Their Claims
1. (We are) #lln owner loyalty. More peo
ple buy (from us) when they remodel than
any other system. ”
2. “(Our) superior suspension systems
keep cages from sagging between
stands."
3. “Our chain feeder trough allows easy
access to feed but keeps feed levels furth
er below the lip of the trough compared to
drag auger trough."
4. “Our chain feeder trough has a steep
sidewall, discouraging feed build-up. Their
slope can allow a build-up Inviting mold
and disease."
5. “Our trough Is “ribbed" for strength.
Theirs Is built for price alone."
6. “Actual feeding space with drag auger Is
skimpy. In fact our chain feeder has 2’A
times more feeding space per bird. ”
7. “This allows the chain feeder to run as
few as three times per day while the auger
must run eight or more times per day. ”
8. “Chain carries feed and supplies a uni
form ration, with no feed waste."

Our Response
Since Ultra!lo was Introduced Chore-Time has out sold other
brands in new and remodeled houses, in our sales area and
nation wide. We admit we have had an advantage because
much of our remodeling has been complexes. But when com
panies order 2,3,6,20 or more houses at a time, changing over
entire complexes • what does that tell you?
Almost all houses remodeled with Chore-Time previously
had other brands of cages. Send for our list of over 200 Ultra!lo
houses in the Northeast.
Producers with older houses say truss rods have always
been a problem - they eventually stretch, especially with cages
Installed on 10 foot centers. This results In trough wear and
egg roll out troubles. That Is why Chore-Time has designed
truss rods out of their systems. Chore-Time uses 4 foot, 5 foot
or 8 foot centers and has no truss rods. Cages are straight
when new and stay straight.
The distance from the back
lip of our trough Is the same.
Birds do not have to reach any
farther to find feed. In addition,
Ultraflo contains feed in the
bulb shaped bottom of the
trough and the auger acts as a
grid reducing waste compared
to chain.
Ultraflo has the steepest
sidewall of any feeder on the
market and the least feed build
up. Ultraflo moves all the feed
In the trough while theirs
leaves feed beside the chain
causing feed separation. Flat
chain has barrels which are dif
ficult to clean. Ultraflo will
completely clean out in one run
prior to wash down.
Chore-Time trough is not built for price alone, actually it is
made with more expensive 20 gauge high tensile strength steel
and has more continuous breaks (9 verses 7) for greater
strength.
Actual feeding space is the same for both. The only space
limitation Is the birds per cage. Ultraflo actually carries more
feed than chain at normal levels!
According to producers and field service people the Ultraflo
is run as few as 3 times a day with the average being only 5
times. Each time Ultraflo runs, the feed Is re-mlxed at start-up
making it more appetizing to the birds. With Ultraflo you are
free to feed more often without concern for wear and tear or
electric usage you have with chain. You also can use stimula
tions. (running the feeder for 30 seconds) Ultraflo can do this.
Flat chain cannot.
Breeders and producers agree that being able to add or sub
tract feedings, change feeding times and use stimulations Is a
valuable tool to limit feed consumption and fine tune egg size.
With Ultraflo you can control feed consumption and you won’t
have to keep your house 90° in the middle of winter.
When you watch chain run you will see that It only carries
the feed that is on the top of the chain not what Is along the
sides. This results in a lot of feed separation. Ultraflo moves all
feed. Chain allows birds to high-grade or pick over feed. Ultra
flo’s design and 80 feet per minute speed prevents birds from
high grading feed. Our side by side video shows layers picking
over feed when the chain runs, while when the Ultraflo runs
birds do not eat until the auger stops.
See for yourself! Send for our video showing chain feeders
and Ultraflo running side by side.

Their Claims
9. “With the drag auger, birds turn side
ways to eat...
10. ...requiring more length of feeder."
11. “Drag auger feeder’s frequent feedings
Interrupt birds during peak laying
periods. ”
12. “Now you can feed the entire house
faster with our 120 feet per minute "fast
feed" chain feeder; and you can do It with
no strain on feeder corners because of our
new left hand drive.
13. “The hardest part about repairing a
chain feeder Is remembering where you
left the hammer and chain breaker."
14. “With an auger system, the need for a
welder, torch and grinder Is almost rou
tine. Down time Is up, and repair hours
rise."
15. “With a drag auger feeder, hens fight
for feeding space many times a day caus
ing unwanted activity In the cage...
16. “This results In more cracks and
checks. Drag auger feeders encourage
smaller eggs and more cracks and
checks. ”
17. “Our competitor pushes for a larger
cage. Why ? Because with drag auger feed
ing the birds can’t get enough feed In a 12
Inch cage. With chain feeding a 12 Inch
cage Is ample."
