Hopper Bin Tire Feeder
 |
 |
Findlay put three 1,800 bu. hopper bottom bulk bins in his pasture, and another 3,000 bu. bin in a corral by the barn. Each bin has a large tractor tire feeder under it (with the beads cut off and turned inside out) to act as a feed trough.
"All I have to do to feed cattle is to open up the slide on the bottom of each bin once a day to fill the tires," says Findlay.
He poured a cement pad under each bin to have a level feeding area. The tire actually sits in a recessed hole at the bottom of the bin, he says.
