I have faithfully followed this entire build from day one, so I think I have some standing in the game and I think I speak for a majority of your viewers when I say that we want to see a full video devoted to ONLY you and your trailer/atv in the woods filling that trailer up to the top with logs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Восхитительный проект, смотрел с самого начала и до последней серии. Шикарная установка получилась, прицеп с манипулятором, ещё с подключаемым приводом, изменяемым центром нагрузки, супер!!! По виду как с завода, даже лучше. Молодец, слов нет. Руки золотые. Смотрел так же как мастерскую под резак готовил, убирал старое оборудование, пол переделывал, стены прошивал панелями, в итоге станок собрал, резак по металлу. Моё вам почтение, уважаю трудолюбивых, целеустремлённых людей. Спасибо за видео.
me too. I foresee problems arising when he tries to move the axle position on the trailer, when it's still got the PTO hooked to the ATV. Gears binding up and what not. Unless there is a clutch of some description that can be released and re-engaged once desired wheel position is achieved. That's my 2 cent take on it. Otherwise, I think it's freaking awesome of a build. Edit: I re-read my comment and realise that I forgot to add part of what I meant to say, and that was; Unless there is a clutch of some description "that can be fitted", that can be released and re-engaged once desired wheel position is achieved. Sorry, sometimes I miss part of what I intend to type.
@@TheHungrySlug In view of the alignment challenge I was thinking he might be planning to use a hydraulic drive mounted at the front end of the trailer’s drive shaft.
@@TheHungrySlug There's no clutch. There's also a bigger problem that I'm pretty sure he's going to find. This isn't an easy concept to get across, but basically, If you have a normal trailer and pull the drag bar around at 90' to the usual direction of travel, one wheel will rotate forwards, but the other will go backwards. that's fine on separate free wheeling hubs. If on the other hand, you have a differential in there and do the same you'll end up with the forward rotation of one wheel cancelling out the reversed rotation of the other, and the input shaft will stay still, but if you're powering that input shaft, the trailer WILL move. When doing tight manoeuvres, like U turns, there's going to be times when the ATV is at quite a large angle to the log trailer. The powered trailer wheels are still going to be trying to move along at the same speed as the ATV's wheels, but the ATV will be traveling at a tangent, so it won't be moving as far in the direction that the trailers pointing per wheel revolution as the trailer want's to (I think Pythagoras get's the blame for that). So, what's going to happen is as the ATV turns, the trailers going to start trying to push it. As the angle between the trailer and ATV increases, the difference in distance the ATV moves Vs how far the trailer wants to move grows, until it jack knifes the ATV. when the trailers loaded it's likely to have more grip than the ATV, so this will make the problem show up sooner. The scary part is that as soon as the ATV starts to get pushed, it'll escalate into a full on jack knife fast, and there won't be much time to do anything about it. I'm not just theorising here either. Years back the British army experimented with PTO powered trailers for their Landrovers, and after several injuries due to jack knifing, they realised that having assets occasionally needing to be pulled out of mud/sand was preferable to having the asset damaged and stranded on it's side in a war zone (with the crew potentially injured). There's also been problems with a few other army's attempts at AWD articulated vehicles. It's a known issue that seems to have been largely forgotten due to there being hardly any "Dumb" (Rather than ones having a proprietary clutch and sensor system built in) PTO powered trailers existing anymore......... And the reason for them not being common is this exact problem ! I think the last powered trailer I read about used a PTO driven pump to power hydraulic motors on the wheels, and it used a proportional valve to adjust the flow to the motors based on the hitch angle. The manufacturer wouldn't have gone to all the added expense if a direct drive worked as is. I originally brought this up a few months back, but a handful of sycophantic fans shot me down for daring to question the all encompassing knowledge of Donn. The guy's human, and he can't see every engineering problem before it happens, but I was blasted hard enough that I decided to just wait for it to be finished and see what happens. I'm guessing the next video will most likely show who's right. One solution that I suggested back then was that he could remove this problem (and incidentally remove the problem with the wheels turning while changing the wheelbase) by fitting a viscus drive coupling from a Landrover Freelander onto the trailers drive shaft. This would mean the trailers wheels would almost freewheel until the ATV started to wheelspin, then difference in wheel speeds would wake up the viscus coupling and send drive to all wheels.
Can’t wait for the ultimate wood harvesting video from Donnie. Cutting down the trees and hauling with this all the way to being stacked in the totes with his conveyor belt.
While I believe that I could learn to skills needed to build this I would never have the vision to design it. That’s more impressive to me than the fabrication.
YOU WENT THROUGH A HELL OF A LOT OF WORK TO GET THAT DONE . THIS IS THE FIREST TIME I WATCHED IT ALL THE WAY FROM THE START . YOU DID ONE HELL OF A JOB .
Well, I can assure you we won't be seeing any products from this shop blowing away down the neighborhood along with the other trampolines and garbage cans. This adds emphasis and understanding to the old phrase, "heavy man, that's heavy!" Kudos
Absolutely amazing Donny. Your skills are unparalleled & you never cease to impress. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm afraid your next project will have to be very spectacular to rival this built. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.
Love seeing a man with a brain,making a useful tool for making work easier,I cut lots of firewood also would love seeing the design better,well done!!!

Enjoyed this, in my experience there is one issue with powered trailers to be aware of - if the towing vehicle looses traction but the trailer doesn’t they can jackknife and turn the vehicle over.
Bob the ones that happened to me were going forwards in a turn and happen at what ever speed you are moving. If it’s slow enough you can get the clutch in first.
Ok, 51:54 one thing you should strongly consider to extend the life of those bearings is adding boots and caps over them (the outside ones). You're never going to flex this trailer past... 45 degrees, that'd be troublesome for the way it balances, so IMO, you could get a bellow boot for something like a machinery piston and make a small bracket to hold them. The outside is easy, just a plain old cap made from even a dish bowl like shape that bolts over it. In my own experience, those kinds of bearings don't last long when grit gets in them. Other than that 12/10 project. This looks like something i'd go to the agricultural shop to buy. Pro level.
This is an awesome project! Lots of work you have done with this. The hydraulically sliding axle is good for helping out as well when you are stuck. And if the wheel bearings won't hold the weight then the sleeves are an option to space up the outer bearing. Cheers mate! 👍 Waiting for the demo day! 😜
What an amazing fabricator you are. Inception though to paint and demonstration. One thing - you never showed the drive shaft of the trailer being driven by the PTO on the "tractor", or did I miss that? It seems to me you err on the side of strength in your designs, which is natural when you aren't sure. I wonder if some nice software company out there could train you on the FEA software so you could lighten the design and therefore the end product? You certainly deserve to be supported by the latest computer aided design software.
I am also waiting for the PTO to be connected as well as some expanded metal sides to contain short pieces and split firewood. You are an amazing engineer and fabricator as well as a pleasure to watch.
Your skills are pretty amazing! I enjoyed every single episode of this timber trailer fabrication and can't wait to see what come up with your next project! Keep doing that amazing stuff! All the best for you!
Wow! My hat to you Donn, absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing your ingenuity and "savoir-faire" with the community. You are giving me hope in mankind - Peace be with you, Ciao, L (Veteran)
Fantastic machine! It’s going to make log processing so much quicker and easier- super important in these times of ridiculous energy costs. You are a very talented engineer Donn 👏👍
Looking forward to seeing pto drive being used. Presumably the trailer’s axle position is set first, before the shaft is connected. I have a homemade log saw, the pto shaft on it has an overrun clutch built in. Could this be used to help lineup the splines when connecting the pto shaft? Love the build.
They sell a one-way clutch for the old Ford (Ferguson) 8N and similar tractors with the solid PTO output drive. Such a one-way clutch is essential on these old tractors because a large bush-hog or similar high speed implement will keep pushing the tractor forward even if you step on the clutch. Not having this clutch Makes for interesting driving around ponds and buildings especially since the brakes are quite useless. Donn could install this commercially available one-way clutch and eliminate any driveshaft binding. The clutch would also act as a simple center differential when driving in tight corners.
@@carld3184 it serves the opposite purpose for my log saw. The 700mm blade has quite a lot of momentum. If I switch the pto off, the tractor brakes the pto. The momentum of the blade would wind the blade’s retaining nut off, if not for the overrun clutch. We have an IH B275 from 1960, terrible brakes.
Donn, this by far is the best build on You Tube video I ever watched. You are on another level. Pure talent of engineering. I want to see this beast in action with full capacity.
Great project with a fabulous looking result, can't wait to see it on challenging ground with the pto connected and full of timber. Well done Donn, you inspire a lot of us "Freds in sheds", keep it up. Have you got the next project on the drawing board yet?
That is amazing, worth the wait watching as you built this. Just curious, why didn't you show it with the PTO hooked up, are you waiting for the right shaft or are there complications? Thank you for all of the amazing content amd entertainment, cannot wait to see what your next big fabrication project is!
This has turned out so good! It looks amazing and can't wait to see it perform when driven by the PTO. Do you have a plan for extending and retracting the wheelbase while connected to the PTO, or will you just disconnect it while you make any changes?
@@kameljoe21 I understand that, but as the wheels are moved, there is rotation in the PTO shaft. If the 4X4 is stationary, how will this work? There would need to be either a slipper clutch or some way of disconnecting the PTO from the 4X4
@@MalcySP The pto comes out of of the rear of the ATV which spins at the same rate as the wheels on the atv. The diff is the PTO pretty much. The quick change pto adapter connects to the trailer which then drives the rear wheels. Think of it like this, The drive shaft rotates the atv wheels and that same drive shaft rotates the trailer wheels. They are all connected as one unit. Much like a US Semi with tandem axes would. The pto shaft just expands in and out. Square tube inside of another square tube turn the rear diff connencted to the wheels. The only time you need to remove the pto shaft is when you disconnect the trailer.
@@kameljoe21 watch the video when Donn is extending and retracting the wheels on the trailer. The wheels are on the ground and you can see the diff input shaft (ultimately connected to the PTO output of the ATV) rotating as the wheels move alomg the ground. So if the PTO was connected to the ATV and the wheelbase is adjusted, then the PTO will try to move but as the ATV is stationary, something will need to slip or be disconnected.
@@kameljoe21 what he means is, as the trailer extends when the ATV is stationary, the trailers wheels will turn as the hydralic cylinder pushes them backwards, this will create a rotation in all 4 trailer wheels and if the ATV cannot roll there needs to be some sort of clutch or disconnecting the shaft so it doesn't cause damage. This would not cause a problem if the ATV can roll (eg the park brake isn't on)
A jack of all trades is a master at none but a jack of all trades is better then 1. Great job. Also I know your probably a master of at least 1 trade but your knowledge spans far into other trades making you capable of building such great things all by yourself. No fabricator who only knows how to weld could make this.
Nice build! I pick up my bigger logs with my tractor, then hold them over a wagon while I cut them to length. Then using a board, I roll them right onto my splitters beam and split them. That saves a LOT of back breaking work, not having to lift those heavy rounds by hand. My splitter shoves the splits right off the end onto a grate and then right into my "self-unloading" trailer! That saves even more work! SR
Great, I also watched the video from start to finish. I found the production of the bogie axles very interesting. I also wanted to build bogie axles but with gears instead of chains. My eternal idea of building a mini forwarder was always a dream that I will probably never do. But respect 👍🏻👍🏻
@@DonnDIY I admire Your work and that`s fact . What many watchers obserw there are planty of very good examples of valuable projects made by our close neighbours, Keeo up your work and let us enjoy it
@47:25. Yeah.. Me too. Well done, especially for the key way of the spline drive shaft; need extra machining setup for keyway to be milled at this length.
An absolute joy to watch you work mate you are a real class act. Your fabrication skills are on a whole different level. Blessings from Shropshire England.
I am honestly not sure what’s more impressive, you’re creativity or you’re skill. Congratulations man, this is an extremely impressive build and I have enjoyed watching this
What a great couple of builds! What`s next, a custom tractor, bulldozer, backhoe, excavator, welldriller combo?! Or how about a supercar? I can`t wait to see what`s next! Take care
I strive to obtain the level of technical knowledge and tooling equipment to construct this type of equipment. This is both amazing and fascinating. Well done!
Just perfect!! Your mind is Sharp! I think it's better to protect the main shaft of the trailler by using a protection metal cover in case of wood touch
What a fantastic build! This video really showed your machinist and engineering ability’s. That claw will be such a labor, and back saving device. Really want to see it operating as an 8X8!
This whole build, including the atv and plow, as we as the trailer has been astounding. I've said before that you've spent a lot of time building this in your head, before you ever started tearing apart the Pugeot to get your engine and drive bits. This whole thing needs to be filmed in action. A couple months from now, you'll have enough snow to justify hooking up the driveshaft. Looking forward to seeing it in action.
This is the single most impressive thing I’ve ever seen built. Not just on youtube. In general. You sir, are a true master! Congratulations! I’ve been following this build over every episode, and I can only imagine how much work must have gone into it. Bravo!
Well done my friend pay no attention to the naysayers trial and error will bring any problems to light and can be addressed as you find them. I do see a modular dump bed and or flat bed being handy. Keep the videos coming.
Everything I’ve watched you build is great. I’ve designed and built several pieces of equipment for myself and my employer’s but not to this caliber. Very good job, waiting to see what is next.
Excellent work! I really enjoyed the video. I did want to see the drive shaft hooked all the way up, but maybe that's just for snow. I made a 10K trailer and a small crane for urban logging and collecting firewood. This fall I made an extension for the crane to go up 18' so I could put shingles and plywood on my roof from the trailer. It's come in handy. My crane pivots in a 6.5" pipe 12" long sleeved with copper and a 6" pipe on the bottom of the crane slides in it.
Awesome my dude. I watched this entire build when you were making this. I just had to come back and watch again. Can't wait until you have some more videos putting it to work.
Wow, that looks like it came out of a factory! I think the people you bought the crane from would be impressed. I think it needs a catchy name now, something other than just "timber trailer". Thanks for sharing.
Awesome 👌 Great job 👍 You are very talented engineers! Good luck 👍 People's like you can build our lives easier! 💪 Fantastic!👏 You give me great ideas to upgrade my John deere!
Donn you are a myth. I've been following you since you built the amphibious vehicle or maybe before, I don't even remember it. However in all these years you have continued to improve and so have your constructions, this 4x4 Timber Trailer is magnificent and I believe the next invention will be even better. Now I'm officially your FAN, congratulations, keep it up !!

I have a homemade log saw, the pto shaft on it has an overrun clutch built in. Could this be used to help lineup the splines when connecting the pto shaft? Love the build.
They sell a one-way clutch for the old Ford (Ferguson) 8N and similar tractors with the solid PTO output drive.
Such a one-way clutch is essential on these old tractors because a large bush-hog or similar high speed implement will keep pushing the tractor forward even if you step on the clutch.
Not having this clutch Makes for interesting driving around ponds and buildings especially since the brakes are quite useless.
Donn could install this commercially available one-way clutch and eliminate any driveshaft binding.
The clutch would also act as a simple center differential when driving in tight corners.
@@carld3184 it serves the opposite purpose for my log saw. The 700mm blade has quite a lot of momentum. If I switch the pto off, the tractor brakes the pto. The momentum of the blade would wind the blade’s retaining nut off, if not for the overrun clutch. We have an IH B275 from 1960, terrible brakes.
Donn, this by far is the best build on You Tube video I ever watched. You are on another level. Pure talent of engineering. I want to see this beast in action with full capacity.
wow good video
Verneige mich vor so einem begnadeten Handwerker, genial👍👍👍
Great project with a fabulous looking result, can't wait to see it on challenging ground with the pto connected and full of timber.
Well done Donn, you inspire a lot of us "Freds in sheds", keep it up. Have you got the next project on the drawing board yet?

отличная работа, завидую твоей упертости! в хорошем смысле)
That is amazing, worth the wait watching as you built this. Just curious, why didn't you show it with the PTO hooked up, are you waiting for the right shaft or are there complications? Thank you for all of the amazing content amd entertainment, cannot wait to see what your next big fabrication project is!
3 cups of coffee and complete satisfaction for the morning. Great job!
This has turned out so good! It looks amazing and can't wait to see it perform when driven by the PTO. Do you have a plan for extending and retracting the wheelbase while connected to the PTO, or will you just disconnect it while you make any changes?
The wheels move back and forth with a sliding drive shaft. The pto shaft is a farm shaft that can expand great lengths.
@@kameljoe21 I understand that, but as the wheels are moved, there is rotation in the PTO shaft. If the 4X4 is stationary, how will this work? There would need to be either a slipper clutch or some way of disconnecting the PTO from the 4X4
@@MalcySP The pto comes out of of the rear of the ATV which spins at the same rate as the wheels on the atv. The diff is the PTO pretty much. The quick change pto adapter connects to the trailer which then drives the rear wheels. Think of it like this, The drive shaft rotates the atv wheels and that same drive shaft rotates the trailer wheels. They are all connected as one unit. Much like a US Semi with tandem axes would. The pto shaft just expands in and out. Square tube inside of another square tube turn the rear diff connencted to the wheels. The only time you need to remove the pto shaft is when you disconnect the trailer.
@@kameljoe21 watch the video when Donn is extending and retracting the wheels on the trailer. The wheels are on the ground and you can see the diff input shaft (ultimately connected to the PTO output of the ATV) rotating as the wheels move alomg the ground. So if the PTO was connected to the ATV and the wheelbase is adjusted, then the PTO will try to move but as the ATV is stationary, something will need to slip or be disconnected.
@@kameljoe21 what he means is, as the trailer extends when the ATV is stationary, the trailers wheels will turn as the hydralic cylinder pushes them backwards, this will create a rotation in all 4 trailer wheels and if the ATV cannot roll there needs to be some sort of clutch or disconnecting the shaft so it doesn't cause damage. This would not cause a problem if the ATV can roll (eg the park brake isn't on)
A jack of all trades is a master at none but a jack of all trades is better then 1. Great job. Also I know your probably a master of at least 1 trade but your knowledge spans far into other trades making you capable of building such great things all by yourself. No fabricator who only knows how to weld could make this.
Talk about over engineered, that thing is a beast & should last forever & a bit, I love it.
Dude let me just say that your skills are priceless, your level of professionalism is on its own level👍🇺🇲
Nice build! I pick up my bigger logs with my tractor, then hold them over a wagon while I cut them to length. Then using a board, I roll them right onto my splitters beam and split them. That saves a LOT of back breaking work, not having to lift those heavy rounds by hand. My splitter shoves the splits right off the end onto a grate and then right into my "self-unloading" trailer! That saves even more work! SR
Great, I also watched the video from start to finish. I found the production of the bogie axles very interesting. I also wanted to build bogie axles but with gears instead of chains. My eternal idea of building a mini forwarder was always a dream that I will probably never do. But respect 👍🏻👍🏻
You sir are a badass. I build stuff all the time and you have my respect
I`m proud to know that you are polish , smart and hard working citizen of my country
Thank you for the kind words, but I'm estonian from Estonia. But still - not far from Poland. So basically the same.😀
@@DonnDIY I admire Your work and that`s fact . What many watchers obserw there are planty of very good examples of valuable projects made by our close neighbours, Keeo up your work and let us enjoy it
@47:25. Yeah.. Me too. Well done, especially for the key way of the spline drive shaft; need extra machining setup for keyway to be milled at this length.
An absolute joy to watch you work mate you are a real class act. Your fabrication skills are on a whole different level. Blessings from Shropshire England.
I am honestly not sure what’s more impressive, you’re creativity or you’re skill. Congratulations man, this is an extremely impressive build and I have enjoyed watching this
В моём словаре нет тех эпитетов, которые могут выразить восхищение! Талант!

What a great couple of builds! What`s next, a custom tractor, bulldozer, backhoe, excavator, welldriller combo?! Or how about a supercar? I can`t wait to see what`s next! Take care
I strive to obtain the level of technical knowledge and tooling equipment to construct this type of equipment. This is both amazing and fascinating. Well done!
Just perfect!! Your mind is Sharp!
I think it's better to protect the main shaft of the trailler by using a protection metal cover in case of wood touch
mechanical engineering and intelligence made an incredible machine, 👏🏻
What a fantastic build! This video really showed your machinist and engineering ability’s.
That claw will be such a labor, and back saving device.
Really want to see it operating as an 8X8!
This whole build, including the atv and plow, as we as the trailer has been astounding. I've said before that you've spent a lot of time building this in your head, before you ever started tearing apart the Pugeot to get your engine and drive bits. This whole thing needs to be filmed in action. A couple months from now, you'll have enough snow to justify hooking up the driveshaft. Looking forward to seeing it in action.
You my Internet friend are a very good deep thinker and what you have built is the result
Perfekt das ist ja eine Meister Arbeit der Antrieb mit Allrad und zum schieben ! ! ! 🔧💪👍👌
This is the single most impressive thing I’ve ever seen built. Not just on youtube. In general. You sir, are a true master! Congratulations! I’ve been following this build over every episode, and I can only imagine how much work must have gone into it. Bravo!
Well done my friend pay no attention to the naysayers trial and error will bring any problems to light and can be addressed as you find them. I do see a modular dump bed and or flat bed being handy. Keep the videos coming.
You have come A very long way from the first logging arch trailer I watched you build. We’ll planed and expertly built.
Pretty cool, can't wait to see it pawing it's way through a swamp with a load of logs on it. Awesome video Donn.
You sir should have millions and millions of subscribers.
Everything I’ve watched you build is great. I’ve designed and built several pieces of equipment for myself and my employer’s but not to this caliber.
Very good job, waiting to see what is next.
It is ALIVE!!!! Awesome 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself 🇨🇦
This is one of the coolest engineering and build videos I’ve ever seen. Good friggin work man.
Молодец,мужик,золотые руки и оборудование шикарное,нет слов,все супер и завод и НИИ,все в одном лице.
My friend you are a fabricating genius.
Да я чуть не расплакался, что ему гайки не подносил. Шедеврально!!!!!!!!!! А сварка... Вообще на 5+.
What an absolute genius. Your amazing.
Thank you for watching🙏
Настоящий инженер конструктор,малодец !!! Привет с Кыргызстана ! 🕋🇰🇬🌱🌎🌿👍👍👍
1 word... Genius. Cant wait to see you drive it loaded in the snow..
My favourite metalworker on RUclips 🙌
Good job donn 👌👍
Excellent work! I really enjoyed the video. I did want to see the drive shaft hooked all the way up, but maybe that's just for snow. I made a 10K trailer and a small crane for urban logging and collecting firewood. This fall I made an extension for the crane to go up 18' so I could put shingles and plywood on my roof from the trailer. It's come in handy. My crane pivots in a 6.5" pipe 12" long sleeved with copper and a 6" pipe on the bottom of the crane slides in it.
This video is of a true hero for home engineering!
Dang!!! That's bloody fantastic. A fine piece of craftmanship and work.
Awesome my dude. I watched this entire build when you were making this. I just had to come back and watch again. Can't wait until you have some more videos putting it to work.
Unbelievable. Incredibly talented. Beautiful equipment.
I've used the word excellent many times about your work and I expect to use it many times more
Wow, that looks like it came out of a factory! I think the people you bought the crane from would be impressed. I think it needs a catchy name now, something other than just "timber trailer". Thanks for sharing.
Damn that was an awesome sick build! Thank!
This is one of the coolest projects on RUclips! Well done!!!
Awesome 👌 Great job 👍
You are very talented engineers!
Good luck 👍 People's like you can build our lives easier! 💪
Fantastic!👏
You give me great ideas to upgrade my John deere!
Donn you are a myth. I've been following you since you built the amphibious vehicle or maybe before, I don't even remember it. However in all these years you have continued to improve and so have your constructions, this 4x4 Timber Trailer is magnificent and I believe the next invention will be even better. Now I'm officially your FAN, congratulations, keep it up !!
Bravo copile , esti un mecanic desavirsit . Felicitari ! Salutari din Romania!
