Propshaft PTO - 4x4 Off-Road UTV Build Ep.12
In this video I'm fabricating a PTO (power take-off) shaft so I can build a trailer for this UTV that also has drive. By connecting the UTV propshaft to identical differential and identical wheels on the trailer, it too will have the same speed as the UTV. The usual problem while towing a trailer is that the towing vehicle is too light (or the load being hauled is too heavy :D ) and it starts to skid around. By building a dedicated PTO for a driving trailer I don't have to worry about spinning the wheels anymore in the mud because the trailer is also driving / hauling. I'm also looking for ways to connect the driveshafts of BMW and Peugeot together since the wheel hubs are from a Peugeot and these have to be connected to the BMW E39 differential.
This is part of a series of a four wheel drive utility vehicle build to lessen the work load on my trusty 2002 Honda Foreman Rubicon TRX500FA. This partially answers the question "Why?" but for those who want to ask "why don't you just buy a side-by-side instead of building one?" I just want to say - I'm not made of money. Side-by-sides are ridiculously expensive, even the car I drive around daily is worth less (not worthless though!), hell, it is even worth less than my 2002 Honda ATV.
"How much HP will it have?" - the 1.4 litre FWD petrol engine I'm planning on using has 55 kw and this will not change, but the torque will be tripled via the BMW differentials I'm using to transfer power to front and rear axles.
"It will be too heavy!" - this project just like the firewood processor project does not have to float. And a heavier vehicle will handle better anyway when hauling heavy loads.
Stay tuned for future episodes! Thanks for watching!

do you have a plan on this project?
Молодец Донни, очень нравится мне твоё увлечение,очень круто ты все делаешь,мастерская твоя олецитворение мечты многих мужиков с нормальными руками!!! Жду с нетерением продолжения проекта!!!👍👍👍
Большое спасибо!
С огромным удовольствием смотрю на работу талантливого парня!
Тоже самое 🤝👍
🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪👍👍👍
This is a great job, and what I like about your work is your focus on perfecting the details and subtleties, which confirms that you are a professional.
You are going to need more hours in a day to try and find what this beast can't do. You are building the ultimate off-road badass.
Your videos are the best. I was going stir crazy wanting to watch what you have built this week. I built a metal brake this week. I have been needing to build some tool boxes and this was the thing I really needed.
I don't know how I got invested in your builds, but I love it! Keep up the great videos 👍👍!
That's an awesome idea with the PTO for trailer, can't wait to see it run!
Great job Donn, lots of great fabricating in each video !! Thanks for sharing with us, excellent work you’re doing. Thanks for sharing with us.👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great job on thinking of how to get the differential out in the future.
Great to see more progress on this build
Man I've been waiting what feels like for ever for your new video , love your workmanship 👍👍👍
I like the way you work safely, many youtuber doesn't work safe at all.
Muita experiência embarcada!Menos componentes indo para o descarte e sendo brilhantemente reutilizados.👏👏👏
i am not sure how much i am actually learning.. or if the time will ever come to use said knowledge, but never the less, i am really enjoying the build.
I just binged all 12 episodes. Loving this, subscribed!
Great video. Excellent work well made. Thank you for sharing.
This thing is going to be a work horse

The master of cliffhangers! :-D Driven trailer? Great idea! Thx for the vids!
Driven trailers are great, but create bit of a issue specially in heavier equipment, where if you have vehicle it self spilling badly and put power to trailers drive train that holds, there is possibility of it breaking something if that is not over built to handle such forces IE you are putting all of the combined weight and power of the engine into one axle. Also gear ratio needs to be considered when building such construction. Have a rear axle from different ratio than the front and you will break weakest link. In this case i dont think it is big issue since his using car parts on UTV, but its pretty close safety margins with all that weight, specially if trailer is loaded with dirt or such heavy load.
This thing is gonna be so awesome. A powered trailer?!?! It’s looking great!
Thanks to video Donn! I really like your projeckt! 🎅🏻🤘🏻🔧🔩🏁🇫🇮
Thanks for the update Donn, it's an absolute joy to see the things you come up with. You're the best !
I ain't worried about your new axles. I'm fully convinced you can do anything and make it work.
Very interesting to watch you fabricate your 4x4.
Just sleeve the two sections of axles together. You could even drill holes in the hollow tube for some plug welds. That'd be your strongest route.
I’ve never considered driving a trailer via the UTV. I’m excited to see what you come up with. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Looking good! Keep on keeping on!
Great Work Sir 👍😊 Cheers !!!
Coming together nicely! I really enjoyed the video 👍👍😁
.Excellent work👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing
Genious axle fitting!
За один только инструмент - лайк однозначно 👍 , не говоря о золотых руках и светлой голове!!! Подписался.
I have to say the Power Take Off to transfer power to the axle/s on the trailer for this machine is going to be cool, been throwing around the same idea for a trailer to go on my cub cadet that has the trans PTO assembly in it.
The second week I'm waiting for a new video from you.
Otro muy buen video amigo esta vez nos compartes la construccion de un un eje de toma de fuerza (PTO) para un remolque de el UTV, mis respetos y saludos desde Venezuela. Another very good friend video this time you share with us the construction of a power take-off shaft (PTO) for a UTV trailer, my respects and greetings from Venezuela.
Love your work mate!
VERY VERY NICE !! I love how you think things through !! Wonderful design and execution !! I see you making a sleeve to over come the obstacle of the new shafts 🤔 . Look how far you have come it is so exciting to me to able to see this all take shape !! FABULOUS work !! Cant wait for the next video !!🔧👍👍
I will probably swap the shafts and get the hollow ones. Hollow shafts withstand more torque as well.
You can use a sleeve for the solid axles, and it would be cool if you welded the arrow on the sprocket, slower but surely!! It’s really coming to life this thing!! Love the vids!!

Amazing job man!!! Congratulation
Базар тебе нужен, молодец,приятно смотреть когда грамотно к делу относятся
Don love your videos and your builds you are a very smart man with a lot of energy hope you are around on youtube for a long time to come .
Thank you for the good wishes. I hope to be around for a while too. 😀
Great ingenuity !
Thanx!!!! Your vidéos are just amazing
I'm really addicted to your video
Хорошо! Очень хорошо! 👍👍👍💪💪💪
Nice Workshop!
Hey Donn seguiré esperando subas el Ep.13 ...! Suerte men..!
Top demais o seu trabalho 👏👏👏
За станок динозавр тебе миллион лайков. Я ржал. Спасибо за такие видосики!
Your works is nice!
An amazing video! That drive shaft bit at the end looks like a problem though...
Great work dude best of luck
Hello. My friend, you have created a node, which I also have to make in my project. Only smaller. Thank you for the video. Like it.
Man you do a great job. Nice work
Cheers!
Hey Donn,I also do small projects.The work you do is excellent.I would need a milling machine with power feed and a lathe.keep up the good work....
Patiently waiting (not🤔😉) for the next video. Awesome work. Your skills are amazing.
😀
Very good You are very technical man!
Cheers!
Love the build!! Keep them coming 👍🇺🇸
Welcome back ❤️
Is you heard is the ATV?)
spectacular chain assembly

Красавчик!!!👍👍👍
Pure genius!
Hi mister beautiful job rely good well done
Fine work as usual, should work to perfection.
I,m subscribed and watch all of your vids. back in the day, my aircraft instructor taught us, never put bolts in head down, or in the case of a vehicle , head backward. If the nut vibrates loose in a head down position, ( or head backward), the bolt falls off (or out). That generally results in system failure. Sometimes catastrophicaly.
Looking great
Awesome! I am not the only one who has tools for friends 😅
Yep. And the angle grinder is probably my best tool friend. 😝
Well done bro
Wondering what is the best tool to make a radius of a round part smaller Looks at the lathe: "Ah, the angle grinder!"
I thought the same, if you want it any rougher you’ll have to get someone else
Nice project
For a hollow inside another pipe joint a series of plug welds is also unbelievably strong and easy method.
Your going to need a bearing outside the sprocket on the front of the diff. The torque of the chain will destroy the bearing in the diff otherwise. What do you think.
Молодець, золоті руки. Так тримати.
Удачи!💪
Your hands is'n the Dzjubas!))))
Good Job 👍👍👍👍
It is sure that, even on a classic 4x4, the transmission is a very complicated part (and I find it hard to believe that you succeeded in assembling Peugeot parts with BMW parts) good job !
I ain't a very good critic, I love all the work that you do/LOL. I figure this will be a dandy..... lets hope it swims good as I know everything has to go to the beaver dam to be checked out
😆
Лайк. Удачи тебе.
hi great work as usual but on the other hand why have you coupled the PTO on the transmission to the wheels the interest of the PTO is also to be able to use it when stopped?
Amazing work on the axles. Did you figure out the drive yet?
Great video
I love it your build project. What diff did you use and did you flipped them up side down? Thank you...
Отлично 👍
Смотрится на одном дыхании
Excelente job
Удачи тебе 👍
Constant source of inspiration 🤟
Интересный проект 😎
This is art!...
Nice work ! I have the same stuf in my head but i dont have the same garage like you :))
I have the carage but no money or time
Good video ❤
Seems to be no shortage of materials and equipment at all, makes fabricating a lot more fun.
С Байкала !!! Привет ) Молодец Уважаю!!!!
Donn, get yourself a set of parallels for the mill, keeps you workpiece off the bottom of the vice and ‘flat’. Makes setup a lot easier
Wow! Uus projekt!!!! 👌🤗
Would the shafts still be strong enough if you just fitted a sleeve over the joint and welded the sleeve to the two solid shafts? You could even weld the shafts together with a butt weld first, then grind the weld smooth and slide the sleeve over it and weld it too (assuming you remember to put the sleeve on before welding) I'm sure you have probably already figured it out by now though. Love this series, thanks again :)
That was what I was thinking as well; sleeve the shafts and plug weld through the sleeve.
Yes that works, i did that once, no problems with 120 HP.
I like your chainsaw a monster character ready to eat something😁🤣😂👍like mate
SUPER GOOOOOOD MISTER.
Luar Biasa Bang...
