Hitch Receiver Fabrication

- Fabricating a universal hitch receiver for my homemade utility vehicle (UTV).
I need it so I can tow around anything on the homestead. It means I'm not confined to buying factory made ball hitch components (trailer coupler) whenever I need something new to tow around. I'll just attach the pin hitch and make a trailer coupler out of a flat bar, drill a hole in it, weld it and Bob's your uncle.
Stay tuned for future videos! Thanks for watching!

Nice video,nice job. Inspirational as always ;)
КРУТО КАК ВСЕГДА МОЛОДЕЦ 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
man im so glad i subcribed to you! had a great laughter at the end of the video! :D
Where is the build video link for the belt sander? 🤭😁😜 You always do a lot of diy - just forgot it in this one? 😉
Да чтоб все так жили и творили когда желали! Всем добра и процветания!
Engineering perfection + humour = Donn DIY! Love this channel :)
Cheers mate! 🤘
Exactly what I was thinking. So much perfection goes into his work. Absolutely amazing work and quality!
Yes!

Pretty disgusting yes copious amounts of skill, preparation and planning around machines we mere mortals don't have access to. Basically a great daydreaming channel about making stuff we can't unless we hit the lottery. He makes it look easy and common place. This results in us walking around with our tung's hanging halfway out beating on stuff with a hammer, little grinder action, some bird 💩 welding and whalah we've created a masterpiece all while feeling equal and enlightened.🤯😉
Better looking and better built than factory. Love it.
Who's the ONE person who did NOT like this video....
Ahhh I know, you are the guy in the tractor @17:15 and you are part of Donn's family but you did not make the cut and appear in your Tractor closer in the video
🤣🤣
AGAIN Donn, Great fabrication skills AND Humour!
You Rock!!!!
Best video yet. Beautiful hitch, and very entertaining.
🖖👍🙂

The end got me 😂😂😂
Yeah me to 😂
It was a Don DIY trailer parade through a field of spring flowers. NICE. hehe!
Руки у парня реально растут с правильного места , и с чувством юмора всё нормально . Удачи 👍👍👍👍👍
🤘🤘🤘
Финалочка улыбнула
Great build as usual.
Thanks!
Sublime work my friend!
I’m currently making a tow hitch attachment to clamp onto the blade of my mini digger. This will allow me to bucket earth straight into my trailer and then tow it to wherever it needs to go. 👍
One word;
PERFECTION !
And you surfing on a snow-
sled through the dandelions,
PRICELESS.
Thanks for the all inspiring video.
Thank you for watching. 😉🙂
If I told you this is my favorite one I would be lying. Everything that you have made is a gift from god to me watching you fabricate any tool or part... and then use it on the many things that you have made such as that sawmill that is the one that other manufacturers are copying of yours. That would be a compliment of its own. Thank you again Donn as I will be waiting anxiously for. Keep them coming please. A bucket full of your great ideas yet to come I hope
Произведение искусства. Высший уровень!👍
Straight out of the Donn DIY factory! Excellent 👌👍
Hi, buddy , I'm thrilled!!! And there's nothing wrong with your sense of humor. It seems to me that not all auto giants are related to production.👏👏👏👍👍👍
Your buildings are so accurate, it seems like you are following a blueprint or something! that is an awesome skill, congratulations!
I'm an engineer at a tow hitch company and have been doing it for the better part of 20 years.
I just want to say that was a pleasure to watch! So much craftsmanship put into this project. Its way heavier than it needs to be but executed perfectly. And TIG welded, wow! I too thought you should have clear coated to show off those welds.
My only suggestion is make sure to keep that ballmount moving or greased so it doesn't rust in place with how tight the fit is.
I was blown away with your talent, especially the freehand grinding of the reinforcement brackets and bushings. You truly are a gifted fabricator! This is by far the BEST diy channel on RUclips. Can’t wait for the next upload!!
Cheers man!
Just your "normal home fab shop". Unbelievable ! Thank you .
Thanks for watching!
Your dandelion field is lovely, and that towing montage was top notch!
I just spent nearly 20 mins watching something I will never do in y life, and I enjoyed every second of it! You are a very creative guy.
Beautiful job. Well thought out, and well done.
Very nice hitch setup! Looking forward to the pto, front reciever and snowplow setup.
End of the video is priceless :-) !
That's an awesome light duty hitch. Looks really good too
Wow! Everything is still so green here! In Kazakhstan, all the grass has already dried up. The heat is incredible. Well, as always, the work is done by 6 points out of 5
Awesome work. I love watching your craftsmanship. Thanks again for churning out great content.
This thing can pull a tank, most of the video i was perceiving that you are mostly fulfill your craving for TIG Welding, but all this is simply awesome.
Nice work man.
Cheers!
You make the nicest stuff. I really enjoyed essential craftsman’s vid on his work truck. I think you’d enjoy the bit on his receiver. Quite innovative too

Very well equipped with all kinds of tools .
Your tig welding has improved 100% since when you first got your machine. Beautiful welds Donny. I did notice you have bought a linisher too. Great addition to the workshop. As always love your work Mate. Billy J....... Queensland, Australia.
Again a great display of your craftsmanship Donn!
Thank you, Alex!
Der Schluss war wieder einmal der Hammer
😁
That hitch receiver is bulletproof, exellent workmanship!
That is a grate job 👍👌👍
Laughed my butt off when the UTV drove past towing you on the sled, lol.
Another impressive video. I wish I had a fraction of your skill. Can't wait to see the finished trailer!
It was so beautiful. Like the spring coming
👍
Learning and laughing; a great combination! God bless.
Not over-built at all! Nice work! 😉
Love the ending; brilliant!
Awesome work as usual Donn. No shortage of torque there either. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. :)
Very nice! You’ve mastered the TIG very quickly!
Piece of art! Hea töö!
Tänud!
Now you need a front mounted hitch receiver and winch, For when you get stuck in mud towing things like heavy logs. Dont forget the DIY snatch block for those crazy moments when you need to do a side pull.
Great as always. Thank you so much for these neat videos.
Thank you for watching! 😉
This video has an Happy Ending.
Great job!
Cheers!
Thank you for the laughter and the always impressive work mate !
Thank you for watching!
Once again a comical and entertaining video!
And well built hitch ,
I believe it could tow a fully loaded semi trailer !
And skulasaw got a workout in this episode!!
Well done Donn.
Cheers from Sydney Australia

The inspiration for this hitch originates from Australia. I worked in a farm 80 kms from Esperance back in 2015 and the UTE's had these universal hitch receivers and I immediately liked them. We built adapters for hauling mobile grain silos. I like the freedom it gives you.
@@DonnDIY
That's good to hear Donn.
I hope you enjoyed your time here in Australia!
Cheers.👍🍺🍺🍺👍
Love the towing demonstration, your a world class fabricator, and U-Tube video creator!! Keep up the great work!
nice hitch Donn, way above tractor standards. well made....
Poetry in motion ….. luv watching.
It’s almost a shame to paint your new hitch receiver, the paint hides all of your nice cuts and welds. Awesome work man!
I agree. A clear coat would have been super cool but I understand painting it black
Yes clear would have been great
What it the thing he adds? It is tig welding, but not brazing. What is the rod made of? 🤔🤓
@@TheStuartstardust the welding rod? probably ER-70S2
@@TheStuartstardust IT is tig welding rod. There is a lot of types, but usually the carbon steel ones are coated with copper alloy so they not get rust so easy. Usually ER70S or similar is used.
Beautiful work, as always.
Nice build! Better and more heavy duty then any after market hitch I ever seen.
You are quite the fabricator! I'm very impressed with your ingenuity!
Cheers man!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻This is one of my favorite videos, great job
Уважаю твоё упорство и настойчивость! Ещё мне нравится твоё оборудование , ход твоих мыслей ! Молодец.
I'm not normally fussed for UTVs or ATV but I love watching updates on your homebuild, keep em coming 👊

Wonderful work! We are proud of you!
Looking at the comments, I see guys from all over the world and language from all over the world... looks like you're becoming the God of Makers, man !!! Uniting people with your magical welder...
Nicely laid out and welded 👏👏👏
Noticed that you went back over your tig weld bead,argon/ argo-shield gas as coolent, good weld habit, also 'short-cut' marking out dem hole's..yeah man i know the buzz..well prepared n presented..'do-it-yourself-buzz'..cost effective..well done 👍 awesome 🦾 thnx 🤙✌️👍
Great accessories for the UTV, nicely done! Love the look at 17:38 - gave me a good laugh🤣
Высокая культура производства. Все фаски сняты, изделие облегчено, окрашено! +++
Thing of beauty & functionality!
It is not work when your having this much fun. Keep building and we will keep watching.
Amazing job! So skillfully planned & crafted! You are a very skilled fabricator - thanks so much for sharing! Greetings from South Africa!
My friend that is a thing of beauty!!! Is their nothing you can not make. LOL Bravo sir , excellent job!👍
Great video... lots of fun to watch. Beautiful workmanship on the hitch as well. LJ (Australia)
Outstanding quality!! Love the humor at the end too!
Это, практически, ювелирная работа. Это искусство!
Looks like you have your own theme park ride going on there... Thumbs Up, Nice project, as usual!

Brilliant !😂👍liked the ending !
Well executed! Strong simple and clean !

Your grassboarding skills are EPIC!! now I cant remember what the video was about.. RIDE ON !!!
Man you are awesome, love your work, like the way you think, simple and rugged, your property is. Beautiful, glad to see young people still have a dream and work their butt off to achieve their dream and believe me you got it going on, as long as you keep dreaming up new machines I’ll be watching, thanks for taking the time to show us all your talent
That is very impressive welding. Awesome job!
I'm surprised that I missed this video but it was a great one. Awesome job on the trailer hitch
Very elegant trailer hitch!
At one point, early in the video, the drill cuts very well, despite that it looks like it is turning backwards.
Absolutely awesome !!!! You’re very creative and skilled
Be blessed and stay safe !!!!!
Nice work. always look forward to your videos
Outstanding work Donn! Thanks from Louisiana.
awesome engineering skills
If you must paint, use clear lacquer bro, show off them nice welds and designs! Keep making things and give John Deere something to be nervous about👍🏽
