Anybody need a chicken tractor built?
Permalink  

These kids of mine always have interesting projects for me when I come out and yesterday it was a chicken tractor. Built large enough to hold 50 chickens they move it through the grass every day or second day. We tried to make it as light as possible but still strong and are quite happy with the result. When I slip the little dolly under the front it rolls easy so my daughter can easily shuffle it around. Pound for pound though I think she is stronger than me. Anybody have one of these on your property?

 Just like GM in the old days, there aren't that many options, but some lucky purchasers ticked off all the boxes and got them all. 4 wheel drive is definitely a manual shift and not an automatic.  Also has the low ride suspension with the extra anti sway bars. Some people would say it rides like a wagon. No 20" rims on this gal. Has a tendency to want to lift the front end on takeoff.

How old are the kids and why did they build it? Just to move chickens from one building to another? Smart kids, I spent time on my uncles farm as a kid, drove tractors at 9 or 10, cars at 8. Ever seen a bunch of chickens running around with their heads cut off? Uncle used a chopping block and hatchet. Never drove an automatic until I was maybe 12.

It's my youngest daughter and she is 28. They put the young meat birds in these. Move them almost daily around the farm until they are ready for market. Pretty good demand for them but they aren't allowed to have over a hundred. Also have 20 pigs, 25 turkeys, and some free range laying hens. Last year my biggest challenge was protection from the fox and the raccoons.
