Pasture Feeder

This versatile feeder allows you to feed your livestock from the comfort and safety of your vehicle. You won't have to worry about getting trampled or crowded by your livestock as you remain out of harm's way in your vehicle. Simply load the bin through its large 16" x 33" opening and control the feed flow with the spring-loaded dispensing gate from the cab. The large dispensing gate allows you to release cubes, pellets, wafers, and range cake with ease.

The feeder has a fully welded angle-iron frame that creates a very solid base. It's made with 18 gauge, galvanized steel, and the lid has a weatherproof cover to keep your feed dry in the elements. The dispensing gate moves vertically to control the feed flow and is spring-loaded so it can be operated up and down, open and closed from the cab of your vehicle. There is also an 'off-set' chute for when you are feeding in the snow and wish to direct the grain into a tire track to prevent it from being lost in the snow. It is approximately the same dimension as the straight chute but is mounted at an angle so the feed is distributed at the side of the feeder instead of the middle.

The large 500-pound capacity allows you to drop a lot of grain in the pasture without reloading frequently. The feeder itself measures 36" long x 35 " wide and 36" high and weighs approximately 121 pounds. This is a great, handy, and semi-portable pasture feeder that will make feeding your cattle and livestock from your flatbed truck a breeze.

It's covered by a one-year warranty against workmanship and production defects.
