has anybody ever seen this kind of
trailer set up
this thing swings back and forth and
it's got to wrap around your ball
and then this pulls back and locks this
into place
it's absolutely absurd to hook up some
painting
but the good thing about it you don't
have to jack it up as high
so your jack don't need to go up as high
and it's usually on cattle trailer
but uh i gotta figure out how to get
this thing on there
i ain't seen it but a couple times
weird but i gotta try to get it hooked
up here
let's see what i can do with it we gotta
get ready to go to the sail
we got a hole in the floor in here we
gotta address
and uh we gotta get this cleaned out
somewhat
get the door shut back here make sure
all the tires are pumped up that one's
flat
yeah that one's flat we're gonna get it
pumped up
make sure these over here pumped up
so we got some we got some stuff we got
to attend to here
these uh these cattle trailers are very
neat with that kind of stuff you know
this slide just grab
nobody's been around cattle trailers
[Music]
it's got little teeth on basically a
little piece of angle iron
and reach out and grab these little
loops and it's got a double
it's got a double gate see i closed the
full gate then you can open this one
and this slide gate will open so it
makes it
a little easier than this one
it's got another gate up here that's
good
get that caught up in the lawnmower
my dumb ass throws it over there where
i'll run over it again but anyway
this one is the same thing it's got
little tabs welded here and it'll swing
out and touch
so it makes it nice but we're going to
try to get this trailer hitch
[Music]
back
huh y'all can see there right back up
don't fall off
tell me when to stop
we have a problem
the jack
let's go back this every everyone
you lock that in and then put a safety
fold in here
tighten that up
and then you locked in place you put
your safety chain down
so you lock it
like so and this slides this color
so you lock it in that locks it and then
you put a safety bolt
that hole and then you lock the jack up
it's always going to jack in
the tank just roll it up
so let's pull it up here to the house
put some air in the tire see what we can
get into
okay here we'll show you how we open it
basically you gotta push in on this
handle this handle comes out
you see that tab comes out and that tab
come down
[Music]
today so check this floor
make sure it ain't rotten
up here it's pretty it's pretty soft up
there
need a piece of plywood set over that
whole front
for now back here it's fine
where that hay sit on
back
can't go grass in the yard but not damn
children growing in the trailer
you know this is fine just
this is fun too really
this is one little spot you see what it
is that whole side
there's nothing underneath it supporting
it that's why it broke off
so it's all flex in there basically
this needs a sheet of plywood in the
nose
it needs to be cut to that concave that
that radius
[Music]
how the hell am i gonna put that radius
so
well see there's another trick here
this floor back here is fine and in a
cattle trailer
you got what they call a cut gate
basically it's a divider to divide your
trailer in half
so i can put one back here no problem
or even two back here after the cast
it won't be a big deal
we need something for that
if it was square it'd be no problem just
stop by loads on the way and pick up a
board and
put three or four screws in it you'd be
fine but
since it's that radius you gotta cut it
and i don't have my circular saw here my
battery operated circle or something
so i can't
can't fix it i mean i can fix it but i
can't fix it
and if the cat if it's you know two
pound calf it won't have a problem even
if i just bridge over that
they won't fall through and usually
they're going to be back here against
this anyway
they don't like way up at the front
so what we're going to do we're going to
find out some boards
some uh one box
and we're going to bridge across it this
way one two three four five six
or whatever we need to do to get out to
say here
see there's a brace right there that's
why it didn't break no more there's a
brace there there's a brace here
and there's a brace there that edge is
supposed to have a brace on
it don't you can see it rotted there and
fell off
[Music]
that brace there
that's so that's why that piece broke
so we'll get some little board and put
in there
and brace it off the other way we'll get
back to you here in a few
so there it is got that fixed
get this got that we should be good to
go
i bought this trailer and his hand just
broke off
and nobody because that hinge was broke
so when you go to shut it
put that back
if
so that one's good
old trailer's pretty good old trailer
just old
old and ragged
but that's why you make money you save
money by not buying new [ __ ]
so i got me an odin i paid
i think i paid 300 for this trailer
it's uh that's 12 footer
12 foot 14 foot something like that
with cut gate i did have to put tires on
i wish i was doing youtube then y'all
would have thought i was crazy i pulled
this thing out of the guy's yard
four flat trays four flat tires like
flat flat
all the way flat like nowhere
in fact it matter is i believe two of
them didn't even have tires on
i hooked up and drove off and the guy
standing there
in his yard with his jaw
on the ground down there in jefferson
i drove off and uh my buddy drives up
the old man that was giving me a ride on
the tractor he drives up and says what
in the hell are you doing
so i think i had a flat tire he said one
looks like all four of them flat i said
damn i just noticed that
as well i guess i need damn change of
tire
he said well i'm sure you ain't got four
spares and i said i'm sure i don't
either
he said well hell always drive over to
the
the tire store i said okay the hell i
drugged that damn thing about five or
six miles to the tire store
with only two two tires
on the trailer but both of the tires
that was on the trailer was flat
i drove up in the tire store and the guy
done thought he had
hit pay dirt he told me 250 dollars for
four tires
i told him go ahead and put him on there
let me get the hell out of here
so he put me four tires on so
i got 500 bucks in the trailer 600 bucks
in the trailer
i'm going to put a new floor in it here
shortly but
it was half full of aluminum pop cans
when i bought it right about to there
they was using his can trailer
and uh they took the cans
but i took the trailer
a good little trailer i've hauled all of
overhauled it with goats i believe i
don't think i've ever had a cow in it
no i did take a cow that butchered cow i
took it down to the slaughterhouse
but a pretty good cow
but the boys broke that up here in the
front
um i think
i don't think i've had anything heavy
enough to break it
somebody stepped through it i'm sure
but anyway all right
