Today at work

Wind was blowing the wrong direction today

Made a ring feeder . My neighbour says I’ve over engineered it ?

Think your neighbour might have a point!

But its square? Perhaps your neighbour didn't like to say?
Good job mind.

 

[Muddyroads]

But its square?

But he said ring feeder, not round feeder. Perhaps it’s for feeding rings?

Ah for feeding arseholes?

I designed the concept in my head . Halfway through the build I had the feeling it may be a bit heavy. However in my defence all the materials were ‘found’not purchased. The critical dimensions were 1) bulls not getting their heads stuck & 2) it must be exactly 1748mm square which is one crash barrier cut in half

I can tell, if you were going to do the job properly you would have used some bent crash barriers to make a ring feeder?
Does your ground run along side the A14 without any crash barriers by any chance?

 

[cows sh#t me to tears]

Today at work, the quick fix and bodges or workshop projects thread not quite sure prototype cattle trough out of recycled scrap angle iron from old grain bins and waste blue barrels, anyone got any spare plastic 205L drums they want rid off I could do with another 33 so I can replace all the rotten wooden ones in shed

Have you thought of 2nd hand conveyor belt. That's what I made a heap out of 14 years ago. Still perfectly fine.

Patent it quickly before IAE snatch the idea to make their feeders more durable - not! More than the galvanise holding yours together.

I am sure the rhinos will love it

I’ve seen that used too. But I didn’t have any of that to hand

 

[Old Tup]

Hope you had plenty of fresh air around when you were welding the Crash Barrier…the galvanising on them is of another world…

 

[Gerbert]

Really pleased with our new grab from RSL , we can load the chipper a lot quicker with the digger than the timber crane . Today we were on some good wood that we had stacked in the yard and could put a good load on our 16 ton trailers in about forty minutes ( about 8ton of chip ) .View attachment 998294View attachment 998295View attachment 998296View attachment 998297

Very nice, keep them coming.

Might have to copy that for our new bull pens

Yeh not many quarries left around here that would’ve had some kicking about

Some of me at work this week

If you want more pics or dimensions just ask

Don't think you can over engineer one of those , they rot away at best of times so more metal the better
