More Ideas From Vern Desotell LIVESTOCK Handling Tractor Drawbar Securement “I noticed on my Massey Ferguson 2625 tractor that there were round holes on either side of the drawbar above the hitch ” he says “An idea came to me about running a shaft through them rather than using the normal pins to secure the drawbar ”     He slid a 1-in metal shaft with an L-shaped handle on one end through the holes and welded 2 1/2-in metal flaps to it that swivel down beside the drawbar     “It makes it easy to hook up to something as you don’t have to be exact in backing up ” Desotell says “You just turn the flaps up hook up the implement drive away and the flaps drop back down locking the drawbar into position ” Cattle Tub Made Of Grain Bin Panels “I built my gate first then started from the center post welding the braces and upright bars out to the circumference ” he says “Then I used two layers of rounded grain bin panels for the half circle of the cattle tub portion On the top of the panels I bolted a curved angle iron so it wasn’t too sharp Along the inside I bolted on small angle irons to catch the spring-loaded gate handle as it closed ”     Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Vern Desotell 39825 225th Ave Clarissa Minn 56440
