[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7439657, member: 86168"] good friend has just moved farm from here, to down west, and helping out, we have acquired some 'bits', to good to scrap, but not to truck down there. Several old gates, we hung a 20ft light looking gate friday, it took 3 of us to lift, and hang ! it was heavy, generally any 'old' gate, is x10 heavier than the new ones. We have plenty around that i made up 30/40 years ago, still looking good. The same applies to water troughs, we have a few 'riveted' ones, must be ancient, i do like them more, when told they sell for about £400 on e'bay, as they are smaller troughs, that money would buy a large new one ! We had a problem in some new cubicles, bolts were shearing off, checked, they had substituted 4.5 strength instead of 8.8's, more hassle, the difference in cost must have been tiny, but x several million, adds up.
