Really appreciate the video, making life easier raising pigs.

Thank you so much Jordan. All the best from Croatia, EU.

Excellent. Now we need the same for the farrowing huts!

That is a vary great job a great video thanks for helping us we needed a good solution to feed our pigs at a low cost your bulk feeder is low cost and great design

Just hauled my pigs to freezer camp today. Nice feeder. Might try this next year.

This is great, thank you for all your hard work. I can see one of these in the future

Well done...I need more feeder pigs so i can build this. Love it!

Great job as always marine !

GREAT BUILD, NICE JOB

Great build. Asa builder we have to do everything precisely. But I could dumb it down a little like you said the pigs don’t care!!

Great video bud. I will be building 1. We have old galvanized feeder that you have drag around . I like that forks can pick these up.

Another great video brother!!

Amazing!

Great video

Great job

That’s a great idea!!!!

Love!!!

With the agitator/agitaion there is always feed in the bowl. But not too much to encourage wastage/the minimum of loss during actual feeding. Because the bottom outlets do not extend to the pan's sides. And. Because amongst other. A pig can only get its mouth to the feed. Experience makes any man wise!

Man I wished I had seen this when I was buying smidley and Osborne feeders.

Heck yea!

i think im gonna try one for a calf creep feeder ill put legs on it and raise it up a bit now im on the hunt for some totes thanks for the idea

Gosh that’s a nice hat 😁

Awesome info! How do you go about making the feed storage bin as you said in the vid?

Just cut the top off another tank.

just make sure the IBC tote previously held food grade material and nothing toxic.

Nice but I am forced to ask: what was the white residue that you left in the IBC?

@FarmBuilder

Potassium.

Do these need to be food grade Ibc totes? I have a lot of these around me but they have had chemicals In them. Being they it’s just dry feed and not water, would cutting the top and cleaning the inside really good be enough to not contaminate the feed?

I think that would be fine, it's up to your own comfort. You can also fill with water & soap and let sit for a few days.

@@FarmBuilder ya true, didn’t think bout letting it soak

Where u get non chemical totes

Don't know why you didn't use tote frame to mark out cutout. No need for straight edge layout.

These will be a global standard in 3 years or less.

Fake news.....

I have 10 5 plastic square tanks. What would I have to adjust? Just the length of it all or the angle of things would have to be different as well?

Just the length

hi there I'm from South Africa, excellent build ,having problems getting into your link for the building plans, any other way to get hold of them?

I think rainwater will be a problem when it runs off the surface of the plastic container and into the feed trough….but maybe I am missing something

Its not a problem unless it's several inches. Just to reiterate, this is a bulk feeder for large groups of pigs. They eat the feed out quickly. If you build one of these for 2 pigs then water could be an issue.

so that "holds the feed", how does it come out ?

Why not put the container on a deck that's on skids and cut holes at the bottom so the feed falls into the deck and you poor feed into the top of the container that you've cut off? This will give you a much larger feeding area. My large hogs would never be able to eat out of the small deck as in this vid.

How big are your pigs? 400 pound ones can eat out of it fine.

Makes a hell of a rodent and varmint feeder to since it doesn't have any lids where feed comes out, I mean Factory hog feeders come with flip-up doors the hog leff's to eat out of so that you're not feeding rats and varmints, not at all good at those young pigs get their front feet in there, this setup should cause a lot of feed waste and lost

This is an open invitation for you to come out to our farm and see them in action. I wouldn't be posting a video (and why I didn't for the 3 years of development) if it didn't work well. I'm not worried about the occasional possum taking a couple bites out on the pasture. Better some pig feed than some chickens. 😉

Lol.. If you have feed on pasture you will have some wildlife take a nibble. I have never seen a feeder that prevents this. We've had full grown black bears eating out of a pride of the farm feeder right along side the pigs. Flipped the lids and everything. An occasional rodent is something I lose zero sleep over.
