[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1709856, member: 968"] [USER=24027]@TCRanch[/USER] can you put the water intake at the bottom of the tank - like a Jobe waterer? Works kind of like a toilet. I went to that system on all my water tanks. Cattle love to play with anything they can reach on the water tank. A few years ago, I put in gravel feed pads next to the fence, so we don't drive the tractor into the winter lots any more. Just set the bales over the fence in round feeders. Was going to purchase a new work chute, but looking at all the "gadgets" that come with them, I decided my plain chute was just perfect. Purchased a new headlock and mounted on old chute. Our chute has palpation gates, and the two main sides completely open for access to the animal. We can put a bar upright to keep cows from swinging. Also, changed from a balance beam scale to a digital. Love it! Don't have any plans for major improvements - just maintain what we have. Very little steel on this farm. Only hay equipment I have is two spears on my Case 656. Have an old JD 410 backhoe, and an ancient 15' batwing brushhog. [/QUOTE]
