    your videos always remind me of a german children‘s program called „Sendung Mit Der Maus“ (Sandra will know...) - always something curious to see, always something new to learn and always with charm and fun and two lovely hosts and adorable animals ;) i really enjoy watching your videos ♥️

    I did something similar by removing the box from my garden trailer and screwing the axle supports to 4x4" lumber. I was able to pick up and move a 9x12' shed with it.

    If the pallets are (roughly) standard mass, you could have a counter-weight on the arms?

    👍👌👏 What a simple { ingenious = simply fantastic addition for the horse cart. Very well done, Sirs!
    This manually fork lift will come in handy for more than transporting the fabulous henbarrows for sure.
    Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing.
    Best regards luck and health to all of you (humans, animals and plants.

    I think the best solution would have been to extend the shop railway down the driveway. Looks like plenty of space along either side, or even just in the middle. More trains are always the answer. :)

      @WayOutWestx2  4 года назад

      Love to do that, but there are places where there just isn't enough room. Unless it went down the middle, but that would mean lots of concrete or it would quickly get destroyed by the traffic

    wonderful. more of a pallet mover than a forklift. : simple and eggscllent. spending monies . hem. a next door neighbor made a attachement for his bucket loader tractor. took pipe , and some forklift forks and it sets neatly behind the bucket . he can move things around with ease .

    How much effort do you have to put in to push those bars down to level while you're moving? I'm wondering if some sort of detachable counter-weight might be useful to balance it out?

    Oh right, you could put it on a horse. I was thinking a cover weight between the handles to help pick it up/steer

    • @mr.anonymous5501
      @mr.anonymous5501 3 года назад

      You'd need a counter balance to lift weight as heavy as hydraulic pallet trucks, and even then I don't think this would hold up to the kind of use a hydraulic pallet truck can handle. That being said, I don't think the point is to equal or better a hydraulic pallet truck, and what he's built is probably sufficient for the purpose he intended. It's a good example of ingenuity, and in some ways it's better than a regular pallet truck. For instance, the way the wheels are able to move across uneven, soft ground.

  • @red80808
    @red80808 4 года назад

    You could make a weight to counter balance once youve got it in the pallet so you dont have to work so hard against the weight of the pallet&hen barrow

    • @WayOutWestx2
      @WayOutWestx2  4 года назад

      It's true, but when the pallet is unloaded the weight would work against me?

      @red80808 4 года назад

      @@WayOutWestx2 yes good point, didnt think of that. But you could wheel it back like a normal load. It can still be lighter than the hen Barrow, just something to help stabilize it. Love the channel!! And the horses ❤
