This would prob qualify as guntering. Lift hooks wouldn't fit between plates on spike. So bought longer hitch pins. €15 fix.

Would you be worried about the pin on the outside breaking off?

The lift arms have solid stabilisers so there is no outward pressure on the pin ends.

Most likely! You'd think he'd keep the frame of it pulled down out of harms way!

Out of curiosity what does it cost? Would a 2 wd driver tractor manage all that weight?

Or the other way around - could a fertiliser crane be used for this job?

That's a right job. It's always the simple things that work the best

Reggie's pics reminded to ask. Can you get clamp/brackets like the scaffolding ones in smaller sizes. Last year calves were jumping out between the bars of the feed barriers and we ended up wiring old pipeline bars across to stop them. I would prefer to use something more robust like scaffolding clamps/brackets but they are too big.

The clamps should grab the bars of the feeder like in my pics
