Don't know if this qualifies as a quick bodge , but needed to get water out to weaned lambs , it does include a old landrover water hose to connect drum to trough

Have you got anything letting air into the drum as it empties?
Edit: Nice job by the way

In theory this should qualify as a bodge, the stainless steel came from my brother who cut up an old industrial fridge in a pub clearance and the handle is a piece of hazel cut from the hedge, the stainless bolts were robbed from my box of useful sprayer bits. I suspect however the bodge Taliban will be jumping up and down ! The pizza was homemade as well

Digger bucket needed pins for quick hitch to be, well, quick.
Went and visited Uncle Hydraulic Ram Mender and liberated some 45mm ram rods.
Then welded a washer on one end and put a new-ish 10mm bolt through other end.
Can admit to nylock nut being new. Sorry.

Mark 2 upgraded door mechanism on the crush door after watching vet struggle with Mark 1 on jab day.
Mark one used the doors original catch.
Mark 2 is a new catch.
In the interest of clarity..... I will make the declaration that the bungy cord, zip ties and jaf patches are new. hell you only live once

Hopefully no ones stood between the crush and that bar if a bullock hits your door hardMark 2 upgraded door mechanism on the crush door after watching vet struggle with Mark 1 on jab day.

No one should be, the vet can operate it from the place he stands to jab the cattle.
The original catch on the door is much more dangerous as you basically have to stand in front the door to open it
