Hog Cart Made Form Old IH Cyclo Planter
Illinois hog producer Clifford Belsly made a slick hog-moving cart using parts from a junked IH Cyclo 8-row 400 planter.
The 6 by 14-ft. cart carries as many as 25 market hogs. It raises up to 30 in. high and lowers to ground level. "I salvaged the axle, wheels, hubs, hydraulic cylinders, angle iron, square tubing and box tubing from the planter. It has 1/8-in. thick metal plate flooring supported by four 3-in. I-beams. I used Behlen corn crib panels to make the 50-in. sides," says Belsly.
The trailer cost about $1,200 to build. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Clifford Belsly, Rt. 5, Metamora, Ill. 61548 (ph 309 383-4847).
