Looking for a new tool or piece of equipment that could make the day’s work in and around the barn easier? Whether it’s a tool or ornate addition to the structure—maybe even the structure itself—something new can add excitement back into your workday while making it easier at the same time. Here are a few tools you should consider.
Sand Creek Post & Beam: The Barn
If your property is lacking a suitable barn for your work load, focusing on structures and getting the type of barn you want to dress out your hobby farm is an obvious starting point. Whether you need new construction or a remodel of the usable space on your property, you’ll need a company that understands your needs.
Sand Creek Post & Beam in Wayne, Neb., could be just the right fit. Combining rustic beauty with the strength of rough-cut timbers, Sand Creek will focus on your dream structure while maintaining the American heritage and authenticity of a traditional barn. When your dream is realized on paper and the custom design is officially completed, Sand Creek will deliver the final kit to you for construction.
If you choose, Sand Creek can also arrange professionals to erect the structure for you. If you trust their design why not let the pros do the deal whole-hog?

Have you ever tried to clean stalls with a manure fork with bent or missing tines? The new Wave Fork by Noble Outfitters is a simple tool to make the dirty work a little less stressful. The copolymer plastic resin used to make the tines gives this tool undeniable durability, and the loading capability is maximized with tall outer tines. This stable tool also features an aircraft-grade aluminum handle to successfully lift those heavier loads.
Touted as unbreakable, the design implements a patented I-Beam rail and tine construction and has been rigorously tested on-farm. If you’re not convinced that this new product is for you, maybe the fact that it is guaranteed for 5 years will help you reconsider doling out $59.99 to purchase it.

Ever wished for a powerful light to peer down to the back of the stalls, or evento help you track down a lost calf out in the pasture late at night? With the new Xevo hand-held LED light from Cyclops, you’ll have the right tool to get the job done. Cyclops built the Xevo 500 using a high-power Luxeon M LED that has a burn time of 105 minutes using six energizer batteries, which translates into extremely effective lighting.
The light output clocks in at 500 lumens, and with a detachable red lens, you can slip through the woods or back pasture without disturbing the wildlife around you. It’s sculpted with an ergonomically designed rubberized grip to ensure you keep a good hold on the light. The Xevo 500 light is easily stored in the dash of your car or your barn’s tack, and at $59.99, your budget can breathe easy.
