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

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.

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.

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.

Are the pans sitting on the timber to raise them up?

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.

Is there steel through the wall? Go deep at the foundation?

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.
