Hay-Saving Portable Feeder

Hay-Saving Portable Feeder LIVESTOCK Feeding Equipment 34-4-19 "I've built three of these portable hay feeders, which I think save a lot of hay compared to conventional round metal bale feeders," says Norman Klenke, Centralia, Mo. "I built the feeder shown in the picture on top of an old Case wagon running gear. A pop-up camper top, which was being junked, was used for a roof. All lumber used to make the sides and posts on the feeder were treated 2 by 6-in. boards. "The front end of the feeder hinges open so you load in three 5-ft. dia. bales at a time using a tractor loader. One of the best things about the feeder is that when the ground gets muddy around the feeder, you can just hook up to it and move to a new spot." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Norman F.
