You could be right, but it's allegedly in Dave's back yard. Come to think of it, not many trees in Janetstown. Maybe I'll have a play with them........

Definitely a scam. 1 trick is to pick a very remote place (so that it's location is far enough away most people won't can go for a look... and find out it doesn't exist). Second trick - it's far too cheap. Third trick - the last pic is lifted straight from Cox/Allflex/Alligator advertising/brochure.
As a rule of thumb I would never trust an aluminium mobile yard that is for sale on ebay.

May of posted this before but Bought a Prattley off of eBay five years ago. Went to see it, paid for it and dragged it home.
About two years later the chap phoned me to see if I had sold it recently. Turns out same pictures were being used and he had several people contact him that had paid depposits to the scammers looking for their Prattley. He could account for £7500 they had taken and obviously there was more.
Really sad stories from people but they all had one thing in common, they though they were getting a bargain and common sense had gone out of the window. But that’s serious money to earn from a few hours on the computer.

No they don't move, in the shed it always goes back in the same place, i use the short pins to hold it down in the spreaders and gates and pre drilled holes in the floor
.Outside use the same, shorts pins in the ground and use the L posts

I would be lost without my rappa, but what I will say is the hurdles are too low. Nothing worse than nearly finishing shedding off, and then them jumping over the flipping things.

Id have to get the higher hurdles, our sheep are bad for jumping out. The landquip porta yard have 1m panels as standard

If I was going to get a fresh Ali yard I'd go Land quip I recon.
I borrowed a standard height Prattley several times while starting out and always had multiple hoggs and gimmers clearing the hurdles each time. Went for the high Rappa hurdles when I bought my yard and it's a huge difference, though the mules still manage to clear them occasionally if working with the dog in the pens.

Go for scotpen with 40 inch hurdles. A shearing customer has a landquip yard, it’s ok but I compare it to my scotpen like prattley/rappa owners compare theirs to the alligator.

My dads short legs wouldnt handle that
Do you think the landquip is lacking something? Its about £1000 cheaper than standard rappa

To me it just looks and feels like a cheap version on the scotpen. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with it though.My dads short legs wouldnt handle that
