    Never saw them before. Do they hold 50mls? Do the normal needles fit it?

    You have to be careful using them, especially at the 2ml rate......if you have the syringe full and pull the trigger it just compresses the liquid and spews out when you take it out of the ewe, have one here, don't use it now for that reason. I'm probably going against bone/muscle with the needle when that happens and blocking it

    A bubble of air in the barrel can cause problems in any type of automatic syringe because it will get compressed.You wouldn't even have to go into muscle to get enough resistance to have it spit when you take it out.

    Ya to both. Friend has one and did my calves with me 2 months ago. 44 calves dosed with hook gun and done for blackleg in about 15 minutes. Serious job.

    The hook gun is the only job for dosing cattle. Bought one a couple of years ago and honestly could not do without it now. The idea of trying to catch an animal now and dose with a normal dosing gun seems madness.

    Was thinking of buying one of these alright. Just curious how do you dose a animal who say puts his head down on inside of crush against the wall for example and do their heads have to be up to dose ?

    Yep, heads have to be up (same story if you were dosing with a normal dosing gun). Pack the crush as tight as you can and that will help. You will always get an awkward one that drops the head and there's no way round it but a few prods of a stick to get the head up again. Failing that, you just have to let a few out and catch the troublemaker in the head gate.
    In any case though the hook is the bees knees. Start at the back, reach out with hook before they realise you are there and you will catch most of them before they know it.

    But when you go to put it in their mouth do they not just shake their head to avoid it ?

    Considering that looks like a 3c mkII or mkIII, it's not really guntering it's the engineering that she deserves.

    Sounds grand. Those Leyland engines always had a nice sound off them. Yeah, a bend from old vacuum line. The flange on the end was just the right diameter to match the hole in the silencer. The silencer looks like the last lad wrapped the original in heavy gauge sheet and welded it all round.

    Yeah i was just wondering how you got the weld on with the heavy pipe to a light silencer. Fairly heavy duty there now.
    Stick a whistle on the top there now so we can hear you coming.;)

    Yep, I have a 1989 3cx Sitemaster at home, have it nearly 20 years now, and that 3cMk2 on an out farm, about 8 miles away.
    I got it because driving the 3cx over and back is a pain, and its only for raising a bit of gravel, bit of ditching, digging post holes etc.
