I potentially stumbled across a huge find at an online auction yard in a possible Farmall Cub Demonstrator tractor. While I can't say for sure if this is actually a Demonstrator Cub, it is definitely worth a peek. This tractor along with other antique Farmall tractors (among other brands), equipment, and implements will be auctioned off on June 25th.

In this video, I’m showing you exactly how I built a simple livestock scale for Plane View Farm using a FSK Livestock Scale Kit I found online without have to do any welding, only treated lumber. If you've been looking for an affordable way to weigh cattle, hogs, goats, or sheep without spending thousands on professional equipment, or needing to learn how to weld, this build is for you!
