So Good to See You Again, Donn. You are in my top channels that, when I see a new video, my heart skips a beat and then the "Christmas Morning at 6 years old" feeling, sets in. 😀

[@bambusizdrowie3979]

So true !

[@jamesa7506]

The wheels came out awesome! 👍

[@jlucasound]

They are Gorgeous!

[@barthanes1]

Timber trailer improvements, can't wait.

[@jlucasound]

That style Diff (5:09) is _Essential_ with CVs, for ground clearance. Front AND Rear. You are so good Donn.

[@davidspilman531]

Your running some nice beads on your shaft your really good At fabricating also but I’ve seen this yrs ago watching you I really enjoy your channel

[@jlucasound]

Don't you love it when you can go into your stash and find exactly what you need?! So Satisfying. 😌😊

[@jeepanimal2943]

Looking forwarder to this build Donn. Waiting to see it move along. You always come up with some interesting solutions to obstacles..

[@DanKoning777]

Well done-and if the final start-to-finish series is anywhere near as good as the 4x4 timber trailer series, I look forward to watching that a couple of times as well.

[@051biohaz]

I don’t really know what you are building, but I am very much looking forward to following along. Thanks for the upload..:)

[@rolandbriscoe4977]

Dang those Wheels look nice, can't wait to see the build.

[@bchdsailor]

You make it look so darn simple to do, and your builds always comes out as close to perfect as possible

[@Crewsy]

You’ve come a long way from the videos when so many people thought you’d burn down your barn because you were grinding next to your fire wood or had a long extension cord rolled up on a reel. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Donn, if it don't fit don't force it. "GET A BIGGER HAMMER" Thanks for sharing with us, and sharing the fab jobs you do so well. Stay safe and Happy Holidays to you and your families. Fred.

[@joenorman7070]

Man, you have no need for a gym. What a workout.

[@monoshock57]

Nice power coating on those rims.

[@yodasbff3395]

Your workmanship is awesome, thanks for sharing the video. 👍

[@carloskawasaki656]

Thank you for sharing, always a pleasure when i see you drop a video, i learn a lot, i am very glad when i see your project 👍👍👍👍

[@noahingram8052]

You can buy a valve stem installer tool to make that easier

[@Evilslayer73]

Cant wait to see the next episode!! another excellent project series !!nice work young man! salutation from Montreal,Québec!

[@BusstterNutt]

Thank you for all the hard work in making these excellent videos.

[@728dogger]

So glad you're back great vid!

[@AW-Services]

Donn, if you ever struggle to get new or replacement tyres to seat, add a 5 ton ratchet strap around the centre circumference of the tyre, which in turn pushed the bead up to the rim. Your welding, along with the powder coating, makes those wheels look like OEM brand new factory rims. Great job

[@aserta]

You don't even need it to be a 5T one. I've done it with a regular army type belt, and a piece of wood. You only need it to persuade the tire to "bow out" just enough that the air pressure does the rest of the work. In a pinch, you could probably do it with a piece of chain, some random wire, anything that can bend the tire.

[@victorriceroni8455]

In a time far far away, in a place long long ago, the lost tribes of Redneckistan would use starting fluid and an open flame to bead up the now extinct Ground Hawg tires. But alas, civilization encroached upon this once mighty culture, and now the Redneckistani youth sit in their primitive dwellings playing Fortnight, and has forsaken the Ancient and Wrathful Carburetor Gods.

[@pauljoseph8338]

Ratchet??? Naw, man…all u needs is some gasoline and a cigarette lighter (according to a thousand Indian videos I’ve seen).

[@jlucasound]

That has to be the most sensible seat yet. Lightweight, strong, comfortable and has Lumbar support. This would also be awesome in a boat. I see people build projects and they put LAWN CHAIRS in them. Or seats with "backrests" that stop at your Coccyx! Ow!! Thank You Donn for your attention to detail in this possibly sensitive area. 🤔😌🙏🪑👀🙀😮‍💨

[@jimsvideos7201]

Remarkable work as always Donn.

[@rjung_ch]

Those rims came out really nice after paint. What tough tires to mount though. Liking this build and where it's going, thanks Donn 👍💪✌

[@lightscrafts]

Looking forwad to the next video Donn! 👏

[@VAGstore]

Отличная идея 6х6 Донн, ждем новых серий

[@aserta]

1:40 FYI for all: The sound you hear from a tire, when pressed against a rim, that almost sounds like a crackle, almost as if you've broken something, is the strands of high tensile wire that form up the lip of the tire, twisting inside their gap. Nothing problematic, in short.

[@Crewsy]

@6:15 Such a rebel with the knife 🔪

[@evan010101]

Great project! Consider making it electric. You can get an old Leaf for €1000 or so - lots of power and the transmission will be very simpl. Use a normal AC motor for the hydraulics.

[@DanKoning777]

I think I'd stay with the current setup considering the fact that Estonia [Donn's location], consistently experiences interruptions/power outages [like the one in the last video]. I also recall seeing them in past videos. After searching I guess they are nothing new and due: to demand, natural disasters, pricing, grid disruptions, and more-even solar power that causes supply fluctuations during sunny periods. Anyway, it's just an observation. Good day.

[@kieranosullivan02]

Nice job already coming together

[@ALWhiteAuthor]

When you pulled out the exact utility knife the package warned not to use, all I could see was the "Be ungovernable" meme. Quality content, as always, sir.

[@Tom-Lahaye]

Seeing you fighting with that tyre and finally managing to get it on I thought; another 5 to go, sweat broke out.

[@fred-san]

Nice to watch you. Hope you had good summer-automn. Nice winter anyway.🚙

[@smaggies]

Thank Donn Great amount of work and do enjoy your welding. :)

[@jondavidmcnabb]

I liked the mix music at the end!!!

[@dodgeme1986truck]

I would recommend liquid ballast in all tires on this machine as it will not only increase tractive force but will also increase stability.

[@Waterjoe13]

Genius at work👍

[@vondrak65]

Donn is back.... Christmas will finally be here.

[@tochi3872]

I guessed it right in the last video! Haha! Hope the build goes well! And best of luck with it

[@eduardoresiopescaenargentina]

good!!! construction is back!!!! gogogo

[@aserta]

The axles you've made this time are a stroke of genius. Why bother with custom made flanges when there's already something made. Noice!

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello Donn good job

[@Johannes58934]

I like the ending!

[@heyyoubuddy6749]

Hi buddy man I love your channel!! You build so many awesome machines!! I use my old Jeep cj5 as a forwarder. I’ve re-enforced the frame and put a hitch on the front bumper. I use the Jeep also to pull a log arch I built years ago. I love saw milling and building with my own milled lumber. Thanks for sharing all you do. God bless you and your family!

[@Z-Bart]

Funny ending. Good editing. :)

[@mp4051]

Very cool Donn!

[@BarnStangz]

Sweet project! I can't wait to see more, where is Mr. Chop!? Still working?

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Very nice work

[@johnnymack8442]

Stiff tires are hard to mount. I especially hate low profile tires .

[@09FLTRMM77]

MM77 Approved 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@akikemppinen7078]

Nice end music. :D

[@jacklobley9836]

I'd double check those bearings to see if grease can actually get into them

[@sallad20091]

Yes! Thank you!

[@dakotamax2]

Those welds look really good! Is this the first winter in the new house?

[@GENERALCHAOS13]

Build your own Tire Rimming Station( manual Tire Changer )

[@jameslyons1978]

We like it alot!

[@briankumpan9892]

The tire shops in Texas use liquid soap. It's a lot cheaper than greese and mix it with water, you can get a lot of use out od a small bottle of liquid soap

[@davidspilman531]

I’m in Southern Iowa

[@robertkeime4907]

Great video

[@richardthyne3651]

The Norse Hair & Face, Is it Axe & Sheild Time

[@rolfnilsen6385]

Not using hydraulics due to cost? I feel the pain re. backing into narrow places. I struggle with the same using a mechanically steered 15hp mid-frame steering tractor in front of the timber trailer. It is messy 🙂 I wonder hos long the forwarder will stay a forwarder before it becomes a combination forwarder/harverster.. And some new attachments like a bio-cutter and a flail mower is seen as neccesary.. :D

[@pedroarcr]

Now that there are easy to get 48 and 72V LFP batteries designed for golf carts you should make one of these builds electric. Your Argo could drive like a skid steer if you retrofitted it with one electric motor per side instead of a diff for example.

[@Ejrupolsen]

Get a diesel engine swivel Seat. A heated cabin and a transfer gearbox. 👌👍

[@larstell]

Buy a valve puller from Temu...

[@Junkboy888]

look great.

[@alan-sk7ky]

8:43 Wot? no Artisan Makes hacksaw work out? 🙂

[@jlucasound]

So Push comes to shove. WHAT? NO, Sorry Donn! "Push" becomes "Pull". Forward, Backward, doesn't matter. There will be no Jack Knifing. 😌

[@quarlow1215]

Hi Donn, do you have a link for the seat you bought or the name of manufacturer. I want to build the ultimate shop rolling seat for zipping around under vehicles on the lift. I'm a heavy guy and the cheap ones you buy fail under my weight.

[@jantvrznik8249]

Please RAL color of the discs

[@richardcornelius1050]

They make an actual tool for installing that type of valve stem …. and an actual tire installation stand as well ….. However with your Fabrication Skills like your bead breaker tool you should only need to see a picture of to make your own ….

[@ОлександрВовк-х2е]

Вподобайка.

[@Nauris_L]

Backing up is a pain, I'll just build a different machine. We all have excuses for getting a new tool. :P

[@Gotblade]

We will we will rock you 🎶

[@RameXRacing]

Looks Like Mr.Chop has been retired...

[@job38four10]

Are you up-grading that 6-wheel drive ATV you rebuilt few years ago or am I on the wrong page......... If those tires went on that hard, imagine how they will be coming off, your right let the future owner worry about that. I'm guessing 15-psi in tires, what did I win........

[@Cameron_D]

You need to build your self a rotating welding positioner

[@glenking3337]

Why have you not made yourself a tire mounting machine yet?

[@lapaz-u4q]

pour le montage des pneus toujour engager le pneu coté opposé a la valve

[@Noorikon]

👍👌👏

[@scottdavis9442]

What happened to mr chop

[@valdevieira8258]

👏👏👏👍

[@davosDR]

WARNING those seats are garbage no dampening just spring bought one for my tractor every time you hit a bump it bottoms out and jars the crap out of your back ended up putting a empty plastic bottle under it just to stop ending up a cripple

[@robertshemory3541]

👍😎❤️❤️✌️
