4x4 PTO Driven Timber Trailer BUILD Ep.10 - Log Barrier & Posts

4x4 PTO driven timber trailer build continues. Attaching the hydraulic side stablizer to see where the edge of the trailer's log fence / front barrier will be when the stabilizer is in the upper position since it has to mimic the shape of the stabilizers. Drawing up a basic sketch in FreeCAD to get all the measurements of the tubes required for this frame. Welding all the parts on my homemade welding table. A bigger welding table is definitely needed. Completing the log fence with scrap 21mm outside diameter scrap steel tubes that have been laying in the workshop under the lathe for a couple of years now. Cutting the log fence base plate on my homemade CNC plasma table. This table my buddy at Blackloop CNC helped me build has been a great asset. Getting a CNC plasma these days is super affordable and shortens the fabrication time tremendously. I'm quite happy with it. In the last quarter of the video I'm drawing up and fabricating log posts / log stops from S355 50x50x3mm square tube so the timber I'm going to haul will not roll off the trailer. To strengthen these log posts different types of gussets are needed to take the stresses off of the inner and outer corner welds. Also proper mounts to trailer frame are needed. But all of that in the next video. To be continued. Stay tuned!

Trailer specs:
* 28x11-14" tires & 14" rims
* 1450mm/57" wide; length and height - unknown
* tandem axles with homemade chain housings
* BMW E39 530D differential with 2.81 gearing (identical to the UTV diffs)
* hydraulic crane with a boom & grapple for easier log loading & handling
* independent hydraulic power pack
* radio controlled hydraulic winch on the boom
* load capacity - 1-1,5 metric tonne

Stay tuned for the next episode & thanks for watching!
