Love this set up great design! Showed the hubby only thing different I'm gonna to try and do is the the housing part be able to open from the top too separate instead of opening the whole thing.

Great video, thanks. Would you please list the sheet metal cutter and where I can get one from, it looks like a great piece of kit

This is great!

Nice brother. Thanks for sharing

How many rabbits do you run in your tractor? Thanks so much for sharing.

Just curious, but those tee junctions look like storm water junctions which I believe are 88 degrees instead of 90 degrees. Is that right?

Nice video. Supporting each other here. Keep it up

My only change is on the inside I would have done half inch by 1" because I've used half by half and it becomes a shit covered mess if it gets plugged up

We didn't really find that they made that much mess in that area. But I know what you mean.

What are the dimensions of all the material. I'd like to try and make this tractor. I just recently got rabbits.

Is there were on the bottom as well? If so, what type. I would think that's primarily so they don't dig out.

Why did you cut out the larger squares on the bottom of the cage? For grass to come thru or feces to fall thru?

I understand wood rot is a pain. But I have a feeling though that the PVC pipe will get brittle in the sun and weather and likely fall apart as fast as wood rots.

We went with PVC for several reasons. We wanted the tractor to be light enough for my wife and daughter to move it. PVC also made the project cheaper than wood at the time.

ABS black plastic is UV resistant as well as the gray electrical PVC. White PVC will get brittle after about 20 years of direct sunlight. I am 50 years old so I’m probably going to want something else when I’m 70 anyway. Maybe I build another one and then quit using it when I turn 90.

3ft. wide 8ft. long 2ft tall. Don't forget the screws with a washer to hold the wire. I used sheet metal screws that already had the washer.

We’ve had rabbits crew on a plastic water dish but they didn’t chew on the pvc in this. And this is a grow out pen, so they are all about the fresh grass and food. If you don’t move it around often enough they might chew on it but that was never our experience.

Good video but the music loop has got to go. I would rather hear silence than that nonsense I V I progression; Killing me man. I watch a lot of DIY videos so I am trying to be constructive and give you some feedback to improve your videos. It looks like you got a good thing going on, I will be back.

@@geocline missed my point entirely This thing won't last six months unless you wrap or paint that PVC. It won't last more than a couple years even if you wrap the PVC. I would use top rail or greenhouse channel lock because it will last a lifetime. The greenhouse material is light and not too expensive. It will pay for itself and continue to work long after that PVC is dust.
