    This would prob qualify as guntering. Lift hooks wouldn't fit between plates on spike. So bought longer hitch pins. €15 fix.

    Would you be worried about the pin on the outside breaking off?

    The lift arms have solid stabilisers so there is no outward pressure on the pin ends.

    The state of the back window on the massey. Would drive me mad! How much is a glass for one of them? I'd imagine less than e100?

    Out of curiosity what does it cost? Would a 2 wd driver tractor manage all that weight?

    Nice idea, now if it could be 'modified' to lift half ton bags into the fertiliser spreader for the summer.......

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Or the other way around - could a fertiliser crane be used for this job?

    Or here is a totally mad suggestion. Leave the round feeder where it is and lift the bale in over the top with a loader :D

    Reggie's pics reminded to ask. Can you get clamp/brackets like the scaffolding ones in smaller sizes. Last year calves were jumping out between the bars of the feed barriers and we ended up wiring old pipeline bars across to stop them. I would prefer to use something more robust like scaffolding clamps/brackets but they are too big.

    The clamps should grab the bars of the feeder like in my pics
