Got to fire up the new smoker over the weekend. Pretty happy with how it worked out. Zero welds just cut, drilled and bolted

Hi does anyone have a made up bracket mounted of a shed or similar to hook a big bag of fert onto with loader tractor that you can then reverse under bag and fill spreader on the loader tractor . Would appreciate any pics if anyone can help.

I saw a guy with that setup from journal but he had a frame underneath bags with a sheet of galvanised mesh on it. It had two purposes... To filter any lumps out of fertilizer and also as a safety measure if hanging poles failed the bag would just fall the few inches onto frame. Another option if you have freestanding space... Two RSJs a few feet apart, X braced, and another RSJ sitting on top horizontally. You can hang two bags on either side. When spreading a lot you can fill spreader with however many bags it will take then hang up four more bags and then take off grab off loader.

For those of you talking about buying a magnetic drill earlier, I found this on adverts.ie:

No idea if it is any good but I thought some of you might be interested.

cage welded up from a old mesh gate . Runners for front sliding gate. Hanging awaiting dry paint .
U frame for hanging it off .

Question
What's the easiest way of hanging from one point to scales. I don't want it swinging all over the place and I want to keep weigh down .

4 chains would be a little loose

Ideas??
Pics attached to help

Will you not have to fit the mesh cage into a frame? And incorporate a system whereby the cage is not hanging suspended on the scales all the time?
You are probably best to have the scales and cage attached a link that allows you lift the entire thing by a lever when the lamb is in and standing still.
The yoke I have has a U shaped channel each side of the frame, and two little roller bearings each side of the cage that run in the U channel.
Must take a pic.

This is what mine is like. Can't remember the name, except it's Scottish. There are two roller bearings each side, and the cage can't "rock" about when the animal is being weighted.

Pictures tell a thousand words ðŸ‘

I see what u mean to stop the rocking.
I'm thinking a large lever handle to rise cage when lamb stops moving might be the easiest not doing too many but nice to know the weight .

Didn't realise the discussion had moved from sheep

try to make it digital anyway, if you could find something like this with a platform big enough to put the cage onto

Reggie or others. Have any of ye used waxoyl before?

Take for example box section steel in a guntering project. You can sandblast and paint outside but sure inside has no protection.
