[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 802142, member: 2653"] My employee that welded everything suggested that I buy some 1/8" thick pieces of metal and weld to the bottom of the runners as "skid plates". Might do that; we have a machine shop close to work that does all of our machining/heavy work, and they could sell me some 1/8" thick by 4" 8 feet long to use as skids. Boogie, that's a great idea! I even have some cattle panels around the pastures - I use them to patch holes in fences when I don't have the time to properly fix the fence. That would hold they hay better. This morning I rode past it as the sun was coming up and the calves were all standing under it eating the hay, while the cows were around it eating. Seems to work well. I'll leave it in the same place for two weeks, then post pics again. [/QUOTE]
