    Photo would help. The lower down hole, where the old fitting went, can be plugged with a piece of wood, tapered, (like the piece of the handle of a shovel, where it goes' into the shovel head) You can wrap the piece of wood with a bit of synthetic cloth, old nylon sock or something like that. If the trough is empty and dry, you can use silicon sealant and the piece of wood. If you drill a new hole further up, you will still need a proper metal filling, as just pushing a bit of waving through it with a ballcock on the end, will allow the ballcock to swivel to the side etc., and not shut off properly.

    Ya, pity I hadn't photo. Good thinking re: wavin, may have to look at threaded piping instead.

    Its actually the end of a scaffolding pipe. There is a swivel on the end of these pipes so I just punched out the swivel and instant towing eye. No welding as is one piece so should make it stronger

    Local lad who's handy with the welder made this up. Can move about 6 calves a go. Was an old silage push off rake. Very handy round here due to bad knees and backs.

    Ya!!! Just back in over the gate and ram it out 😄.

    Trying to make it adaptable for the front loader now as it would make it much quicker and easier to use

    hard to beat a good mitre though, more contact area for welding and better job if you want to galvanise :)

    saw on on twitter a sheep farmer had. carry 4 ewes and lambs in separate area.

    It was a stand alone unit and was able to be lifted with a standard bale lifter there so no on/off the 3point linkage. There getting 2nd one made up so they can have one loading as other one is on way tot he field

    My bit of guntering today. May paint it so it looks the job.
    Gate was opening opposite way and was awkward getting in and out of field. Decided I'd change it. Only after I cut off hanger did I realise the other post was too short and wasn't as big as other hanging post. So I did this.
    It swivels around on post a bit but its okay
