    Hello all.
    Im new to boards. I was just wondering would farmes mind posting up their genuine pet hates about the farm. I am a farmer/engineer thats interested in making labour saving devises. If I can design and make something to solve your pet hate I will let you Know. :)

    Can you make anything that either...

    Flatpacks Dept. Inspectors when they call out - without making a mess?

    Makes needless paperwork disappear?

    ;)

    Plastic- storage and compacting

    Sweeping silage pit, can't bring power hose close enough

    Finding and fixing leaks

    Water drinkers in slatted sheds- the floats are awful poxy, I'm continuously replacing them

    What drinkers do you use miller? I've a few ancient ones from Mullinahone and they're constantly seeping so I've finally decided to replace them. However, the model they are, I think they're no longer being produced by the co-op so I'm searching for old supplies or parts. If I can't get any I will have to change the drinker altogether which will mean getting new brackets made up to hang them. Awful like work....

    The ones I have are the rectangular type with the "rugby ball" shaped float. Try Cormac Farm supplies in Tuam, they might have what you're after
