Building Trailer Ski's for Heavy D

[@timlawson5206]

I love the fact that everyone else is dressed up like polar bears, but Diesel Dave is still rocking the cut off jeans.

[@inlangford]

Dressed up like polar bears? Bears don't wear clothes......

[@TheEmpire822]

Those shorts and Dave are one in the same thing.

[@chriswierchowski]

And boots

[@ajaxracing]

If you haven't tried cut off jeans most comfortable shorts you can get

I like what did for today's subscribers 👊

[@Zogg1281]

If you look at the trailers that they used to use up in and around the Arctic circle, the ski's ran the full length of the trailers to spread the load as much as possible. I'd suggest that you triple the length of those ski's (at least triple, maybe a bit more) before trying to take that trailer up another mountain. You could also make them wider so they extend further underneath the trailer. Hopefully by doing that the trailer won't sink next time

I am a big fan of the Skeeter. My late Grandpa was named Skeeter and watching him reminded me of crazy ass Grandpa Skeeter. Thank you for your time.

My friend has one of those saws. I've seen it, first hand. THEY WORK AWESOME. He whacked his knuckle on it, an BOOM, blade stopped and dropped. He just got a small skin break, it bled a very tiny bit. There. Know you know. Great job on the skis guys!! Thanks, take care, stay safe. See you all in the next vid. Laters.

Yeah! Ski's will also work over trees and rocks! Yeah 👍

[@keitharnett2647]

When worked mines we dragged stuff around years steel plates , remember one deal sold load flat plate steel customer , so drag 100 yd dragline bucket around . Crazy

[@allanblackburn175]

Guys, when cutting angle iron, put the angle on the saw like a pyramid, you cut quicker and theres less drag. If you cut it the way you have, there are too many teeth on the bottom cut 👍

[@bobbobby1846]

For more flotation the ski need to be from driver side to passenger side tires. 1 big square. That way it doesn't sink in the snow. My 2 scents.

[@johnnawrocki6993]

Nice work by the fab shop on the ski's

Let me tell you something your guys build the best skis Hi ever seen heavy D and you are best friends and brothers for life I saw the video that you guys did about the accident let me tell you something I’ve touched my heart because that sure that you guys are really brothers I like how you help out people all the time you guys have good hearts don’t change for no one keep up the videos

Angle iron always cuts faster with the corner facing straight up not down so you're cutting across a flat big section of metal

[@angushoover8670]

Question!!! What if instead of 2 skis, 1 on each side, you built 1 full width 10' long sled? Less ground pressure per square inch, giving a larger floating surface. Plus if you added long skaggs to maintain straight pulling and preventing sideways drift??? Just an idea. Good luck

[@Clankindiesel]

Saw stop table saws are definitely a cool piece I once had a piece kick and got my finger jammed into the blade and it stopped instantly. My friend has a dealership for sawstop so we decided to get one. The nice thing is they can be deactivated for conducting material's.

[@dhag72]

For going downhill, to prevent it kicking out sideways, you should make a rudder, or hell throw an old gas engine out behind it on a chain for like an anchor to keep er from sliding when you don't want it to lol

[@FastEddiesGarage1]

Flip the angle and cut from the tip.

[@mshomeimprovement7161]

I’ve definitely done the 2 left hand gloves trick many times 😂😂

[@rydaddy2867]

Coming from a former Tool Repair Guy, the problem with the StopSaw is EVERYONE wants to test it and the safety stop unit is 1-time use, so you need to replace it at $300 or so every time it's triggered.

[@genuismensa]

They have gone down a lot now. Its less than 100 bucks retail for the cartridge. Then you have a blade that is ruined as well. Those are variable but unless its a nice dado stack, its not that expensive. 150 bucks to have all my digits seems reasonable.

Thanks for making the skiis Looks like it works except for really deep snow. Maybe a center belly panels to compact snow in the center especially before the axles.

Dont test those Saws that auto retract. Your still going to an emergency room if you do. The difference is that with one, your getting stiches, and without it, your discussing if its possible to reattach whatever touched the saw.

[@bryantmoore7998]

That was a great idea

[@HalfAssHomestead]

You do know that the power band saw woks best if you start on the top on the angle, and then let it do it's job right?

[@mesatool367]

I was going to say something like that. Put the angle iron in the "A" position, not the "L" position. Straighter cut and longer blade life....Rookies!

How did Skeeter end up at sparks motors from Matts offroad recovery? Just curious. Great video guys!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@delbutler885]

Skeeter moved on from Matt's when Trevor did. Skeeter then went to do stuff with Hunter Goodrich who used to work for Dave. Then Dave offered Skeeter a job paying more than Hunter by a ways. Skeeter took it and pissed Hunter off. But last week Hunter was in California plowing snow with Dave.

[@Ifyouarehurtnointentwasapplied]

Would those trailer ski's follow the trailer better if they had a couple of rails/ blade's underneath and the back of them a flat drop down surface to drive into and out of them ?

[@skipgarnier5122]

I like the skis for the trailer... But do you have skaggs on the skis to keep it from sliding sideways That's why snowmobile skis have skaggs

[@skeeterbuildsit6016]

Yes rob talks about them

[@azrider2011]

Good job guys

[@noonehere1793]

Seems to me that the skis would need to distribute the weight from front to rear much like the tracks do on a snow machine. If the weight is focused on just the wheels i think it will not work, but if you had full length runners attached to the trailer at multiple points it would be a pretty good idea….well that takes car of my .02 cents worth……

[@antoniobarros6432]

Ótima idéia os skis parabéns

[@christiedovale7827]

[@TedMusgrove-t7w]

Why not place the same size at both ends? That way, the snow can't fall into the inside so much and you can go backwards easier.

Saw stop, they use a hot dog to demonstrate. It sends a rod into the blade

[@piercechannell8909]

I’d love to see the engineering behind stuff like this. I’m an engineering student and always wonder if this stuff is just come up with kind of on the spot or if it’s made in CAD and how it’s tested before you make them?

Would you guys kindly send me a link to get the stuff your smoking.........Thanks..!

[@B4bizarre]

👍👍👍

[@kennethmello5353]

I strongly would recommend not touching the circular, saw blade to see if it has the emergency auto stop. That kit that mounts to the saw is a one and done kit. Once you activate it, it is destroyed and sometimes destroys the saw. It is well worth it because it can save your fingers, but do you really wanna find out the hard way if it actually works?

[@QargZer]

They used a rigid job site saw and the fact someone wanted to test it's ability to retract the blade is extremely scary as they don't even have a sawstop.. The replacement kit is $100 and they will likely need to replace the saw blade but $150-$200 is cheaper than an ER visit and permanent damage. Nothing else on the machine would be damaged if you trip the sawstop function on a sawstop.
