you move the wheels and center them on the frame of the chicken house it should be able to be moved by one person again..
Good Idea! I now do move it myself. I found out if I don't have the water hanging on there its much easier. Sometimes my wife helps with a hand truck under the back, but only if uphill.
Very nice job. Just a few minor adjustments that were already mentioned by others here, but over all a very nice job 👍🏻.
thanks so much. I should really show my updates, but this tractor is still going strong.
How many Special Order 4 way fittings? Thank you.
Chicken wire is great for keeping chickens in-it won’t do much for keeping predators out. Also: if you have your nesting boxes higher than your roosting bars the chickens will just use the nest to roost (and defecate). You need to switch those two around. Good luck!
Thanks Paulie, I guess we are just lucky because the hens never use the nests to roost, they rather be on the roosts and don't seem to care about the height. We use a premier one Intellishock 30 around the entire tractor, and have no predator problems. We use just a sing strand string wire around three times. Found it doesn't ground out like the mesh fence, and way easier to take down and put up. The hens go inside the coop and a chicken guard door keeps them safe as well.
I use hog rings to stitch my chicken wire together, works great and you can get them pretty cheap.
Great tip!
That is what I used. works great and dewalt makes a set with a magazine and Tractor Supply sells them.
Awesome work. If you move the axle to the center of the Box (the heavy part) it will hold it up properly and it could be a one person job.
Thanks for the tip!
Do you send instructions for your chicken tractions
I'm so sorry, I don;t really have instructions.
Hi, I am thinking, why don't you make it in to 2 pieces? 1 the pasture area sperate and resting room sperate. By this way one person can move easily.
I'd been thinking the same - but many people have a shorter one and move it twice a day... also, I would have foot wide hardware cloth flaps to let down when we stop to keep critters from digging under the fence - it would be one more thing to set up when you stop.
Good idea. I have not updated, but I actually do this now with a run extension.
Boy, have you made this complicated. - the ultimate COVID Lockdown occupation. The joint section durability from the run to the Coop-housing looks pretty dicey to me. I'd like to see the coop review in a year's time. Also, the nesting boxes have to be lower down, according to all the advice I've looked at. There are various means of covering the nest boxes to prevent the hens from sitiing on them and pooping all over the place. Good luck.
Fantastic job!
Just so you know, small round branches are not good for chickens to roost on. Their feet are designed for more flat surfaces.
Thanks Jackie. I can see that. I also learned that they need to be able to rest their breast bone on the roost. They seem pretty happy and sleep on these just fine, but I'll keep an eye on them. I have a ring camera on solar in the coop now so I can check on them whenever I like. Its a hoot watching them get ready for bed!
Because that’s how tree branches are shaped in nature?
Great video great design. Problem ive had is sparrows eating all their food and my money ugh. I changed to 1/4 inch mesh wire instead chicken wire they cant get through. Another maybe tip instead wire electricity lay mesh around the sides predators cannot dig under
Hey Dave, Great idea! I have not had sparrow problems. I will admit I've gone to only using a 5 gallo DIY feeder. Its much more weather proof and does not spill as easily.
Is it less expensive to use pvc instead of wood?
Good question. I don't really know. I used PVC because I wanted it to be very light for easy moving, plus long lasting. In the end I think I spent around $2000 on everything, which I probably could have just bought on LOL! But it was my covid labor of love building this and I would have gone crazy if I didn't have the project.
The only issue I see is where you have the nesting boxes. Those should be lower and the roots higher. Chickens like that better. They feel safer roosting higher at night.
Thanks Tania, I heard that too. I bet a rediesign could be done with the nexting boxes about half way up and the roosts at the top. I will say, these have worked fantastic, and I can't tell if the chickens do not like it. They lay consistently in the buckets and after nearly two years now maybe had 6 eggs on the ground inside. They are incredibly consistent hitting the bucket, and they wait in line and egg each other on to get one their favorite nest.
Excellent job. You really thought about the most useful details.
Thank you very much! I made a new video reviewing this, but have not launched that yet. I have two years of experience now and learned a lot! Luckliy most of what I built is still working every day. Note a few changes - I reduced the nesting boxes to increase roosting space, I replaced the tires with flat free tires, I kept getting too many flats! Those hand truck tired just stink!
I wish that i could hit 'like' on this video more than once lol this is sooooo cool
OHh thanks flock! LOL
That is extremely cool, i sure wish i was talented in this way to be inclined to build things on my homestead instead of always having to hire someone to do the many projects that i need done, you did an awesome job my beautiful brother 😊
Start with a simple shelf and go from there. Before my husband left me, he drew plans so I could build the desk he had promised to build for me. You can do it!
Nice design. Probably while moving the chicken you might want to keep the chickens locked in the coop so the don't sneak out the sides of the run
I finally figured out how to finess the coop around. Have not had a chicken get out in over a year. Its just the right hieght that they just walk along with me. Usually they want to walk because they are eager to get to the new grass, so its like hanging a carrot for a horse.
2:30 Looking at this design I think you could have improved it and simplified it by using another one of those big base tubes as the top center ridge. If you drilled the big top center tube all the way through you could have done away with all the four way unions and gluing and passed the side tubes straight through, it would have also given a straight and strong top ridge... what do you think ?
I think you are right! I'm a pastry chef, not an architect or designer, so I was definitely no pro. Good idea. COuld have saved $
@@TrappersSNORR I wouldn't have thought of it without seeing yours first...
