Jeez thats a great price , whats the longest they make them and where did you get them ? If you had the time to build stone pillars to hang them from they would look even better I think .

Thats what I was going to do originally but I am a bit stuck for time because the work has to be all done by the 4th of January and thats getting dangerously close now. A fellow in Boston made them, it wouldnt be too far from Gort and he will make them to whatever spec you want. If you want to know any more I can send you a pm.

all sorts of ways to sort the trough using some decent sized timber as a crowbar.

Lovin the gate, only thing is it looks narrow. would you still get the grant on a double gate?

I've gone to the extreme on a new entrance, 28 feet wide, it's probably madness, but it's a narrow road, only 22 feet between the ditches, about 16 foot of tarmac and gear just keeps getting bigger.

Redzer,
Are the gates galvanised? You might PM me too. Fine job. Yer man wont know where all the extra business is coming from. I love the double gate version with cut stone on the sides.

just do it

They are nice alright, there's a few lads still making them around here. Some weight in them compared to a normal gate.

I dont really need to move it vander, I had the gravel levelled and all but I didnt think your man would have as much trouble trying to put it in. I will have a go with the tractor tomorrow, If it would lift it an inch one side at a time it would be enough.

A track machine? A good lad on one would tell you quick time the best way to move it. If you've a bit of gravel to level as well it could make it worth your while getting him.

One of the tractors used to shunt the finished Cultivators and Air seeders around after they are built.
More pics to come

Picture of a couple of calves we have on the farm, they are calves from the first few sucklers that we ever kept on the farm.

The two RHF calves are heifers and are about 6 weeks olds out of CHx heifers, both calved unassisted. The BZB calf on the left is a bull the other calf is a heifer, they are both about a month about of LMx heifers.

The calves are sucking the cows twice a day, I welded up a barrier which ties over to the gate in the calf shed. The cows are lieing in matted cubicles and I let them out to the yard in the morning and evening, the calves run out under the barrier and after about 20 minutes, when they are full, they go back into the bedded shed and lie down and then I shut the cows back into the cubicle shed...working well enough so far.

Nice calves there. Any chance of a pic of the set up you've described for the calves

Buncha Fives

Ye; no problem although it will be later in the week because I am working away from home for a few days and it is too dark when I get home to take a photo.

Its a very simple set-up I actually wouldn't have believed it would work so well only I seen a similar set-up in another farmers yard. Although its not my best bit of work, I got my measurements a bit wrong originally and I had to make an alteration to it which made it look a bit clotty!!

Its a ten foot, Its not a place I would need to be bringing machinery in and out of so its alright for the job, I could have got bigger ones but didnt really see the need for them to be honest.

Here's the flagship model we build here and a pic of me to add some scale
The 7950 Airseeder this bad boy will hold 7363 gallons of seed and fertilizer.
This is generally coupled to a cultivator that can be anything up to 86 feet wide.
I'll grab a pic next time one is in the quality assurance bay

So far so good, lots to learn and learning my way around thing here it's a huge factory. Bit of s steep learning curve so far but very enjoyable!

They are looking for welders and industrial painters at present if anyone fancies a change of country!

That's some machine alright. How do you find Canada? Starting to get Cold now?

againstthetide

Its been cold since the start of November really.
We got down to -32 for a bit but are back between -16 and -22 or so now.
Have had a fair bit of snow so far but it snow even when it is not snowing due to windy and flat nature of Saskatchewan, but I don't really notice the cold any more not really an issue once you dress properly

Muckit

Makes you think about 2 years ago... pissin and moaning when we got a few weeks of -15!! That's a cool autumn day over there!!
