this is too cool...well i had an old manual feeder that fell and i never picked it up..well there was a wire tied to it from the tee stake i had once held it up with...well the hogs wanted that old nasty corn outta it so they played a lil game with it and ended up tilling most the land around it..so i made a contraption for the hogs to help me!!!!


it is a piece of 4" black ads drain line.i am using 10 feet long ..2 caps fer the pipe....2 long bolts and matching nutz...a nice sized stake...and sum corn... drill 1/4 - 1/2" sized holes in the top of the pipe, pour corn in, put the caps on ie long bolts with nutz runnin through the cap and pipe. hammer the stake in the ground and the hogs will kick this thing round that stake fer days, and what i found is an area to apply plot too, its awsome..all i gotta do now is keep movin up my hill, and soon my plot shall be large.


SORRY BOUT MY CRAPPY PIC

The way I see it, is that only the outside perimeter where the outside bolt would be, is the area that would be tilled.

Wouldn't you want to add some vertical bolts throughout the pipe as well to get more aggressive distribution of tillage?

Also, too many holes and the hogs will have their fill. I'd make sure there were only a few holes to keep them working longer!

It's called a pig pipe. Try this. Throw some small rocks in there so it will rattle when the corn is gone and the hogs think there is corn still in it and keep playing with it.

na the hogs do the rootin, thats the tillin, and yes not many or small holes will slow the corn down, but mainly the holes are just on the top of the pipe, the nuts/bolts just hold cap on the ends so corn don fly out.

That's too funny,better yet i think it might work!!!

Oh, ok, I thought it was like a home-made tiller you were making. I missed the point it was the hogs diggin' stuff up. Got it.

Yeah, sounds like an idea. Just think, after they get an area tilled up, move it, then again and again.... Soon you'll have an area a plane could land. LOL!

thats what im doin, buildin an airport lol

i plan on movin it up the hill after 1st area is done and plottin next year...

anyone else use diesel gas to attract the hogs in the summer time?

That's great....Hogs to me are a double edged sword. I'm glad they're not on the property where I hunt, but kind of wish they were.....
JC-

We barbecue hogs and use a small machine called a rototiller around this parts for our deer plots. LOL
