[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 297413, member: 2653"] JO, It is a hog panel. I cut out the shape of the water trough with a grinder, and stapled it to the posts. I use the gate for mule access and to move the cows. That one trough worked so well, I'm thinking of splitting all of the paddocks in half again (to about 8 acres each) and using the same type setup to get the most bang for the water trough buck. I think I'm going to have to drive a metal post in near the water trough to provide more support, though. Not looking forward to driving that post in. ga. prime, the tractor is an old Ford 4000, 1968 model. I actually traced the numbers back to it being a Canadian tractor. One tough tractor. It's just too small at 52 hp for all of the land that I will have come Jan 1st. I will more than double to 200 acres, and will need something to pull a bat wing clipper. [/QUOTE]
