Reusable cable ties are the way forward .............

They actually exist.

Yes, why did you think I was bluffing, Lidl had them there, before Christmas.
Honest .................

So which carries more "bodgers respect" points: buying re-useable cable ties or carefully releasing and saving traditional ones?

Neither! Baler twine should be used.

But not everyone can use baler twine properly ...........

Years ago I used to have a Yamaha DT175 trail bike, which I used around the farm, and fitted a rear carrier to it. A 20 litre spray can with the side cut out and bolted to the carrier made a good top box.
I used to refer to the bike as my 2 wheeled Landrover.

I meant bend them while shut, and only bend them enough so that both the posts and your knuckles don't touch

Didn’t realise that it was shut in the picture! Bending the handles would work on that one alright! Most I see the handles are fairly close to parallel when shut so there isn’t much room to bend them in!

Decided not to dress/treat our seed this year so bodged up a bag filler and weigher. Used bags of course.

The crash barriers are attached to top of mixer wagon by baler twine.

Hope you approve. View attachment 764676View attachment 764678

hope you don't weight the cattle with it as well

I'll have to take a picture tomorrow of what my dad has bodged up on the same type of tank to hold the cover down when the plastic bolts holding it down snapped. It makes this look professional!

Dad's bodge to fix the cover for the water tank after cattle pushed their feed over it and broke the plastic bolts holding it down. Tied half a concrete block to it to weigh it down to stop the cattle rattling it quite so much. The pallet is tied to the barrier so the cattle in the next pen can't reach the string to chew it and open it. (They have their own water tank) I think this qualifies as a bodge!

New light bar fitted but I don’t think they used the manufacturer supplied brackets.

I've seen something similar were someone had made a pen on wheels to walk some sheep down the road by himself. I thought that was a great idea.
Not sure why you wouldn't just use a stock trailer in this case though

He mightn't have one ..............

No washing out?

No FABBL inspector whining that your ramp is 0.00001% of a deg of angle too steep.
