OK, so I pull a gravity box wagon of corn with my 1962 560 gasser from the co-op back home...now that should make it legal to put on the Farmall board...and I auger it into my bulk bin then spend the next month using the bin auger to put it into 5 gallon pails to carry around to the various pens of feeder cattle that get shelled corn and pelleted supplement as their main feed.
Well, since we don't feed hogs outside anymore, and I have several of the round galvanized feeders around, I had a wild idea (usually the best kind, right?)
What if I built a really sturdy platform and bolted one of those feeders on it at feedbunk height with the doors wired open in one of my pens of cattle that are on full-feed anyway? Would shell corn feed through it like ground feed does - as long as I open the innards up enough? These are about 80 bushel feeders and by my ciphering that figures out to a BUNCH of 5-gallon pails I wouldn't have to carry...
I am asking for advice because I don't want to fill one of them half full then have to climb inside and scoop it out if it doesn't work. :-)
