How to Build a Bridge for a Tractor: The Southern Iowa Luddite Homestead 45 ft Bridge Build

Before this project I couldn't find a good video for how to affordably build a safe bridge crossing over a 45 ft wide creek.

All I can say is thank you for sharing this 💕💕💕

Cool idea with the semi-trailer. Parting out and scrapping parts of a semi box trailer might help reduce the cost. Scrap the walls, sell the doors and suspension. A common semi box trailer can support a min 18,000 pounds.

Great job making this happen. You’re a good neighbor asking for permission ahead of time instead of asking for forgiveness later. Appreciate the safety tips along the way. A broken line will slice thru anything in its path. How did you work out buying the old National Guard flatbed? That was a smart use of materials.

[@DavidSmith-lp5tz]

This exactly they typed of bridge I need over my creek. I’ve looked for the semi trailers or even an old school bus but haven’t found one for a reasonable price. I’m saving this video to go back and study once I find all my materials. Good work. Good video.

A neighbor of mine used telephone poles. They’re about 60 feet long or more. If I remember right he had 4 of them and just used 2x12 across the top. I’m not sure how long it would last? If you raised it up on a cement pile or use the excess from the poles on each side to level and keep off the ground for moisture. I don’t know how safe or strong it would be? I’m almost positive he would run his old farm tractor across it but it was many years ago.

[@S4InteriorsArchitects]

Heeeey this was awesome and what I needed thank you for sharing ❤

Bridge building 101. Measure for foundation abutments. There are some cheep abutment concepts. You could bury 2 trees but couldn’t bury T iron or a mold for concrete. Cheep abutments eventually wash.

[@agungcapitalstyle1240]

Nice video!!

[@whineysnowflake8072]

i did the same thing but placed rip rap on both sides of the creek so it wont wash the banks out below.

[@grettahicks4118]

Very nice😋🙏

[@chrisnilles6019]

splendid😍

Hart work paid at the END

[@jcberst]

Awesome job! How did you find the trailer?

[@Clarke1962gmc]

Great video! I’m surprised you were able to move that bridge around with one skid steer at each end if that bridge weighs 16K pounds.

[@rodgerhart5094]

You are a Celebrity👏

Applause!!!!

[@edwardcarberry1095]

Should have tied a bowline onto that tack welded piece .Or to have shackled them ?

[@alexsaunders6722]

Where did you find the semi flatbed?

[@imaspacewoman]

Where could you buy such an item at auction, where would you look online for the type oF AUCTION to buy this? We have a similar situation poperty divided by a deep ditch that also floods buy not that wide. We need to build a bridge across that ditch as cheep as posible.

[@Kghhfsd0022]

Old whispering Joe! The project was interesting and would have been even more enjoyable if not havingvto strain to hear you. If you ever make another video...please speak up!

[@TopDoggdreamy]

Its a coo video I think it needs improvements cuz Ive seen this be done better with my moms advice

[@leahprice1161]

HOT💛Wow

[@ithamizhkural9539]

uhh alright suuuureee...

[@361-ege6]

I will do these tips but definitely could have worked on the video better

[@sahil71729]

Why do I always get fooled by the thumbnail 🤨

[@Miguel-vh3rm]

What are the instructions?

[@southerniowaluddite]

They vary project by project. Let me know the width of the creek you are trying to cross.

[@SWAMPHUNTER644]

YOU MADE A CRUCIAL ERROR IN SETTING THE BLACK LOCUST POST. BLACK LOCUST IS VERY ROT RESITANT IF, AND ONLY IF, YOU REMOVE THE BARK FIRST. SCALING THE BARK WITH A CHAIN SAW IS PROBABLY THE FASTEST WAY TO REMOVE THE BARK. WITH BARK ON IT WILL ROT IN A FEW YEARS. ONE OF THE THINGS I REMEMBER FROM MY WOOD PRODUCTS ENGINEERING COURSE AT FORESTRY COLLEGE.

[@berkayreyiztr7191]

You kind of didnt make things clear.. im confused over here
