FEEDER IDEAS FOR YOUR FARM!

What happens here

The cradle bale feeder consists of four sections: two cradle legs and two gate sections. The creator demonstrates how to connect these sections using bolts. He advises wearing gloves due to potential sharp weld points. Once the main cradle structure is bolted, he inserts a gate section which slides into place and is secured with pins, allowing for easy hay loading. This feeder is designed for feeding various livestock without letting feed fall to the ground.

Goal: Assemble the four-section cradle bale feeder.
