For many years my uncle had a contraption for his little Ford 8N for hauling a pigs from one spot to another. It seemed to me (as I remember it) it was attached to a 3 point system. Something like a forklift on the back of the tractor with hog panels on all sides. You lowered it to the ground, loaded a couple of hogs, lifted it and moved them to wherever. Pretty nifty and one of the simplest ways of moving hogs ever. I would think this would be quite handy but have never seen another one. Was something like that manufactured at one time, or was that likely a homemade device? Just curious. Thanks.

Thanks guy, I'm sure you are right about that.

In these days of "pastured pork" moving a few hogs around at a time makes sense and this would seem to be an ideal implement for the job. (We were into "pastured pork" 40 years ago, by the way, before it become so popular with niche marketing like today. Should have charged more for our feeder pigs back then I guess!!)

Probably just a carry-all with the hog pin built on it. Most farm supply places for $60-80.

Probably homemade but I have seen kits to build platforms, it would not be hard to add sides.
