Gotta love the sound of them old Detroit's.
Well done, We think alike sir. I watched quite a few videos on making trails through the woods and wondered why nobody or not many used a drag whether it's like what you made/used or some type of heavy farm equipment towed behind an atv or truck.
Great idea for a drag. I replaced the track chains on my Case 350 crawler loader a couple of years ago, but sold the old ones as scrap...regretting it now.
Yeah, those slanted bars ahead of the windshield are called sweeps because they're designed to "sweep" laps and trees up and over the operator cab. Had an uncle killed years ago on a dozer that didn't have them. Good work!
3:54 if you want to see the thing in action and not them talking forever......your welcome
Ahh yes, you can always tell the sound of a Detroit!
Man that's really cool
I like your ingenuity
Louie, that's some beautiful land you have there. Keep up the good work.
Nice to see a property update! i was thinking about it today!!
Replace your chain on the front pad higher causing the track to dig into the ground a little more as it is dragged. You will get it to drag more dirt and fill the low spots better.
I love the sound of a Detroit two stroke
not a bad idea defiantly does need some adjustments to be perfect tho!! cool video...
Hard working boys with great ideas..works well too
That is the coolest idea
looks like fun making trails
Well done. I love junkyard engineering.
That is a great idea...plus if you got a wench you could keep it hooked to one side of the beam so when you get hung up between trees you can just engage the winch and pull the beam to one side...
That track was wore out because of the sideways pin slack. A new track could be layed on its side like that and picked up from the center and the track would sag almost none. It may also be on its last pin turn where both sides of the pins have been worn. That being said that's a really good idea using that track like that, now I'm gonna have to make one up. Thanks for the idea.
Nice looking land.
that sound!!! love it
Good job keep up the good work.
The blue dudes from Avatar are mad at this guy.
Nice pool
Try pulling off center make the I beam angle some one will lead then go thru the trees -- Good idea for Grubbing roots .
He's a lot nicer than he looks. He looks seasoned as fuck lol.
Remount the beam to ride on the ground, then weld 2 long trailing leaf springs pivoted on the beam as skids and use jacks to adjust beam height from the ground.
I have a few of those drags.. .just the rails though.. I never had one with the pads still on them though. I also have one with a big well caseing cut in half.
I’ve made them out of telephone poles but this is better.
If you cut the beam in half and hinge pin it in the middle with a slight V to the front just like the track it would straighten while dragging but collapse when it hits two trees. I would link a chain from the tip of the beam V to the tip of the track to keep its V in shape
use a fence instead like a little square thats what everyone up here where i live uses to build hunting trails, it will work better and make it smoother
Alpha smurf a fence won't be heavy enough for what he's doing. Plus as heavy as this is it levels it well
Do you have a video on how you made the front suspension on your Monster Elan would love to know restoring my old Elan
My 1st rule with equipment is get a welder outfit , because you will need it.
Hey! A suggestion - instead of hooking up to the track dead center, have a couple points to the left and right of center. If you hook up to the track half a dozen or so pads from center, then it would cause your beam to be angled and be narrower footprint for tight areas. I wouldn't cut the beam. With the beam angled, it may have a tendency to move the rocks to the side for you. You may even be able to rig up the center point of the track fixed, and do a fixed point low with a pulley to use the winch in and out to set for straight pull, and then angle the beam with winding in the winch, then leave winch slack out and the beam will go straight again and wide. A little bit of work, but a lot less work over time to unhook, winch it out of the jamb, then rehook again. I hope I stated this clear enough. I can see it in my head and it would work good for you!! I own a mobile saw mill I pull with a 3/4 ton truck, setup for a 50 to 60 inch circular blade, with a 225 HP V-8 engine. About 1 hour setup time and I will be ready to load up logs to 36 inch caliber and 12 foot long with a little extra work or 30 inch caliber and smaller 12 foot long comfortable (relatively speaking). Setup for hardwood. Conifers use a different feed rate and a different curf on the blade, but I can do it, but it isn't too efficient. I can do a 20 inch clean cut face. Makes nice mantle cuts, or for a large one piece tabletop. Did I mention I designed and fabricated the mill?? 40 foot long, 8 foot wide to transit, and it telescopes and unfolds to setup to be 60 foot long and 24 foot wide for operation. Good luck!!
ya i like that idea.
Good luck!
put the I beam on its side so it's a flat pushing edge
should make the pull chain longer so it has more downforce as you pull, thats what i did with a system i rigged up as well, good job mate..
gotta love Detroit power. just an idea but why not strap a cpl logs on I beam for weight to hold it down
Your doing a great job up there! What ever happened to the jet truck?
works good
try dragging that iron the other way around where the cat tracks are dragging instead of the I beam.
ya that's next - the beam behind knocks the rocks off - the other way builds the hump.
Nice......!! Pull the drag off center.......one side of the beam will go thru first....
Yep!
Why not just go around the oaks?
hook the chain in the track so the beam is on an angle
Could you just have cut the iron beam into segments and chained it together? This might help eliminate the gap and allow you to adjust the length of the beam on the fly.
Hi, what kind of chainsaw helmet is that you're wearing?
Doesn't it make trails just muddy and soft?
what brand is your hard hat?
drag some old skidder tires behind the track
A drag that is angled some what or staggered beams cleans better
Why do you need to grade a snig tack?
Just buy or rent a box scrapper. That's all you need. No need trying to reinvent the wheel.
Sounds like this was pretty cheap, and does what he needs.
Possibly, though it looked like he had to make many passes to get it somewhat level. I used my box scrapper to make similar trails through the woods in my farm, and after clearing with a dozer, I ran my box scrapper just two passes and the trails were perfect.
A box scrapper would be a good investment for PM since he's got all those new roads to maintain.
muito emocionante
What toronto thing did you say ur going to?
Vthat blade is for stumps. Not plowing.
why don't you put a crossbar where that tree came through and got the muffler? make it bolt on and be easier to remove if needed.
I meant in the summer
you are not the first one to do this, here in quebec they do that too
you are my idol
Sounds like his clutch is gone,when he hangs up that fuckin restarted drag between the trees,he guns it an no tire spin!!
no clutch.
The only problem is, where you build roads, people go...
i would run the2 tracks think it needs to be heavier and I beam on it's side
Can you get a Yamaha blaster please and mod it for cheap
ahahahah ! that.....idea !
Caterpillar D-11
All worn oat....
Those pads aren't worn out LMAO
Guy builds a drag, can't believe the thumb downs! WTF. Likely the useless DPs don't know what the machine is for other than knowing it's big & scary... lol 😂
11th comment & 101st Liker!!
This guy has got to be a model or something, what's his instagram?
looks like you need some new equipment matey
lol
is this a Detroit diesel
you bet!
i like the sound these guys make!!!!!
Jacob Abbott
Sounds like a 6V-53, the 53 series have their own sound due to the small bore.
NZ Salt Flats Racer 353 but us sounds the same...sounds awesome!

Sawyer Schmidt there meant to ride in the winter duh not in the summer
What the hell are you talking about?
Northern farmer the guy says stop riding snowmobiles in the winter you will wreak them so I said there meant to to ride in the winter
farm kid Not you.... Im talking about the other dude
Northern farmer oh sorry bud love ur vids btw look at my channel I got a few vids
Clarks is crap they are to top heavy u need to get a timberjack ull be surprised
Seriously...how about learn to use the blade!! There’s a big difference between driving and operating a machine.
Crap
