Tidy. How do you get on with it behind the gator? My mate had a demo of the Polaris when I was up helping him scanning a couple years ago - we both had a go with it on his snacker and neither of us felt you could see what the snacker was doing. I guess it's ok if it doesn't bridge, just keep going

He bought a Swale snacker a month back with the big wheels on it. It's a really smart thing

I haven't had any problem do far wi it, the nudge bars help keep the sheep away from the wheels.
Its electric drop wi the control box in the cab, the only problem i had was when the dog hit the switch and I hadn't noticed by the time I'd got to the field the full hopper was bloody empty.
Ive put a kill switch on it now so both switches have to on for it to work . They had a good feed that day that group 400kgs worth, there was enough to feed 4 groups for 3 days in it

Takes me back to the days you'd overload the bike with bags... and lose 3 off the back along the road

Grim day in the office, wind and driving rain, sheep are all over the place sheltering, they'll have to venture out if they want some sweeties

Thank you all for continuing and contributing to this thread coz with all you guys it would of died along time ago. Thanks for all the replies and banter and with all that's going on around us its surely needed. I hope this coming new year will be betterfor everyone, lets hope.
