Would it not be worth drilling 2-3 hopes along the length of those troughs to let water escape or will they just get tipped over anyway

They are made out of perforated pipe so most of the water should escape, it does make them a bit weaker though!

Here we are.

Plastic storage keeps everything clean and water goes through bag.
Grain pusher
Vice on a stand is quite handy and movable
Tool board on wheels with magnetic strips
What should I do with all my old spud webs? was going to make electric fence posts but not sure its worth it.

Like the idea of the grain pusher with the clear purspex as a blade ideal when traveling on the road ......

Another one. Quick hitch for sweepex using cut off brackets that are not strong enough for other uses (£15 from fabricator) then bolted to sweepex.

@treblesykes has a sweepex brush with a piece of angle bolted below it to use as a scraper for any stubborn bits of muck when sweeping. Like

i have been promising to make one for weeks
i got out some 3x2 and some batten and then had flashbacks of wooden framed runs turning into parralellograms at the slightest movement and thought there must be another way
then bingo i had the brainwave of this ,quite pleased with it
