    Need the ball close or over the drive wheels. Thanks for video and nice work.

      Yea I agree there's definitely some tweaks that could be made.

    I appreciate the fact that you can still use the snowblower if you wanted to.
    I'm very impressed with your fabrication, and sharing you knowledge of welding thick and thin metal by favoring the thick side.

    I like that!
    Thanx for a nice video with clear explanations and views.
    I like your version compared to others I saw on RUclips.

    researching how to make something to move some cars and trailers around and came across this video.
    biggest issue I see, is the pivot point being so far from the drive wheels. you can see when you first hooked the trailer up, that it unloaded the drive wheels on to the caster. it might also help to make a platform that you stand on, to help counter balance the trailer tongue weight. if there was a way to divorce the engine from being over the drive axle, so you could move the tongue right over the axle, that would be even better.
    overall, good job, good starting point for thought, you get a comment (algo love) and a like. :D

      Yea I agree with everything you said, the pivot point is too far out but without making a lot of modifications I couldn’t really think of a good way to move it back. If this blower had the wheel steering a platform may have helped balance it a bit better and be able to still steer.

    I've built something similiar to move non-running cars around, which was a golfcar rearaxle I added a winch motor to. Simple. However, for a trailer I just used a riding mower, you can find them that need work for almost free (mine was free..needed new carb). It didn't work in the mud though, just spun the little tires.

      I’ve used a riding mower as well, when I built this I needed it to be easier to transport. Appreciate the support!

    Steering was probably difficult because your "swivel" point on the dolly was your front tire. If it was reversed (fixed drive wheel in front, swivel wheel in back) , it would have been easier to turn the unit.

      I agree with that, the live axle would’ve made that difficult too though I think.

    your drive was a very steep incline, using your truck to get it out. Like the idea of a snow blower, thinking trailer valet but cost is high. do you or have you ever tried this on a slight incline 12-4 pitch.

    • @jamesofalltradesny
      @jamesofalltradesny  Год назад

      It definitely will not work on any kid of an incline which is kind of a bummer

    I'm sure plenty of people are going to find this very helpful. I'm sure it would have been helpful to make those square plates on a cnc table too....

      We will have to do a collab and build something on the table!

    if you were just putting it at the end of the drive why not just back it up with the vehicle???

    • @jamesofalltradesny

      Sometimes the vehicle is too large to get it in the spot people want the trailer for there party
