By far, the lowest cost feeder-bunk
combination you can buy. This rugged
all-in-one Van Dale shaker feeder
costs as little as $23 a foot plus in
stallation. Expert engineering allows
silage to be delivered up to 102 feet
with only a 3 H.P. motor. You save
added dollars through lower main
tenance because its unique design
virtually eliminates moving parts (no
auger, feeder chain or belt).
Your rations travel along a (12" X
SSVa") self-polishing, stainless steel
trough by shaking action. The variable
speed heavy-duty drive is safely
It Shakes.
IR Stainless Steel.
It Handles All Feeds.
IRA Combination Feeder & Bunk.
And, It’s Low Cost
It’s A Stainless Steal.

shielded under the feeder. There’s
no feeder like it for handling such a
total variety of feeds... including
baled hay. Build any length feeder
with 10' sections and using a drive
unit every 102 feet. Van Dale's low
cost quality will make your non-stop
feeding a stainless steal.
