Sorry I know this is a little off topic but wonder could some of the genius' here come up with a solution to a problem I have. Have bought a robotic vacuum for the house but inside the back door we have a step up to each area of the house and I'm looking to make a 3 small 6" ramps so the vacuum can move between all rooms in the house.

2nd robot. 2 zones

I got a zinglint one but couldn't get it to go rightly from room to room. Seemed to get confused.

Have a PTO driven grain roller here, crushed grain is delivered out a side chute. Any ideas on some thing that would deliver from this chute area and move it to a meal bin 4 feet away and 4 feet high. I was thinking along the lines of a small auger. Any ideas welcome. Maybe someone had sorted something.

Perhaps a secondhand Orby auger from some lad updating his milking parlour?
The end with the motor on, obviously.
Could be worth asking a milking machine fitter if he knows of anything, otherwise set up a Done Deal alert.

Auger would be the cleanest and simplest way to do it.

A friend sent me a video of this little machine. Scraper is worked off an electric winch. Cheaper version of a lely scraper :P

After many decades of service one of the crush uprights started rotting at ground level and was pushed outwards by a cow.

To save us the effort of breaking concrete and putting down a new upright we cut the cap off the existing upright and shoved a length of 3 inch box iron down into it with some agricultural persuasion

Welded it all back together and a lick of paint to leave it looking untouched.

The new box iron section has a 5mm wall so should hopefully be a lifetime job.

Is that a Nugent three point linkage side slinger in the background? Is it of any use?

Done same with mine!, bull backed against it and bent it back, only difference was i could'nt find 3" box anywhere so had to use 3" angle welded together to form a box and then persuaded down into the old box.
You made a grand tidy job of that.

Its a fleming but I think there the same thing. Spreads dung as well as any side spreader but only suitable for small amounts unless you like hardship.

I did similar with a crush here, the uprights were breaking at the ground, uprights were tubing so got an insert but had to drive them into the uprights with the post driver, insert were so tight..... it's some job now

Not sure if this has cropped up before, has anyone made something for shoving in silage. Like a rotating tyre.

Sorry for butting in. I have a MF 6270; and the exhaust has rusted away, its the pipe coming out the side, the box and upright are ok. Any one every fix one

Do you mean it's rusted at the manifold where it comes out of the block. You can buy manifolds online.

Post a picture of it if you can.

Lots of them around, some made commercially. You need a reasonable amount of silage to keep it turning. Other option is a snowplough design, a V, not sure which is best, wheel one a lot tidier so easier to sell and transport, was thinking of making V one, and turn it the other way to clean out waste silage,
Any opinions from anyone who has a V type?

Used a few of these Rawlplug Eye bolts this year. Used it here to temp block off a 30 foot gap. Same setup at the other end. Was going to hang 2 gates instead but this works fine. Cows won't go tru it.

Wouldn’t it be earthing off the concrete?

It's not live. I just need to keep back cows while I'm cleaning the yard. I could run the mains fencer out to it and put eggs on the end of it.

I have a few screw on insulators put into a mass concrete wall with rawlplugs for gap handles to hook onto. Good job

If they are well used to a fence they wouldn’t even think of touching it so maybe no power in it.

Get a length of some insulated electric cable and form it into to ring at both ends with one hooked into the eye of the bolt and the other ring can be hooked onto your wire.

Buford T. Justice XIX · 01-12-2019 12:18pm

I use the insulated half of the old type wire strainers, the egg with a metal hook in half the egg and a hook jutting out to hook into the strainer bit. I hook the egg onto the gate/fence/rawl plug eye bolt/whatever and then hook the electric fence handle into the other open insulated end.

Very handy to have when you need a quick electrified fence.

In Munich and saw a few IBC tanks. Do the maths yourself.

tractorporn · 02-12-2019 5:10pm

This was Saturday's mini project. I was sick of looking at the pile of logs spread out over most of the shed so hopefully this will tidy it up, with the added bonus of drying out the logs at the same time. I have a lath nailed onto the wall to stop the pallet falling and its screw in at the bottom to the other pallet. Hopefully it stays up or it's back to the drawing board.

Ya. Lucky enough now not much escaped . It split the weld on one of the braces going across the pan. Our own fault. Was getting a bit heavy handed with the poker trying to move it down along the wall.

Happen us a few years ago with them pans. Split at the corner like that. Lost a lot of concrete that day. Concrete wagon driver wet it up too much. Savage pressure with wet concrete. We changed to the big perri pans after that

We had it fairly wet aswell now. Truck driver was telling me after he was at a job last week where the pans gave after the fourth load. Some mess. A set of the peri or doka pans would be some job compared to the 6x2.

If doing a slatted tank it Might be as well let the building contractor price for labour and concrete so to avoid any conflicts.

The outer ones are. We did it a bit arseways. Poured footings and then floor and wall on top of that. Inner pans were six inches higher and all screwed into floor.

Looks like a good job. Would you not have put one or two bars down on the other side to allow you to put a bar in across to keep a small number tight in it later? Or even left a few slots out of the wall to allow you to slide a bar through?

Ya we set rebar in the footings and tied mesh onto it for the wall. Think the footings were 9" deep.
