Handy Calf Trailer
"Moving newborn calves into our barn was always a 2-man job. So I used scrap metal to build a low-cost trailer to do the job. I pull it with an ATV or my Kubota RTV 900 utility vehicle," says Darryl Pierce, Straughn, Ind.
  The trailer's frame is built from 1 1/2-in. box steel. The sides are old fence panels that were cut to fit and welded in place. The trailer has a drop-down tailgate and can also be tilted on the axle.
  "The only new parts are the wheels and tires, which I bought at a discount tool wholesaler for $65," says Pierce.
