How to Attach Wheels to a Chicken Tractor?
Chicken tractors can be helpful for moving around your yard for the purposes of letting your chickens run around on fresh grass. You may not be able to easy move around your chicken tractor, however, if it is too large in size. For this instance, you will want to attach a set of wheels to make the process go by quicker, and the quicker you get that accomplished, the quicker your chickens get to running around on a fresh patch of lawn.Determine where you are going to pull the chicken tractor. Drill a hole in the frame, about three-quarters of an inch in diameter. This hole should be opposite the side where you intend to pull your chicken tractor. Do it on both sides of the tractor, with each hole needing to be able to raise your chicken tractor a full inch higher than it currently is.You will need a washer to attach to your bolt, inserting it into the holes you made in the chicken tractor. Make sure to do this from the inside so that the bolt comes out of the side of the chicken tractor.Get a hold on the frame of your chicken tractor and lift it up into the air. You should set yourself up a few old cinderblocks so that you can rest the chicken tractor onto it while you work. If there is one thing that is a difficult task to accomplish, it is trying to attach some wheels to an object that is still flat on the ground. Putting the chicken tractor on the cinderblocks will let you place your wheels onto the bolt that you inserted. Secure its position by tightening a washer and a nut onto the wheel from the outside.If you want to be able to further lessen the strain and the load on the wheels, you may wish to consider attaching another set of wheels on the chicken tractor. Try placing them away from the center and more towards the corners if you want to put four wheels onto the chicken tractor. This will allow for better support as you move your chicken tractor.
