[QUOTE="footballjdtractor, post: 813790, member: 6290"] If you are even thinking about converting to a tractor/mixer setup I would recommend not buying any feeder and putting that money towards the conversion. Dad and I went through the same thing, we always talked about changing over to a mixer wagon but kept putting it off. We finally did and are real glad with the decision. The money that we spent in that feeding room on belt feeders, unloaders, belts, conveyors, and our stationary mixer would have come near to buying the feed bunks. Used horizontal mixers are reasonably priced and you probably already own a tractor that can run it. Speed of feeding is another plus for mixer wagons we are now feeding 300 head in the same time it took us to feed 150. Stop and think about what you want to do in the future before you spend any more money I wish we would have. [/QUOTE]
