This unique design provides a reservoir for silage and feeds the full length of the feeder, greatly increasing the capacity and speed with which feed moves to the livestock. Handles the output of the largest silo unloader with ease. FEEDS ENTIRE HERD AT ONE TIME Feed is augered the full length of the enclosed hood and is then automatically dumped into the feeding bunk, providing equal rations to each head of livestock at the same time. No cattle crowding. No spilled and wasted feeds, when feed is dumped, the hood closes automatically and repeats as often as needed. SILENT, CLOG-PROOF OPERATION Powerful 9-inch auger never touches the metal bood; eliminating meta!-to-metal friction and providing the right clearance to prevent binding and clogging even when mate rials have high moisture content.
