Pig Tractor

[elbesta]

Has anyone made or seen or have pictures of a pig tractor? Like a chicken tractor, only much, much stronger. I am going to make one to keep my boar in.

Update: with picts of new pig tractor.

My neighbors have used a round hay feeder with hog panels lining the inside as a pig tractor, but it was a pain to move.

Some pics with a real pig in the tractor. It took her only 4 days to dig up the area then I moved it.

Your tractor looks darn sturdy! I've made tractors for my chickens and use that same hut design for my horses and critters in the pasture. I thought about making a tractor for my pigs with 4x4's as a base, those beams look a lot better though. I run everyone in pastures and rotate them but if I ever have the need, I will be stealing your idea- fair warning!

That looks cool! We just use hog panels and move the around. Two people can just grab and go, but ours are all electric fence trained as piglets and we dont have to deal with a horny boar. Can your setup be moved by hand or you need a vehicle?

I use the 3 point on the tractor with a ball hitch to move it around.
