X-Box Feeder Maximizes Returns
 ✖  |
Steve Greenslade says his X-Box Bale Feeder cut his hay feeding costs in half. “We were trying to find a way to lower our feeding costs when we came up with the X-Box design,” recalls Greenslade. “It works so well, I only use my processor for bedding and the tractor for loading the feeders.”
The heavy-duty hay feeders are fabricated from recycled oilfield tubing. They are 12 ½ ft. long, 7 ½ ft. wide and 7 ft. high. There are two models available: cow/calf and cow/bull. They weigh about 2,000 lbs. and are mounted on skids.
“You can pick them up with a hydraulic bale truck like a bale or skid them with a tractor,” says Greenslade.
The upper half of the feeder holds the bales up and off the ground. Solid panels on the lower sides protect dropped hay from getting soiled.
“It even works well with freshly weaned calves,” says Greenslade. “They have no problem learning to reach up to the hay.”
Greenslade says customers have told him their X-Box Feeder paid for itself in a month with feed savings alone.
The hay feeders are priced at $2,795 (Canadian). Greenslades offers discounts on additional units ordered.
