Portable Feed Tank For UTVs

Portable Feed Tank For UTVs ATV S The idea for Feed Train’s UTV feeder was born when a customer built a homemade model that sat on the back rack of a 4-wheeler He also wanted something to fit in the rear of a side-by-side so he came to Feed Train to ask them to work on a more usable design “His original unit was heavy steel but we used a translucent poly tank for its reduced weight and to be able to see how much feed was inside ” says Eric Lutz Feed Train manager “We added an aluminum base and built-in forklift pockets for lifting on and off a UTV It also has handles on both sides for manual lifting ” The 63-in wide and 38-in high tank sits on a 12-in aluminum base and can hold up to 600 lbs of shelled corn The entire unit is strapped to a UTV bed at multiple points An aluminum cover is held in place with bungee cords “Our 4-in electric auger sits down in the bed so it carries the load as low as possible ” Lutz says “It’s slightly angled to easily move the feed out the side ” The feeder has its own absorbed glass mat AGM battery so it doesn’t drain the UTV’s power supply A 9-ft control cord for dispensing feed along with a 9-ft charging cord come standard Control leads can be disconnected and remain installed on the UTV Available options include a digital scale and a modified auger for feeding range cubes The units are built from scratch and assembled in Unionville Dealerships are located throughout the U S but Lutz says they’re always looking for more Prices for the portable feeders start at approximately $2 225 plus S&H Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Eric Lutz Feed Train 2808 Industrial Drive Unionville Mo 63565 ph 888-592-2351; feedtrain@yahoo com; www feedtrain com
