is that pin ones ?Just bought some Bateman 5ft hurdles
£15.50 each for 20+
First impressions,stronger than the IAE ones I already have, esp the loops on the ends
I’ll stand corrected but I’ll be surprised if they are, I checked both out and was hard to tell them apart.Just bought some Bateman 5ft hurdles

They are. I had a quote for some sheep handling stuff, and was told all the smaller end stuff now made out there. Not to say there is anything wrong with them though, but I do think IAE field gates are pretty light weight nowI was told the other day by a very large IAE supplier that all their hurdles are made in China along with their cheaper End gates.
Not saying there’s anything wrong with em , maybe Batemans are too?
In regard to field gates, gates are getting lighter but just look which range it is. I think suppliers are dropping down the range to compete on price and minimise price rises. IAE and others make different strength gates so could just be a case of ordering a stronger gate.They are.

I agree, built to last. But try telling a farmer it's worth the extra £20I will only buy one sort of field gates now that are stronger and heavier than Bateman and IAE and that is Ritchie. You can tell the difference by just picking them up.

ir some would be a lot better with round bottom corners that don't drag in the ground ...even if there is a bit more chance of them rusting quicker

what kind of deals have fowk found for 4/5ft lambing hurdles I need a heap more this year and want pin ones not the daft loop ones! Must offer delivery or be in the Aberdeen-shire/moray area!

Same price I paid for a pack (25) of 4ft loop hurdles last year...
I believe they are IAE, but came completely unbranded from Smith's Fencing. Solid built and I'm very happy with them compared to the 20yr old ones they replaced. They are only really used at lambing, so don't get much abuse.
