Dispenser For Feeding Range Cubes

Dispenser for Feeding Range Cubes LIVESTOCK Beef 12-6-28 Feeding range cubes or cake with the new Schonert-built dispenser is as simple as pulling a rope from the seat of your pickup or tractor. Designed for universal mounting in the back of your pickup bed or on your tractor's 3 pt hitch, the dispenser holds 460 lbs. and feeds out by gravity flow. "One man working alone can slide it in and out of a pickup bed," says inventor-manufacturer Douglas Schonert, of Bismarck, N. Dak. It's made of 14 ga. painted sheet metal, 2 by 2 in. angle iron framework, and measures 32 in. high, 42 in. wide and 24 in. deep. Operation of the rope pull is spring-loaded, providing infinitely variable "on the go" control of the amount of material dispensed. The new dispenser sells for $369. It's manufactured by the same firm that manufactures the popular Tre-Ro-Weeder you've read about in previous issues of FARM SHOW. Billed as "the most trouble-free weeder on the market for both trees and shrubs," it's equipped with a hydraulically-controlled digging arm which can be veered in and out for close-up cultivation in and around individual trees.
