[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1368578, member: 6291"] I didn't realize you wanted that size on purpose. Thought you just bought that because it was a good deal. No you can not get a new one that size and style for $800. My dad will build a cattle guard with no wings or swing gate that will handle normal farm/ ranch traffic for $800-1000 depending on the width. We use those on the ranch and fence right up to them. I put fullsize gates across all cattle guards. Most of the time they stay open but if it's on a road or we are crowding cattle or some thing I close the gates. I can fence to them and put a gate across them cheaper than wings and swing gates. Usually the base is a grand and the wings and swing gate are a grand, seals are $500. That's rough numbers. It's + or - a couple hundred dollars depending on size and how heavy duty. My day job is Production Sup for O&G. I put in all the roads, cattle guards, pads.... and fix all the ones that get hit. It's rediculous what happens. 2 months ago an oil hauler hit our entrance on a lease. Bent 4" pipe over and broke the welds on 2 7/8 runners welded to it. Had to tear his truck up. I tracked him down and asked him... Sir, did you hit our entrance on the XYZ lease? In broken up english he said... I may have... I can't remember. :shock: You can't remember hitting a 4" pipe and bending it over. [/QUOTE]
