I husband believes in building things that will last. I tried to tell him I wasn't putting bears in the coop I was using it for chickens. It started out I was suppose to be able to move the coop with the gator.......that didn't work out . He moves it for me with the tractor because he made it about 1,000 pounds ( it will hold you down in a tornado) at least we don't have to worry about the cows moving it around.
