4x4 PTO Driven Timber Trailer BUILD Ep.11 - FIRST TEST and Steel Frame is DONE! Almost...

Finishing the tube frame of the timber trailer by fabricating log post carriers and gussets to give the log posts some more strength. Cutting some sidewall gussets on the homemade CNC plasma table for the tow bar assembly to box it in and make it more rigid. Welding all the gussets on the log posts. Modifying the axle sled. Having a test run on the hydraulic crane and hydraulic power pack and punching holes in the OSB ceiling with the crane (off the air). It seems that this trailer will be finished soon and in action hopefully. And "NUUT" means "splines". Forgot to add that in the video. Oops. More will follow. Stay tuned! And check my channel for my other videos! Cheers!
