HOW I BUILT THIS SHEEP TRACTOR in 4 DAYS for under $1200?

My version of a LIVESTOCK TRACTOR which was built in 4 days using parts purchased from 3 box stores and assembled with minimal fabrication. This unit can house SHEEP, GOATS and CALVES and can be disassembled for easy transport or other uses.
Here is the waterer that I used in completing this tractor as seen in this follow-up video: • The ONE THING nobody t...

That’s the best most simple to build sheep tractor I’ve seen yet.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Thanks Jason!

[@kentuckysustainableliving3583]

@@therealprtrhsenteal I’m might build one now for my sheep.

[@AdamRapier]

I dig it. Thanks for the idea of another option

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

You are welcome. Glad you found it useful. 👋

[@Rusmiscin]

Excellent work, looks great.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Thank you:)

[@Private2024.]

Thinking about and ruminating lol😂for a pen for ruminates.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Lol 😉

[@liljoe8952]

Great vid, easy to follow and tons of great info. Gonna have to build one for myself

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

That's great and I hope you can improve on what I have done. 🙂

[@Private2024.]

Great work!

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Thanks:)

[@godricfamilyfarm]

Great idea, thanks for sharing

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

You are so welcome! It is working well so far. I have made a few adjustments and probably will do a one year review and include what I might have done differently. Thanks for watching 👊

[@londonpickering8675]

That is slick!

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Thank you! 😉

[@cory1641]

Thanks for sharing. Going to build something similar for my sheep

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Right on! I'm glad it gave you some ideas. Take it and make it better! 👏

[@cory1641]

@Porterhouse and Teal absolutely!

[@mandiegarrett1706]

Awesome. My local tractor supply doesn't budge much...maybe a 10 to 20% off max if something not selling and we bought a bunch of them. Thank you.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Stuff that is damaged beyond just dented usually can get you 50% off if you willing to negotiate. My local store also does 50% off feed sacks that have been ripped open and resealed. They put them on a pallet in the front of the store on Sunday first come first serve. Glad you liked the video mandie:)

[@brostonmash]

Awesome video 🫡

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Thank you! I finally just got sheep in it yesterday! Glad you enjoyed the video:)

[@brostonmash]

@@therealprtrhsenteal Congrats . My wife and I live in New Hampshire and we’re interested in housing a couple sheep and goats on our property . We’re currently in the research phase which I luckily found your video today and thought your build realistic and achievable for us. Best wishes , look forward to discovering more of your findings .

[@wendykruk1288]

Love we just did a large chicken tractor I'd like to make a video about.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Awesome Wendy you absolutely should share what you have built. Ironically I just started construction on another tractor today! Cattle panel style 8'x8'. Not sure if I'm going to do a video on it or not. Maybe I should I don't know! 😄

[@SherrickDuncan]

Update video with sheep or goats in this free ranging?

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

I absolutely will when I get some sheep this spring!

[@lowreadyacademy2929]

It's been a couple of months, how is it holding up? Any changes you would make? We are thinking about building some.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

I haven't used it enough to know what I need to change yet. I am still coming up with a good watering system. I hope to provide an update to this video soon. Thanks for the question. 😉

[@rustyrayfield6513]

I'm looking to get some sheep and I already have some miniature goats. Do you need any shelter inside the tractor for them?

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

I have plans to tarp a portion of it to provide shade in the summer. I'm not certain how well it will work since I have yet to test that out. Let me know if you come across a better alternative. Thanks!

[@yeledyahubenisrael3929]

At 6:15 mark, sounds like me in the kitchen sometimes. What concerns do you have for snakes and wild animals that climb or hump over top?

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

I am not concerned with snakes or animals climbing over. I believe this to be resistant to the predation I am mist concerned with but only time will tell.

[@zac0912]

How do you secure the bottom, so they don't push the flaps up? Mine would be out in a second.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

There is enough weight to the skirts at the bottom. It has never been an issue yet. I was driving pins in the ground to make it more secure but I stopped when I realized it wasn't necessary.

[@LifeDoneFree]

I have been thinking about a TRex tractor...now I know the guy. Lol

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Haha it also can be easily converted easily to accomodate MMA fights!
