/ HIGH CAPACITY
fmotfr AUTOMATIC
BUNK FEEDER
GIANT CAPACITY
A powerful 9 inch auger is offset within a giant, folly
enclosed 12-inch steel hood. 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 unloadcr with ease.
FEEDS ENTIRE HERD AT ONE TIME
Feed is augered the full length of the enclosed hood and 2a
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 hood;
eliminating metal-to-metal friction and providing the right
clearance to prevent binding and clogging even when mate
rials have high moisture content. Horsepower requirements
are greatly reduced too.
