Wet day job,.. No stand leg for the Haybob.
Aldi wheel barrow wheel about €10.
30mm Gavanise blue band pipe. Cut at the correct angle to make the wheel roughly on centre.
Pin for an arm made the axle. Clip to hold it in.

Welded a bolt on the top to steer with spanner if needs be.. but it works fine without it.

Can you push the haybob into a corner of a shed now?

Yep. Can steer it like a trike,, with bad steering , but yes. I can.
Very easy to push on concrete.

I object to this!! this is not labour saving and definitely not guntering ...............


spotted a cattle box recently with a 7 up bottle covering the bearings where the cap had gone missing and he was moving too fast for me to get a picture..........................................................that is proper guntering..................

Bar using a sledge is there any other way of crimping/flattening blue band tubing. Christ it’s solid stuff. Hand about to fall off from the belting.

If not too long I used the vice to crimp it

Don't crimp it,, cut it and grind it,, then weld it. Crimping is ugly..
Or get a notcher.

Professional grade guntering, looks like a counterweight off a mini-digger or forklift?

Nekarsulm

Yeah, looks like a fork-lift one, turned upside down.
The back wheels would have been either side of that narrower bit.

+1 on the notcher but not worth buying if only a one off job. If you’ve a chop saw it’s very easy notch them though.

I am making a feeding barrier gate for a shed i done up. There is a good bit of crimping to be done. Would you mind explaining how to go about notching the pipes?

Cheap one using holesaws. These work very well.
If it's a 90 degree joint, cut at 45 on both side of centre line and a littl tidying with the grinder.

Blue band is very heavy for a pipe (shears) notcher. A cheap one won't last long.

You just cut an angle off two edges of the end of the pipe. I’ll look for a video on YouTube and send the link. If I can’t find one I’ll pm you a picture

This is one way but he is making a big job of it

This with the chop saw is a better method and if using a grinder you are better do it this way too. Much quicker

Figerty

Some guntering.
Have welded up and repaired the king pins on the steering of the Ford 4000.
I have also repaired the front axis pivot shafts and bushes.
Welded up first, flapper well to grind back slowly and use the new bushes to size it.
It's like new now.
Bushes, and thrust bearing on both sides replaced now.

Why I hate working on Deere's! Had to make this "spanner" to remove the starter motor on a 3650 last night!

Anyone need a new hammer?:D

I turned a very battered old IBC into a relatively square meal bin today.

Nice job. Stick a 3x2 frame on the underside of the ply lid. Will stop it twisting over time. It's the end of plastic bags for emherx

I might just do that. Thanks.

Very good. We have 2 ibr side by side in the calving shed, a full sheet of plywood across the top, used as a makeshift bench. With your design, they could easily double as storage too.

I definitely may do similar. Was getting away with ton bags till I went to move half full one from the shed of the few late born calves in June, lifted it and meal flowing out the arse of it, and a huge rat wobbled away from it, too fat to even bother running ha.

IBR plastic won't keep out rats, they can chew through tougher than that. I have seen them to chew half way through a shed teak door (boiler house) where a bag of meal was temporarily left overnight.

At least you knew the nuts were good... Would you get 3.60/kg for the rat?

foxy farmer

I accidentally made an IBC fountain one day back in 2018 during the drought. I had about 20 ft of 1" pipe on the outlet valve that I pushed onto a philmac gate valve. Put it filling and forgot about it. Came back after 45mins and a jet of water was shooting 30 ft into the air from the vent on the filler cap. It had swelled out like a balloon pushing the cage out before it. Here's a pic soon after I turned off the water. The swelling had subsided somewhat but it was some sight.

I used to keep nuts in my jeep and I hopped in one night, driving out the yard I heard rustling beside me . I taught how did the cat come in. I turned on the light and the biggest fffuing rat with a tail 2foot long sitting in the passenger seat beside me, !aaaaaH

Looking to put in a crossing over a drain about 4ft - Corripipe or concrete..Any suggestions?

We've always used concrete pipe here. Is it 4ft deep or wide? What will be crossing it?

Probably both - both 4ft wide and deep---Not much goes through that drain but want a lifetime job - What will be crossing it? - Probably sheep twice or three times a year and a few cattle the same...would not be used regularly

How much water flowing in the drain? this will determine the size of pipe required. Twin wall is way easier to put in, but is in 6m lengths, so how big a crossing do you need? four concrete pipes may be cheaper, but it depends on your requirements...................................

I put in Corrigated pipe a few years ago.. you litterly kick it into the drain.
Gravel on top etc. and it was grand.
