[QUOTE="Limepro, post: 1208949, member: 17660"] I have 8 of them they are by far the best salt feeder I have tried. I'll do my best to explain why. The good 1.They do stay very dry inside. 2. They come with hardware that once installed allow me to back my gator to them and hook a 4 foot cable to an eye. Once connected I can easily drag them anywhere even if they are full of salt. They require a drill that can handle cutting a radial tire to install the eye in the tire. We use rotational grazing so this really helps a lot. I can usually move one in 5 minutes without lifting anything, by the way they hold 250 lbs of salt. For me this is the best reason to own one. 3. They are bull proof.... The tire leverages the salt feeder against the ground making it virtually impossible for them to turn over. They will slide across the ground way before they flip over. Just don't back over one of them with a track hoe, that didn't work out so we'll. 4. My local truck stop loves to save the dump fee on old worn out 24" tires so that part is free. Now for the bad and ugly This company has a great product that might cost them 20 bucks to mold package and ship and they retail for $165.00 -$ 180.00 It's a lot of money but i still buy them because I can't find anything that comes close to working as we'll. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
