It shakes a uniform feed mixture down the trough, provides its own feed bunk and has guard rails as standard equipment. The “562” is versatile in oper ation too. A variable speed drive, powered through a rugged 3 hp motor, allows you to feed fast or slow. The stainless steel trough is self-cleaning and enables you to build a feed bunk from 22 to 102 feet in length. Extends to any length by using a drive unit every 102 feet. And the unique shaking con cept means you can provide an even ration mixture for any type of feed—even baled hay. Dollar for dollar you won’t find a more economical bunk-feeder combination. And, since there are no augers, chains or belts you'll find maintenance expenses are close to nothing. That's the ‘*562”. A little money. A lot of versatile bunk.
