One skill I don't have is welding. I have seen quite a few plans for those things but they were all made out of metal.

@CntryBoy777 are you anywhere near Hattiesburg? I just saw on the news that a Tornado came through there.

Naw Mike, we are between Memphis and Batesville, Hattiesburg is about 2.5hrs drive from here SE of Jackson. Just now hearing about that, feel so sad for those down there. We are under a threat of Severe weather tonight tho. ;)

And why COULDN'T you make it out of wood??? It isn't something that has to be lightweight to toss into the back of the truck for off farm work. And it doesn't have to be a fancy squeeze chute combo. And you have a tractor with a bucket, yes? Easy enough to move any tilt table you build wherever you want it.

Or you could fix a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" plywood to the bucket, strap the sheep to the plywood and tilt the bucket. et voila, easy tilt and you can bring it up to whatever height is comfortable for you! ;)

Hmmmmmm....Interesting concept! I guess if you figure a way to secure the animal to the plywood so they'd be safe and secure.... hmmmmm.... (where's the scratching my head emoji?)
