We had the local welding shop make a design of our own that works wonders! Subscribe to How Farms Work ► bit.ly/XYVvDd Facebook ► on. YpS8oH How Farms Work Store ► bit.ly/HFWStore
Your auger motor seems to need a weather cover. This is the best kind of farm inventiveness. As a kid, I was amused to learn molasses was put on silage, like I might put it on pancakes. It also has minerals and other nutritional value beside the sugar. I've also had it in milk, like chocolate. Thanks for all your work.
Nice... Good work! Made me wonder a few things, though... any problems with bridging? Considering the particle size of the stuff yall are getting out of the grinder, and the narrowness of the opening at the bottom on either side of the shield, I'm curious if yall have had any issues with bridging of the feed and it refusing to feed out the bottom, ESPECIALLY when you add the molasses to it... Might have to make some adjustments for that in the future, or if you have to haul the feed and it vibrates and packs itself down in the hopper before getting to wherever you're feeding it out the auger. Have yall considered adding the molasses into the feed as it exits the grinder and enters the auger, so it can be mixed in by the auger? Course it could possibly cake up or gunk up the auger... or maybe allowing it to dribble out through a hose on the end of the feeder auger as it's being dumped into the bunk, so that it's more uniformly distributed and won't gunk up the hoppers or auger? Probably wouldn't be a very hard thing to do... just make a bracket to hold a jug or bucket with a spigot on the side to adjust the flow as it dribbles out onto the feed by gravity flow, and maybe a short piece of hose to direct it down onto the grain coming out of the end of the auger... Later and KUTGW! OL J R :)
Could that be compatible with a 3 pt hitch and uses for tractors... so if the cattle or other farms are further away then it can be done faster than taking the Bobcat there or by hand still... and do you think it could be hooked up with the Hydraulics on the tractor.

Hey Ryan, Good Video.
Looks like a great ideal. Should save a lot of work hauling buckets of feed. Thanks for the video.

great looking peace of equipment
That looks like it works great that way better than carrying buckets
Like the feeder!!
Nice engineering
That's pretty sweet, nice job!!
Pretty Ingenious!
Good Job !!
Did you leave a wide enough opening at the bottom of the transport you had built? Appeared tight.
Very cool
like to see more of it at work
Nice... Good work!

Did you graphite the inside of the feeder to help the flow of the grain
so do you have to worry about the shield getting warped out of shape or the bracket things that hold the shield up breaking
How do you figure out how much to feed. What's the formula?
woody is my faourite farmer
I thought you just sold the corn and just fed the cattle bales.
I thought u sold all the cows??
Are you guys hiring?
