[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1775415, member: 498"] I have made a number of these. I have 12 foot and 16 foot models. Just a 2x12 and 2 2x6 the same length. A couple of pieces of 2x4. Free old junk tires from the tire store. Pretty cheap and easy to build. They just don't tip over. Tall enough calves don't lay in them and rarely crap in them. I use a piece of 1/2 rebar that I ground a point on. Heat it up red hot and push it through the tire. Match up the holes and bolt the tires together. Do the same thing on the top tire and drill holes in the 2x12 to match. It works a lot easier to bolt the 2x12 down first and install the 2x6 side rails after that. Give you more room to get your arm in to bolt the 2x12 down. [ATTACH type="full"]23469[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
