Labour Saving and General Guntering

Cut it as tight as possible with a 9 inch grinder, probably at a 45 degree angle (vertically).
Then youll have to cut away at the remaining stumps with a 4 inch grinder till there's nothing left.

I need to remove this feeding barrier. As you can see it's recessed into the wall and welded onto the girder. Ideally I would cut it off flush with girder. Any ideas how I would go about it?

Just cut off what you can, than griend the rest of.
Take a bit of time though.

You could use a welder turned up to the last and burn through as appossed to welding .

And finish with mop disc on 4 inch grinder

SuperTortoise

Would you get a 4 1/2 inch grinder in there? A recip saw would cut it flush, arc welder turned up to the balls, plasma cutter, oxy-acet set, depends what you have to hand.

Kind of a labour saving question ... im buying a bale handler for front loader .. the one with the spikes covered by pipes.. would ye recommend getting it galvanised or would I just stick with paint as it comes?
Would I be just putting extra expense on myself for nothing ?

TheFarrier

Ours is painted. I’ve never even seen a galvanized one

renandstimpy

Neither have I just wondering how long before it would need painting if stored in shed when not in use .

Once they get enough grease during and after use, they'll nearly last forever.

Galvanised only works until the zinc is scratched/worn off. I wouldn't bother for a bale handler.

Have a Coen handler here approx 9 years.Well made. Practically as good today as the day we got it. 95% of paint intact. Just keep greased and tines tight and there's no bother. Can recommend.

Does anyone have a idea or use anything for narrowing a cattle chute when working with weanlings/younger stock to avoid them turning so much.

If you can get your hands on the very strong type of plastic pallet, they are a great job.

Don't laugh but my wheelbarrow has a puncture. Bought a new tube but must have pinched it putting it on. Tube leaking so took tube off again. Checked it there and no sign of a leak. Completely submerged it in water. :rolleyes:
What am I doing wrong? Put plenty of air in it.

Also are those solid wheels the job?

How about some oko. Should keep the air in it.

Are you sure it wasn't leaking from the valve the first time?

And yep those solid wheels are the job.

Solid wheels are great on just concrete. Can stop at a stone or just a lip of concrete.

Thanks guys. Youd be lost without a wheelbarrow.

Splashed out on two new wheels here!

SuperTortoise

As already said could be leaking from the valve, never tried the solid wheels, i'd imagine you need plenty of concrete underneath them.

I've got one on the barrow from Lidl/Aldi.
But then it's just a small plastic body barrow. It made it extremely easy to push but then the loads would be small and on concrete.

Thepillowman

Know a guy who got sick of fixing punctures on wheelbarrows on building sites he used to put hay Bob tyres on them.

TheFarrier

Solid plastic wheels are grand but the real job are the launching trolley wheels for small dingys. They’re the very same as a wheelbarrow wheel only they’re solid rubber, they have a bit of give in them for bad ground
