went ahead and built a couple of new tube today. here is what i did:

put a hole in the center of the cap that would be glued on the pipe.




put the 1/8 inch cable through the cap and made a hoop. i put a bolt through the pipe and the hoop on the cable and then glued the cap on the pipe.





i glued the fitting that has the removalable cap to the other end of the pipe.





i measured down the pipe and drilled a 5/8 inch hole. i turned the pipe 90 degrees and drilled another 5/8 inch hole and moved on til i got four holes on all four sides. (picture if the pipe was square then there would be a hole on each side working your way down the pipe) i can always add more holes if needed but have found that less holes is better.





finally, on the end that goes over the T-post, i made a hoop of cable with a swivel. on the other side of the swivel i connected the cable coming from the pipe.

wow very nice man cant wait to start on mine when i get out of work i'll start on it tomorrow morning and post the pics!!

yea hey pafree if you dont mind me asking what do u put or your hog tube!!

hey yo big-TX u have that right homie!!!

are you asking what kind of feed i put in my hog tube? i have been using a 50/50 mix of corn and sweet feed/ horse and mule. i also throw a hand full of rock that are just a touch bigger than the hole in the tube so if all the feed comes out then the hogs still think there is something in it.

have not been able to see your hog tube. work blocks photobucket pictures.
