[QUOTE="blacksnake, post: 1097994, member: 566"] I have one of the poly ring type. It's about 8 years old, had to replace a couple of the stainless steel bolts that hold the rings to the uprights. Very durable but there is a LOT of waste with this type of feeder. I modified it somewhat by adding vertical 2x4's about a foot apart between the bottom rings. That helped but still quite a bit of waste. I made a feeder out of 3/4" rebar that is slanted and welded to 3x3 angle iron at top and bottom. Bottom angle iron is drilled and bolted to 12 ft 4x6 pressure treated posts so I can pull to different spots in the pasture. Works pretty good, still some waste but much better that any ring I have used. I want to add hay saver bars inside that have about 6" spacings but haven't got around to it yet. Something similar to the hay savers that Kleine has on theirs. I came across quite a bit of stainless steel piping and square tubing and want to make one out of that once I improve on the one I have now. [/QUOTE]
