I emptied out the truck for my trip tomorrow. Need a couple of cattle panels and a roll of fencing, and feed.

How do you put the cattle panels in the truck? How many can you haul?
Pics please

You can fold them into a teardrop shape. My truck bed is 4x8, so pretty roomy. In this case I will likely get them cut in half because I am using them for gates. I never tried to haul a lot.

Nice! Does it have wheel well bumps inside the bed?
How will you cut it?

That's what we made our fence out of, a friend with a truck was nice enough to move them from Cascade to our house for us. We cut them with bolt cutters, not easy but doable.

I'd love to see what you make with them Cap.

when I cut welded fencing or cattle panel type fencing, I use a 4" 90 degree angle grinder with a metal cutting disc.
I also cut metal roofing with it.
which reminds me, I need to replace the electrical cord on it..
I went out and checked the v belt of Ollie, It doesn't seem to be too loose.
the temperature is dropping by the minute.
going from +27F this morning, to -5F tomorrow morning.
