Have had it on last 2 pickups. Get ours sprayed on by linex ourselves as Toyota didn't have it sprayed around the outside of the pickup. Brilliant stuff, no bed liner to rub or crack.

Even with the tup running with them?

What can be done to restrict the incident of bloat?

Is tupping ewes on 80% white clover going to make them infertile or bloat? Took ewes on tack yesterday and one of the fields white clover seems to have taken over, please advise.

There should be no problem welding any pad to the dipper arm as long as it has enough contact area to spread the stresses of the grab. If you're not happy with the size of the plate welded to the dipper, you can always make it a bit bigger. Every machine I've had has had a pad welded to it to...
