This is pure genius! We're building a John Suscovich tractor and I used your idea to mount the wheels about 2/3 from the front. I'm 64yrs and I can pull it around with one hand now. It was so simple and easy to add on. Thanks so much for sharing.

I have to agree. Not only is this the best wheel system to move a chicken tractor, it's also easy to install. Thank you for the idea!

Perhaps the best I've seen yet. You have my vote for simplicity and cost effectiveness. 😁

I like your idea. I am not elderly, elderly, (62), but I am disabled. I only have one leg, so picking up heavy things and keeping my balance is a little tough at times. I will definitely use your system when I put together a chicken tractor for myself. I am wanting to keep 4 to 8 hens for eggs, so the idea of a nesting box on the end would be fantastic.

It looks good and functional but since you were keying in on the elderly I have a suggestion. Make the "front wheels" to pivot or swivel so that it can be steered without having to drag it sideways. Probably easier said than done with those kind of wheels but it would a good feature for people who are slowing down.

Please share your steering idea when you can. I move mine sideways now because it doesn’t roll. Made it out of hog panels and very tight wire. It’s been working and the fox is ever present.

I like the design but I definitely don't like those harbor freight wheels. I built 7 moveable above ground garden beds with them but those wheels do not last more than a year at a time. At least in my climate in Northern California. I started switching out the wheels this year finally but I just had to get through my stash of harbor freight wheels. The first year I used those wheels I was disappointed that they got so weathered. That year which was 5 years ago, I would buy $100 worth of backup wheels since I was changing them every year. I'm slowly moving all the wheels to solid wheels but they are quite a bit more expensive. I appreciate you putting this video together and the design. Keep up the great content.

Hey, I'm implementing this wheel system for a Chicken Tractor. Thank you for putting it together. Quick question for you. Is there a way to integrate a steering mechanism? My Chicken Tractor is 4x16. I need to drag it around the yard and it would be great to see one end or the other actually turn to make it easier to avoid yard obstacles? Maby a front end of an old lawnmower? I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

Move two of the lift mechanisms to the front panel and put a caster on each of them and it should turn much easier.
@dirtwork86962 жыл бұрын
Put one wheel perpendicular to the others on the front of the box . Push or pull the nose to the side with that wheel engaged (set up as a 3 wheeler for this maneuver with the sideways wheel fixed for adjusting nose angle. Worth a try? I’m trying this on mine this week. I’m in flat ground though.
@kevinbaker61682 жыл бұрын
I was thinking of an old two wheeled dolly. Remove or adapt the lifting plate, drill an oversized hole into it and put a gate hinge pin on the chicken tractor. Then all you have to do is hook the plate onto the pin and let the wheels on the dolly lever it up.

You wouldn’t be able to make it turn with the tires fixed in place. You would need an axle and a carriage pivot bolt in the middle. Someone else has a video of homemade radio flyer. Their idea is a little much, but cool idea.
