I have a few Victa thumb latch catchers that I want to get rid of. They are all broken/repaired in the front lip area and they are not suitable for anything that I would use them for. If nobody wants them I will cut them up so I can use the screens out of them
I can't really see anybody else wanting them but I have to ask, maybe somebody wants them. I have to start clearing some of this stuff out and I just counted 18 Masport catchers, looks like I will probably have to cut those up and the screens in those are not much good to me because they are too small
Chicken farms are long gone from around here but many years ago there was a place that sold day old chickens My next door neighbour went down there and the bloke walked out and there was thousands of these chickens running about. Brian said he wanted some chickens and the bloke said he has come to the right place. Then with all these chickens running around Brian pointed out that he wanted this one over here and another one over there. I can't repeat what the bloke said but part of it was that he was one of the last big spenders
I can't say I have ever found one of these catchers in hard rubbish or at the scrap yard in all the years I have been looking. So around here I think they are harder to find than your standard black plastic catcher which I find most of the time.
Speaking of chicken farms and the catchers, yes i'm sure there was a tv show I watched not long ago that showed a farm where they were collecting chicken eggs and they showed some lawn mower catchers as the nests. I can't remember what show it was maybe something on the ABC about a month or so ago now? Gardening Australia maybe? Can't remember but yes it seems they like to use catchers as the nests for the chickens.
It makes me wonder where do they find all the catchers? Do they do tip runs, hard rubbish runs?...lol
Maybe if you put them up for sale a farmer will turn up and buy the whole lot? lol
Cheers!

Zip a dee doo dah, zip a dee ay, another trash picked Victa, hip hip Hooray!
Converse I guess a chicken farmer could go to mower shops and ask for the catchers, a mower shop can dump the old mowers in the scrap bin but they probably would have to put the catchers in the dumpmaster and that then costs them money At the moment I have probably half a dozen thumb latch catchers, 18 Masport and probably another 10 odd catchers so if they don't start moving out of here soon I will start cutting them up, I can cut up at least 4 every week and get them to fit in our rubbish bins, still take a couple of months to get rid of them
