new hoop chicken tractor

[patman75]

We just finished our new tractor. 6x8 foot print and 5 feet tall. Easier to move, no poop board to clean, better predator protection with hardware cloth, food and water move with coop and it can be used for meat birds, turkeys and chickens. It will be mostly my summer pullet grow out coop.

Great job!

Every morning when I go to move my tractor a few more feet, I kind of kick myself for not going with more of a hoop design. Oh well, maybe after I get the nesting boxes all done, I'll figure out a way to put wheels that will lift the tractor up to make moving it easier.

My wheel design is based off this design. http://mydrawingboard.com/galleries/pegasus/chickens/tractor/thetractor.htm

Maybe it will help.

My first tractor is a catawba. I'm so glad I don't have to move that thing around anymore.
