The division panel means different feeds can be fed from each side. This is ideal when supplementing mature stock a small ration from one side of the feeder and creep feeding their offspring a higher ration from the other.

• All 3IN1FEEDERS have two troughs.
• The trough is sloped at 45 degrees. This allows all types of feeds to flow from the feeder until it is completely empty.
• There is a 90mm outlet from the hopper into the trough. This allows coarse feeds to be used in 3IN1FEEDERS.

Draining holes in trough

The troughs have 2 holes in each end of them. This allows any moisture to fall out.

Gutters

The side panels are designed with a small gutter in the bottom of the panel. This ensures that any rain that does hit this panel will drain to one end and not foul all the feed in the licking area.

Rain guard area

Rain is required to fall on greater than a 45 degree angle to fall into the feed access area on 3IN1FEEDERS. If the adjustment is set correctly, regardless of a large or small ration being fed, the trough is clean and any rain that falls in this will drain out.

Hot gal dipped SHS

The skids on feeders generally take the brunt of exterior conditions. All SHS components on 3IN1FEEDERS are hot dip galvanised. These parts have tripled the lifespan when compared to painted products.

Zinc coated sheet metal

The sheet metal has a thick zinc coating. This ensures longevity of product so the investment in purchasing the products pays off over more years than other products.

Stainless steel components

• Stainless steel nuts, bolts and washers
• The fasteners that are required to hold the adjusting parts in location are stainless steel. This ensures that the functioning of 3IN1FEEDERS will continue for the life of the product.

The tek screws that fasten the skids to the body work can be taken out and put back in with the skid at a different height. The 1800 and 3800 3IN1FEEDERS come with 2 separate centre braces under the trough. One is for cattle and the other is for sheep height. This brace needs to be changed when changing the height. The 800 has no centre support so you only need to remove the tek screws, change the skid height and refasten the tek screws. This flexibility ensures that 3IN1FEEDERS can be utilised in more situations on mixed farming enterprises.

There are many variables to the number of stock that can be put on a feeder. The main consideration is the other sources of feed available in their field.

If stock are totally reliant on the feeders, they will visit the feeder more often. As a general indication, the feeders are suitable for the following quantities of stock:

The volume scale allows farmers to accurately record feed outflow. If the feed outflow is too fast then a slight adjustment can be made to the adjusters to slow the outflow and vice versa. This allows changes to be made to outflow sooner than if the whole hopper was consumed so excess grain isn’t consumed, therefore feed savings can be made.

The roof pivots from an off-centre position. It is very easy to maneuver. When the lid is open the feeder can be completely filled. The roof design also provided a sturdy structure so it won’t flap in the wind. All roofs provide full protection so the feed cannot get wet and birds cannot get into the hopper.

The 3800 has 4 sight glasses and the 1800 and 800 have 2 sight glasses. These make it easy to judge the amount of feed left in the hopper without having to look inside.

Lifting:

The Lift Frame allows the 3800 to be moved with 2000kg. It consists of 4 parts: 2 beams that run the length of the trough and 2 guiding parts that are perpendicular to the trough. The beams are made from 3mm pressed plates and are approximately 160mm high.

Skidding:

The Skids are made with 3mm plates welded in the corners. They have a safety fold on the protruding edge to be safe for stock. The 800 can be skidded full, but the 1800 and 3800 can only be skidded with up to 1000kg in them.

Safety: Tine guides

All 3IN1FEEDERS have guiding parts to suit Front End Loader tines to ensure the feeders don’t slide during transportation. The 3800 and 1800 have 2 channels that are fixed perpendicular to the trough. The 800 has guiding parts at one end of the feeder.

3IN1FEEDERS are able to be bulk loaded. This enables farmers to save on manual labour and reduce the time required to manage their farm.

These feeders can easily be filled with augers, chaser bins, bulka-bags, FEL buckets, etc.
