Heh... my friend Bob built pasture-shelters for his horses that are three sided buildings about 15X25. They are on huge beam-skids on the bottom so that when they get dirty inside, he can just hook it to the tractor and move it to a fresh spot. Works like a dream. I guess it is like a enormous chicken-tractor.

When the county came by asking about his lack of permit, he showed them that it was portable, and said it wasn't really a building, it was a vehicle. Not sure now whether that worked longer than the initial chuckle.

Yeah!! That's the very principle behind chicken tractors! They are supposed to be large chicken houses on skids...but any portable coop is a tractor, thus ours (being pick-upable) is a tractor.

That's my understanding, anyways.
