Took delivery of an IAE one a few weeks back and really pleased with it seams fairly strong but also light enough I can just about carry each hurdle and gate on my own. The galvanising and welding is also better than their usual poor standards. I would definitley consider a John Shephard one very well made and strong, a lead time of 4 weeks, painted & galvanised options and nice to support a small company, I didn't realise they made one till the IAE one arrived

We bought a new Ritchie tombstone round bale feeder last winter. Lasted the winter and still looks like new. Far better than my IAE and Bateman ones that are worn out or had plenty of repairs

Bought a Ritchie handling setup 9 years ago and it still looks good and works well. After sales service is excellent too!

No contest..... Richie. Put a cattle handling system in 2011. Still looks as good now as when it went in........when its washed!
