are they kidding with those prices???

love what they did with the tow bar attachment for the dolly though...

hmm, Washington, not Texas. And it's hard to tell, but it looks like 1"by 1" wire on the run. Tsk, tsk. Snakes, mice and rats will go right through that, plus racoons can reach in, grab your chickens and pull out dismembered parts.

1/2 by 1/2 wire, maximum.

I agree, it might be worth it if they had used proper wire. I use either 1/4" or 1/2" hardware cloth on my coops. Good quality wire can get quite pricey.

Edited to say: If that siding is plastic or fiberglass it won't last long in the hot sun. Living in Arizona I know first hand what constant hot sun can do to these materials. One season and it's crumbling up or cracking.

Thank you Nike! I think they're wonderful too and if used for what they're intended, a tractor, they'll work beautifully. Also might be neat for some breeding pens. I wouldn't spend what they're asking, but I would certainly steal the design and build one myself with a couple of improvements.

Oops my bad,, WA.. I love the idea. I dont have problems with any critters where I am so it wouldnt of worked for me.

wow, they are expensive! My husband could make that for 400 bucks and still make out OK.
they are a cool design though~

I think you can do it yourself, and save some $$

I may need to work a little OT to afford those tractors. I don't think I spent that much on my main coop and run,,,,,,, well, maybe I did! Shhhh, don't tell.
