HO-made pig mover

[Soundguy]

had to move hogs all morning and afternoon.. made up a wood platform and welded wire pen and chained it into the loader bucket on my old 1955 ford 850..worked great.. drive up tot he pen.. set down.. swing door open.. run pigs thru the chute and then trap em in the cage... drive up onto the trailer and take em to the new pens down the road... after about 7 hours of this I was beat.. ( and smelly! )

That's a cool tractor. Do you put it in tractor shows?

How many hogs will the platform hold?

How many hogs will the platform hold?

I suppose it depends on how high you stack 'em..

This hog carrier had better be able to hold more than the Vietnamese hog hauler.

It's actually a pretty plain ford. an 850.. common model.. the 711 loader on it is nice though.. will break out 3000# and lift 2500# .

I have 3 of those 1-arm loaders on tractors right now, and another 'spare' loader int he pasture waiting on a tractor to hang it on, plus another loader in trenton GA waiting to be hauledhere to florida to join my other spare.
