At what point do you say "Enough is enough"

[Auslander]

And buy a new feed bucket

 

[Chinchilla]

That's got a couple more months in it I reckon.....

 

[JoannaC]

Plenty more use in that yet

 

[milliepops]

yup, just needs a good scrub. and when it has finished its life as a feed bucket, many more years of service as a hoof picking skip!

 

[SEL]

My Appy would get her nose in there if her food was in it - so plenty of use left in that.

 

[Auslander]

It lives to fight another day! I had to beat it back into shape with the fence post knocker

 

[Ranyhyn]

RIP

 

[MuddyMonster]

I was beginning to wonder if mine needed replacing but I now think they have decades left in them

 

[Auslander]

I have actually ordered some new ones for the pancake maker. I cant be doing with broken handles!

Me neither. Even though I know it’s broken I still end up grabbing the broken handle and spilling feed everywhere.

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

You should have left it scrunched up to slow down any greedy eaters!

 

[Abby-Lou]

Billy band the handle back together LOL

 

[cauda equina]

Mine get new handles - a hole punch and a bit of baler twine does the trick

 

[holeymoley]

Just stomp it out with your foot

That was take 2 of the long drawn out rejuvenation process. Not a chance those fold were coming out with anything less than a beating with a fence post basher

 

[Lintel]

Exactly why I bought the rubber skip buckets ?

 

[Trouper]

Tut, Tut - pour boiling water in it first to soften before re-shaping!!
Better still - get the little beggars to pick it up for you and make them work for their supper.

 

[tda]

One working handle so okay for a while yet ?

 

[Christmascinnamoncookie]

The purple feed trugs I bought are extremely flexible. I recommend them. I doubt even the most dedicated bucket squasher could destroy them.

 

[MidChristmasCrisis]

As my OH would say...have you got the receipt for that...(meaning go and return/exchange). Oddly enough I’ve got to replace a red bucket soon..I’ve been muttering about water spillage in my feed area and daughter not being careful when I finally realised a crease had worn through and the water for the beet was running away..doh.

 

[Bellasophia]

Agree with RIP...rest in pieces.

 

[Auslander]

I am torn. Give him the new buckets, or confuse everyone by changing the colours around (every horse has it's own colour). I feel that he doesn't deserve shiny new buckets, if he's going to pancake them, throw them around and generally abuse them.

He is very cute, even though he is a bucket squisher.

Make him have one that sits in a tyre.

Make him have one that sits in a tyre.

That won't be very comfy for him to sleep on!
