Combi clamp DIY

[Stuart J]

Still need two people to work them? One feeding up and one clamping?

One thing I will say about mine is taking the wheels off and in it’s a total ball ache - this really should be revised , dose my back every time

Yep it would be so much easier if it had a hinge/swivel system!

I dread having to move and set mine up!

Mounted ours on a frame with 'over centre wheels' that you lower to the ground with a ratchet......

That’s the hammer Personally I don’t like mine enough to warrant anything more on it and it only goes mobile post lambing arse trimming.

only had it a couple of weeks,have found they draw through it well,easier if someone keeps the back pen/race full,i didn't think we would use it enough to justify the cost but now iv'e used it i should have bought one years ago,all our sheep our away at various places i would think if you had them all at home they would soon get used to running through it

Good to see you've learnt from the master, with IAE stickers on show in every photo. I hope they gave you a good discount.

Looks tidy. I've given up using mine in the fields, and just use it as a static set up in the buildings.

Bu66er! I've missed a trick there. Do you think I can get a telly programme out of it
Those photos are a good few years old now, most of the IAE stickers have dropped off

it only goes mobile post lambing arse trimming.

To be fair, ours spends most of it's time in the yard but it's very handy to be able to move it about if needed.

No brakes. What weight is the setup normally when all together? I’d say it could be pushing the 750kg limit?

No idea not recommending it

It looks like it'd make the quad bark, mines bad enough!
