- Part 1 of the instructional build video for the FarmBuilder Feeder, a low cost DIY bulk swine feeder for out on the pasture conditions.
Extensively developed & tested on our farm over the last 4 years, this feeder has revolutionized our ability to manage large groups of frequently moving feeder pigs on pasture with significant cost savings.
Depending on tank cost, the material cost for one of these units is around $200. Compare that to other bulk feeders costing in the thousands.

Great build so far Jordan. Can’t wait to build mine. Thanks for sharing your super great ideas! Donald #moneypithomestead
Oh yeah, I have downloaded the plans for this build, and thank you so much for sharing these plans. Donald #moneypithomestead
Awesome!
This is blowing my mind. We have 5 ibc drinkers but I've never seen a feeder. I'm gonna have to build one of these asap.
It looks like a well thought out design.
Thank you so much J & L Green Farm for sharing and mentoring, Learning so much from South Africa!!!
Love and Respect!!!!
Awesome. I've been in anticipation of this video!!
Very interesting, can't wait to see it finished.
Thanks Jordan for this visual to accompany the plans! Tim
I’ve been waiting on this. My first bulk feeder was a round rusted out mess. I used metal and pop rivets to fix it. I now need a second bulk feeder. Hopefully your design will be my go to as we build this farm up. Great so far. Thanks for sharing!
Been waiting for this with the others here. Thanks!
Thank you so much Jordan! I have been waiting a long time for this video.
Awesome!!
Awesome job. Can't wait to watch vid 2. Hopefully you have cost breakdown as well with it!
Thanks Jordan, great stuff!
Very nice, thanks for sharing this! I'll be building a couple of these soon.
GREAT! Thank you so much Jordan 🏗🐖🐖🐖 Best regards from Mindanao

Sweet. I’ve been wondering how this was coming along. It looks like a great design.
Nice invention
Picking up our totes this weekend to make one!!
🔥🔥
👍👍👍
Don't forget part 2
Just going to buy the plans soon
It's coming...
👍👍
If you put caps on the pipes that swing, and just put a hole in it to run the rod through, you may not get feed, water, bugs inside the pipe? Love the video!!
I don't think it's worth the extra steps and cost to do so.
Sir: love your vids. But pls show us a 15 sec demo of how it works up front for better retention. Sink that hook and the reel me in over the rest of the build. Keep it up brother you are inspiring me!!!
He did some videos on this a few months back.
We have videos if it in the field and will have more in the future, this one is just for the build.
Can you please publish the measurements
Thx
Jordan, off subject a little. How thin do trees have to be in woods for grass to grow behind the pigs? And what kind of seed is best considering more shade? Thank you much
For good growth you need sub 50% canopy. We seed with barley, it seems to work best in the shade.
@@FarmBuilder Thank you very much. That helps a bunch. We appreciate your hard work
Great video! Is it possible to get away with a 4" pvc section instead of the 6"? Doesnt seem to be available at most hardware stores where in at.
Thanks!
Better then nothing. Lowes or home Depot will have the 6".
@@FarmBuilder Thanks! It looks like they carry it in the States but not in Canada maybe? Ill give it a go with 4
when filled up. how many lbs of grain does one of these hold? Love the design and getting ready to build a few of my own
about 1500
@@FarmBuilder thank ya so much
Could you show us how you build your farrowing huts?
Those are up next on our plan schedule.
How’s it work?
How do you download the pdf file
Does this trough sell as a kit?
Not yet. Just plans for now.
What did I miss? You don´t show the feeder nor how it works...
Next video buddy, coming soon.
