Made this trailer to collect grass behind ride on mower. Should save a lot of time. She's a tipper also.

Never pick up the grass mow twice a week and you can mow when its pi**ing rain.

Once a fortnight is bad enough... Have hydraulic lift and tip so no effort anyway..:D. And rain doesn't bother my yoke either...

I'll probably put a light mesh roof on it cos there's a fair blow off the mower.

Due to a few extra numbers we had to use the old byre for accommodation as older cattle are out by day but in during the night in other sheds. The byre was not set up for calves and we had to be split four ways, ten calves to each pen. OH welded up some of the old cubicles to make gates but he ran out of welding rods and we had to use a five bar gate to make up the last quarter.
We used half barrels for water and crunch but the calves were pissing into them and soiling the feed/water.
My brother came up with a novel idea and 5 days later it is still working well

Some of the pics are the half barrels on the cubicles and the rest are on the five bar gate.

She is a big one and great to keep unwanted travelling salesmen away

I also have an 8 month old bitch pup in training, plus a fox terrier cross bitch who hears the grass growing and sets the other two off

Would be a brave man who steps foot in our yard.

Gone a bit quiet here, so here a few pics of something I made last night. Little lambs seem to be getting quicker, Either that or need a bit less Cheviot in the mix...........

Started out as a HayBob tine.

Would it be better if you drew out the tip and rounded it over, I'd be afraid of that ripping a sheep's throat, Happy Easter and all that:pac: I'll stick up a photo of what I mean later.

Nekarsulm · 20-04-2014 09:34AM

I think I know what you mean, and I might do thst, it would look nice as well as anything else.
Its only big enough for lambs up to a week or two old, was only using a welding tip on the Oxy and an old broken Hay-Bob tine.Oxy handy for brazing.
Had came across a little book about making crooks with both wood and horn, but thought to try this first!

Nekarsulm · 20-04-2014 09:36AM

PS, happy Easter to all at Clough.

Nekarsulm · 21-04-2014 12:40PM

A bit like this? If doing it again, would draw out the bar as a first step, would be a lot easier to get a nice even taper.

have2flushtwice · 21-04-2014 10:26PM

I made a new bracket for the shed door. Old one broke, i used unistrut, some u bolts and some oversize nuts as the thread on d u bolt didnt go deep enough.

have2flushtwice · 21-04-2014 10:32PM

I picked up a cast stand, a strong one, bolted a vice onto it. Great height for a grinder or drilling. I can drag it out into the middle of the floor for bigger jobs too. Nothing worse than hammering on the bench and everything jumping about.

If you need to get gear oil into a mower or fertilizer spreader or whatever, and find the filler hole is in the usual awkward place, you could cobble up one of these.

Advice needed; old custom-built water trough, been on the farm since year dot, stop-cock attached to a copper fitting threaded through the base of the trough. Fitting is leaking where the stop-cock attaches, so I took it off altogether and stooped the water flowing to it. (It's been giving problems for a while now anyway.) How best to repair? Can I bore a new hole higher up, push a bit of wavin pipe (1/2" HG) through and attach the stop-cock to that? If so, how best to seal the bore? Quick-set cement?
