Yip work table should really be a priority. I actually had one against the side of the barn but for some reason it did not work out. It was alway full of junk. But i have since then changed my habits and have one now. Will make a video.

Next project should be a workbench maybe. Do you have a drawing of what i should build?

I think its a 2hp

People lived in the dirt for thousands of years and besides you wash them and ice bath them afterwards and freeze them

Nice value-added.

No gearbox. Just a v- belt running on pulley.

Lol yes after the first panel i thought ooo my word all that prep work and now the paint looks really bad. But once i rolled it things turned around

Will have to make a new one soon

@@homesteadfarmerdid you ever make it

You still got the trailer

@@JuanRodriguez-i1i6q yea

If you have time and patient you could weld it but the sheet metal is very thin so you should be good at it. Thats why i rivitted it on my welding is big time bad

1/3 HP

Removing all the wind-board fences one by one just to neaten things up. I think that it's starting to look way better but still have a lot to do to make it a nice farm. Lots of hard work ... Why am I doing this? Getting to old for all this hard work, but it makes the BOSS happy.

For sanding I used a "flapper" disk in my drill to get the rust off, I also used a wire brush that you put in a drill. For spraying I used an old fence sprayer I already had. If I were to do it again I would research "sandblasting", I think it would save a lot on time, it took me a few days to sand it down.

I bought a bag of 50 fingers for this pucker. I spaced the fingers about 2" apart.

Fingers are made out of rubber. Just google chicken fingers and you can find some.

Yes I like the tunes also.

I was looking for a paint strainer before I did it but was not able to get one at the store and thought to myself, I'm just going to give it a go. After a while I did thin the paint somewhat and it worked out great in the end.

May not look the best but it worked really good in the end.

Wow, awesome feedback, thank you!!. It worked really well as it is; but now that you said all these things it makes perfect sense. Where were you when I was building it ?. If I have time this summer I will come back and try and make it better. Thanks again.

Oo, Tunay na binibigyan tayo ng Diyos ng lakas upang gawin ang mga iniisip nating hindi natin kayang gawin. And when thinks work out ang masasabi namin ay thank you lord.

Yes it worked like a charm. Sorry for not showing the actual plucking, did not want to offend anyone (easy to offend these days, but they still eat them tasty chickens...) It worked almost too good, plucking a chicken in 30-40 seconds, even the small hairs/feathers came off. I did have one or two hick-ups but that's on me, I let the water get to hot and then it pulled some of the skin off. Also with the bottom open all the feathers were collected in a drum-lid and it was not problem cleaning it after. So all in all a nice build that actually work, so impressed also with my pig feeder working like magic. Stay tuned this spring I'm finishing my green/hot house for planting tomatoes.

Them big holes were fixed... they no more!! I was in a rush to get the video out but went back and patch them holes up. Also I thought it was a good idea to first paint then patch and paint again. No worries mate the rust will not come back soon.

Yes, actually I was thinking to do sand-blasting, but the cost to set it up just for one trailer was to much. Wish I had one. Actually if I had a sandblaster I would do ALL my other equipment. The stuff I use is from the 40's, still work but a pain in the rear end. LOL I have a bottom plow from the 20's that I still use, I saw the same one I use in a Museum and was thinking to strip some spare-parts for mine.

Nahhh, to lazy will make another video this summer and explain it all for you. And yes it worked really good, almost zero food on the ground. And it's good for 2-3 weeks with two pigs. Almost to easy.

I don't. Just build it one the fly. But this summer I need another, just because it worked so good, and I'm getting 4 pigs next year. I will make another video and try and give some dimensions. Only one thing did not work so good. Next build I have to make sure where the drum sits it's water-tight. I did get some water in when it rained and had to clean it out. Also I'm going to build a cement pad to put the feeder on. Once it gets empty they tend to push it around. Stay tuned for an updated video on that, for now it's just snow and -40C, lucky me.

Well thank you. It was a lot of work but every-time is see it I think Yessssss it looks so good but not going to do it again. A lot of work, OK maybe if I'm bored I will do it again it was fun.

Yes, I did the baking soda and it helped a lot.

Yes, actually it worked out really good. I fill it up and it's good for four weeks or so with two pigs. The only thing I would do differently is to ensure you insulate the bottom. If and moisture gets in it clogs up the feed. So far I only happened once or twice but your don't want it to happen ever. Also when the feeder gets empty the pig will start pushing it around, will have to secure it in some way. Apart from that I really like this feeder. I also have to work on their water, I need a drum with a drain at the bottom to clean it. Next summer I will work on it. For now it's back to shovelling snow.

Sorry your did not like it, maybe share your feeder and we can all have a look.

Thanks. Working with the pucker after the build also worked out good. I had not issues at all and it plucked really good. Some of the chickens got their skin ripped off, but that's not the pucker its the heat of the water when scalding. I will maybe work on a boiler next year.

The bottom is open so I just put a tray under to collect the feathers. I do have to stop after about three chickens just to clear out the sides of the drum.

Thanks, doing another trailer maybe not!! The hardest part was saning it down, it took me 3 days just to sand all the rust off. But go ahead and do your trailer the end result is very satisfying.

What kind of paint did you use it came out awesome great job

What kind of paint did you use and what did you use to sand and fill your rust holes?

Ok. Now why did i not think of it. Thank you i will fix it next time im out there. Wow i feel so .... now.

I only have about 30 acres to cut in hay. I use all the hay to feed my sheep in the winter months. I use straw for bedding.

Thank you. Yes its a lot of work but mostly to get rid of the weeds.

Not sure yet. Depending on how successful it is, first I will full up my freezers and then try and sell the rest.

There's no way you are putting all that effort in just to fill your freezer .

Now I feel really good. Hope you are right. I was hoping to just fill my freezer but if you are right I'm smiling. A few more weeks then we will see. Be sure to check the garden update video soon.

Thanks, will do!
