Chicken Coop wheel kit build

[@renaissancemarinetv3536]

the minute you said "i like to use old metal and stuff" i knew i found a kindred spirit and subscribed.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you very much, i really like reusing things when i can.

[@emmanuel4333]

I don't know why anyone else hasn't thought about that balance point. It's so obvious now! Thank you sir. I'll redesign my wheel kit!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment glad to help.

[@maddog45auto66]

Awesome job thanks for sharing your video

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrsCandaceHaleWeir]

Finding the weight balance point is a smart idea. Thank you.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you for the comment Candace.

[@jesussavesletyourgooddeeds3623]

Finally a farm tough wheel kit . Nice job

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you

[@Hatch61]

Looks great Kevin, thanks for having us over to watch the progress. Be well my friend.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

You bet thank you Hatch.

[@KrazyKajun602]

Don't sell your self short, excellent video and awesome quality of work. My only change would be using 1/4 or 1/2" hardware cloth instead of chicken wire.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks so much, I appreciate that, and yeah I have used hardware cloth on others and the wire does get bent and torn after awhile.

[@Vulture-88]

Thank you!!! I'm building 2-3 of them and will place them side by side. I'm also putting a gabled top for over the open area to put a roof on when it's raining too heavy or for snow. I'm raising mine up another 6" just bc I'm tall. I'll build a plateau midway on my stairs due to height. And.... I'll be using white corrugated plastic roofing instead of metal. I love love love this design!!!!! You are creative. Thanks a million!!!!!!!!!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you i appreciate it and thanks for watching.

[@sharonstotts8902]

I’m impressed!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks Sharon

[@wookieecantina]

Some guys drink. Some guys go to strip bars. Some guys design wheels for chicken tractors. Yep, I prefer your lifestyle, no question about it! Great work!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you so much for the comment.

[@wanderlustbykate3158]

This is amazing! You should sell these, and I would be your first customer!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you , if i only had more time that would be a good idea.

[@abordercollie1]

We have a portable squeeze chute (for cattle) that operates like this only it has a removable hitch and big tires for road use . You did great !! A++

Thank you.

[@troy3238]

You guys are doing such a great job that I wish you’d come to Colorado and help me build mine! I’m sure your chickens will love it

[@Robinson-Homestead]

One day when we get done with the Mini Barndominium build we would like to go help other people you may get lucky one day lol.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Thats a awesome idea, Love the coop! Thank!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Glad you like it!

[@seanlupardus2907]

nice design, Sir!

[@TheOriginalNaugaHyde]

Love your ingenuity. Maybe a trailer hitch to help move with a tractor? Thanks for the series.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

That would work great, thanks for the tips.

[@roberthayden7107]

GREAT information and THANKS for the awesome instructions.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Glad it was helpful! thanks for the comment.

[@ronsites2694]

You put wheels on it, local government will probably want to to get title and tag. 🙂. Welding without gloves, tough hands! Good design and build, thanks for the video.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Lol

[@anneparisi5677]

That's pretty cool chicken coop - nice job Kevin.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you Anne.

[@goldhunter9641]

One Of My Uncles Has Been Building Portable Hunting Blinds, That Can Be Towed Behind Just About Any Types And Sizes Of All Terrain Vehicles And There Also Nearly Impossible To Turn Over When Pulling Them To Different Hunting Locations. I Do Like This Idea With The Chicken Coop As Well, 💪💪👍 It Looks Great Kevin

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment Sam.

Thank you William.

[@sheilabowers7532]

Looks good old buddy you did a great job on that keep up the good work enjoyed the video your friend G-man

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks G-Man.

[@HisWayHomestead]

very cool... a gate latch would be good to use instead of the bolt to hold the wheels in the down position.

[@swhm77]

Nice job, you gave me some good ideas for my coop

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Glad i could help

[@TheWoodHaven]

That wheel design is killer. You're making me look bad and I haven't even started my coop yet.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

You will get Daryl thank you.

[@jaypeck3905]

Very informative

[@explorer867]

This build is awesome Kevin.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you Explorer.

[@WAY_13]

Awesome design!!!!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you Wesley.

[@shadricosuave]

Very nice

[@frankcarrerejr]

You had me scratching my head the whole video, l could not figure out what you were doing. Great job. The chickens will be living in a mobile home. LOL

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I think I was scratching head to Frank but it works thank you.

[@280zone]

Very creative design Kevin. Only one concern, when the wheels are deployed all of the weight is on that 2" section of a horizontal 2X4. I think I would add a couple of feet of angle iron to saddle that 2X4 to the uprights to the right and left .

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Good idea 280zone.

[@AztecWarrior69_69]

Not necessary.

[@ingeniousmechanic]

Egg-cellent build!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment and watching.

[@gerardbauer4035]

Fantastic job. Those peeps are going to love their new home :) I noticed the light was gone on the plastic tub. Do the peeps no longer need the heat? I imagine they are getting pretty big by now. Looking forward to seeing the peeps outside in the coop. I so enjoy watching you work. Thanks for sharing. Be well my friend!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I move them to the barn they are getting big for sure.

[@davidfarm8095]

thank you

[@Robinson-Homestead]

You're welcome thanks for the comment.

[@JamessharpII-tx9lz]

Hey man I love how this is, but like you said before if you choose to use your four wheeler r mower to move it, utting a tongue on it would be smart and you could deck the tongue to look like a type of “porch” but have a metal bracket on. It to put a pin through for the mower or four wheeler. Just food for thought if you haven’t already, but it looks great man, I love it.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Good ideas James thanks for watching.

[@thebeardedone1225]

I did the same thing, but I put my wheel on the back hole, and my pivot bolt on the front. You push down on your, and I pick up on mine. Either way will work.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment The Bearded One.

[@AztecWarrior69_69]

14:37 How many times have you scraped your hand, foot,boot on the corner of the angle iron ? be honest.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Never once that i remember thanks for watching.

@@Robinson-Homestead I SAID be honest. LOL

[@Julio_Martinez75]

@@Robinson-Homestead I bet yours hands are all shredded by now. LOL

[@hal7ter]

Good video - good clear directions, but, WHERE did you get the wheels. I have been looking everywhere.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Look in harbor Freight.

[@hal7ter]

@@Robinson-Homestead Thank you!

[@davidburgess741]

I decided to pay nothing for my wheel kit. Harbor Freight instant garage tubing. Every nut and scew found on premesis. A frame chicken tractor, overbuilt. The last section of 3x4 L stock found near Atco Dragway, yes, big daddy Don Garlitz fame. 5' section untouched, tubing is main center axle. Sliding fit smaller section cut to width of tractor (2 sections. Garden cart 14inches wheels forced onto "half shaft" ends and through bolts installed in OEM holes to prevent slipping off. 1/8" rope threaded through center of axle through bolt to through bolts to keep everything from sliding apart and allow independent wheel movement. Looks like a light weight barbell when done. 1/4x3x4 brackets 2" wide screwed to base after forced into a 7 shape one at each corner at gable end. Lift the 250lb coop from the gable end handle and push the axle under the "7" brackets and set it down. P handle baggage dolly hooked under the other gable base. Now you're mov'in for O!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

David good info thanks for watching

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you Barbara.

[@larryschwebel1488]

How much weight can this thing pick up

[@Robinson-Homestead]

600 lbs

[@DavidMasters-dd9tw]

Is That what You Call the Camper NOW?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Could be lol.

[@geemanfunman1267]

Place the wheels 🛞 in the inside of the coop frame. Not the outside and you'll be good to go

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the idea.

[@coziii.1829]

You know you can buy something similar with a foot lock and release

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the information and watching.

[@coziii.1829]

@@Robinson-Homestead lol wasn’t trying to sound mean I know everyone watching like me is trying to figure something out. And everyone does and do take bits of info from others to piece theirs together . Just bought land retired early Thinking about chickens and goats

[@srfergrl1]

Most regular people would not have access to all of these tools

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment.

[@srfergrl1]

Better off purchasing a co-op with wheels already attached. The wheels alone could cost at least $100 not counting all.of the other materials... Crazy

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for watching.

@@Robinson-Homestead Yes Sir, thank you for the great video and for your humility.

[@bryanhighley4942]

This is awesome but most people don’t have access to scrap metal and a welder lol

[@Robinson-Homestead]

That's right but maybe you can find a friend that does that can help you.

[@davemacgyver573]

I dont think putting a plate on the inside will fix the problem, the 2x4 on the bottom will just flex and twist. Especially after it becomes weathered from sitting in the sun and rain for 6 months.
