Labour Saving and General Guntering

emaherx

How about using this thread to show off our engineering skills (or lack of!)
A lot of us have home made or improvised labour saving tools / implements lying around. Similar to stuff in Farmers Journal labour saving compettions. (without the prize money:p).

Maybe we could use this thread to share interesting ideas and discuss improvements.

I don't have any pictures at the moment of my own but I will take some at the weekend if not before.

My own projects include:
Quick hitch for front loader (fairly rough but works), designed to fit Trima implements onto MF loader.
Adapter to fit bale lifter onto front loader.
Various other loader attachments spikes etc.

Current project is a wrapped bale transporter being built out of remains of an old Muck Spreader. (only just started, currently just an axle and draw bar).

Their maybe other stuff around too, I'll have to have a look.

So what are peoples opinions, is this a good idea for a thread?

Would be handy for bringing in newborn calves from mad bitches of cows. You'd be fast enough to get away from them.

I came across this idea on an American site I read a lot - Garage Journal.

Someone took a length of square guttering and cut slots into it to make a tray for spanners - useful if your sick of having them all thrown into a drawer and need to sort them every time you look for one specific size.

A bit of concrete fired in and all set for a bit of guntering over the weekend.

Might sturdy had the 14 foot gate on it first solid as rock.Red ESB ducting fits the gate posts snug. Mighty handy way of hanging a few temporary gates anywhere. Was told next time to do it with a lorry tyre as they not at high when flat on ground.

renandstimpy

Great idea there .. handy as well if you wanted to split field temporarily with tape you would have a gate in it handy enough

Just washed it down and gave it a good scrub. Didn't bother preparing it too much as the paint doesn't last too long on the lifter as it's used

Yea just rubs away after a few bales
