We used junked equipment to make a portable 3-bale feeder. Our only out-of-pocket costs were for welding rods and 2 gal. of paint. We used the wheels, axle and heavy gauge angle iron from an old farm elevator as well as I-beams from a junked house trailer and a 16-ga. paint dip tank from a local manufacturer. I also used the upper framework and roof off a 16-ft. stock trailer which I had built 30 years before. I cut the 16-ga. steel flooring sheets out of the old paint tank and welded them to the frame-work of the trailer. [push bales into the 2-wheeled feeder from one end. (William P.
