Handy Cart Used In Stanchion Barn
I built this handy cart to use in our stanchion barn so we don't have to bend down to reach wash pails and other equipment.

Handy Cart Used In Stanchion Barn DAIRY EQUIPMENT & IDEAS Dairy Equipment & Ideas 21-3-36 I built this handy cart to use in our stanchion barn so we don't have to bend down to reach wash pails and other equipment.
I attached wheels and handle off an old lawn mower to the top of a 55-gal. plastic drum. I cut the bottom third of the drum off so it's open at the bottom. The wheels mount to the side of the drum with 1/8 by 1 1/2-in. flat stock. The handle bolts to the side of the drum and the other side was cut off and mounted to a bolt on top center of the drum. I cut three holes in the top of the drum large enough to accommodate three wash pails and made a smaller hole under the handle for a trash bucket I hang underneath. I made a paper towel holder from a piece of 1-in. dia. plastic water pipe. It has a hole in one end to fit over a 12-in. by 3/8-in. dia. bolt and a slot in the other end to slide over the head when putting on a new roll of towels.
A holder for teat cup dip water completes the cart. It's made of a 3/8-in. dia. rod bent in a circle with a clip welded on to hold the bucket. (Michael Dwyer, 97 Leigus Rd., Wallingford, Conn. 06492-2517; ph 203 949-8043).
