"Slat Buddy" Carries Slats Into Hog Building
![]() |
To ensure a higher quality slat, we started pouring our own. We make them 2 ft. wide instead of 4 ft. To carry slats into the building, we developed the "Slat Buddy" û a 4-wheeled steel unit equipped with a hand-operated winch at each end. It picks up a slat and we roll it into the barn.
Since we made the "Slat Buddy", several farmers have built units for themselves. We had a local welding shop fabricate the unit from our plans. The total cost was $375 to $400.(Charles Lee, 189 Lee Lane, De Queen, Ark. 71832 ph 870 642-3428)
