Hey everybody, my name is Bruce. Finally completed my tractor. I thought I would post a couple pics and see if you think i need to change anything. Comments greatly appreciated.

Looks like you are using hardware cloth instead of flimsy chicken wire - good for you

. What are the length and width dimensions? How many birds will be inside?

Tractors are not as secure as a well built permanent coop would be. Predators can dig under them - BIGGER predators can turn them over and eat the contents. Maybe you don't have those type of predators in your area. But, I'm assuming those examples point out the cons of tractors.

The bottom is double wired. We are in Florida. Plenty of predators.
