Handy Devices

Troy Williams, Mount Vernon, Kentucky, used an old tire buried in gravel to support a pair of 12-foot-wide heavy tube gates. The tire supports the gates where they overlap by about 2 feet. More, if he runs over the tire with a tractor or truck, it pops back up. He chains both gates to the tire when working his cows -- the tire resists the weight of the cows pushing. Williams holds the chain together with a carabiner clip.
