In this instructional video, the speaker outlines a complete, DIY solution for raising two pigs using a purpose‑built pig tractor. The tractor is a 16 × 16‑foot cattle panel structure reinforced with 1‑inch metal tubing braces, equipped with eight non‑flat pneumatic tires and a tin shelter in one corner. A simple nipple waterer is installed by connecting a union fitting to a food‑grade barrel, and an optional feed pan can be added for liquid feed (otherwise feed is placed on the ground). Beyond housing the pigs, the speaker emphasizes the strategic use of the animals to till and improve the land: the area will be leveled, planted with a “COVID crop,” and the pigs’ activity will help restore a pasture devastated by a hurricane.

Here's everything you need to raise 2 pigs in a pig tractor. First, the pig tractor. 16 by 16 cattle panel height, 1-inch metal tubing braces across it, non-flat pneumatic tires, 8 of them, tin shelter on the corner. It's an all-in-one. We put the DIY waterer, a regular nipple there with a union fitting into this food-grade barrel, a feed pan if you're going to have any liquids. Otherwise, just put the feed on the ground. But this is a strategic place where you need the land work. These pigs work to till this land. We're going to level this out, plant it with COVID crop, and restore this hurricane-devastated pasture.
