@@homesteadonomics That's what I love about youtube, as you indicated at the end of your video, it is great when a persons ideas prove helpful in sparking new ideas. Thanks again, have a great weekend, Ben 👋😎👍
@@twinbrookacres Good afternoon Rick, I watched a lot of videos and settled on this design. I am really happy with how well it is working. Yes, being able to easily switch out the weights is really nice. Thanks Rick, have a great weekend, Ben 👋😎👍🍻
Those were some really good modifications. The two 60 pound weights sure got the job done. Nice use of those railway equipment wheels Ben. Have a great day.
@@Viper6-MotoVlogger Good afternoon Rob, with the heavier weights I needed to beef up the structure. I am really happy with how well it is working. I love repurposing materials. You too, have a great day! 🐾🐾👋😎👍🍻
@@RCAFpolarexpress Good afternoon Dave, thank you for your kind words. I had a great time building this project and it is working very well. Have a great weekend my friend, Ben 👋😎👍🍻
You got a good workout just moving the weights around 😉👍🏻. Nice change Ben the 60lbs do a great job and you have a choice depending on how bad the washout is 👍🏻. Have a great weekend my friend 🙋🏼♂🇨🇦☕
@@OrangeismyNewGreen Hello Luc, it is really nice to be able to increase the weight depending on the job and how aggressive the rack needs to be. I had a great time building it and I am happy with how well it is working out. You too, have a great weekend my friend! Hope the rain holds off and you get to enjoy your beautiful patio! Ben 👋😎👍🍻
Well done Ben! You improved this rake incredibly: The supports either side of the wheel, the longer point of pull, the two hinges instead of just one, the larger weight options. Now you almost have this thing perfect. Just a few suggestions and you'll have it finished: Cup holder, stereo, coffee maker, sun shade, microwave, refrigerator, bunk bed and a window to look out of. Even without these finishing touches it's pretty darn good! Enjoyed watching!
@@EverydayProjects Good afternoon Craig, thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate them.. and too funny, I guess I will have to do a little more welding. 😂👍 Have a great weekend, Ben 👋😎👍🍻
Great upgrade on the trail groomer Ben, definitely much more robust. Having the 3 different modes sure makes the system more versatile. The 60 pounders mode was the on for the job. Have a great day!
@@JelenOutDoors Good afternoon Paul, thanks so much! Now that I am a retired fella I am enjoying building/playing with these types of projects. I am really happy with how well it works. You too Paul, have a great day, Ben 👋😎👍🍻
That’s a great build Ben, a thought flashed in my head of a bigger setup for my tractor as I have many logging roads a trails that this thing would be beneficial. Excellent job very innovative as always. Take care.
@@russellbelliveau1694 Good morning Russell, we think alike. We have a ratchet rake which fits on the bucket of our little tractor and I have been thinking of coming up with a way to attach it to the back of the tractor or make one from a piece of robust 6" angle we have on hand. We also find the ratchet rake is great on the driveway when it is icy. Hope you are not getting too much rain. So far, we are having thick, thick fog.👋😎👍🍻
Great tool Ben. Need a winch now to lift and lower it. 👋 Oh boy, I could just see my shins hitting that angle iron, if I wore shorts. Better get some Dave special warning paint on there. You might need permission from Dave thou. 🤭🤭 Have a great day Ben. 👋👋👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦⛏️🪨
@@noelstractors-firewood57 Good afternoon Noel👋, actually you make a good point. It would hurt like the dickens if I walked into the corner of the thing😬🚧🚧 You too Noel, have a great day 👋😎👍☔️🍻
How's she goin'? Some nice tweaking done there Ben. The lift system is sure a big improvement. That's neat to that it's so easy to make the adjustments from the seat!! The extra weight sure looks like the best solution. It does a nice job. Thanks for the update. Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop Thanks Mike 👍 I really enjoy working with the design of these types of projects. Problem solving and making them better. I found your latest video on problem solving and building a computer really interesting. Have a good one, Ben 👋😎👍
@@retiredforlife63 Good afternoon Brian, thanks so much!The weights were given to me. I am not really sure what they are off of. They have a lip on one side only so I am thinking they are from railway equipment. Have a great weekend, Ben 👋😎👍🍻
Great build! I like the modifications you’ve implemented too! And thanks for the mention as well😊🙏

That is a slick setup! What are your weights from? They look like some kind of steel wheel from something that ran on a track.
