[QUOTE="dun, post: 31331, member: 34"] Bulk is $1.00 per cwt less then bagged. For 3 tons they deliver for free. All of the mills around here run the same except some require 4 tons to deliver free, but they're 20 miles further away. Since you also asked about bulk hoppers I'll throw this in. How are you planning on filling your feeder? If your bulk hopper is high enough that you can just gravity it into the feeder, insure that your feed mill can fill a hopper that high. Ours is 6 ton and the dumper is almost on the ground. A five gallon bucket won't fit under it without cutting a couple of inches off the top. The mills around here have a hard time getting high enough with tha auger and still get an angle that they can get the stuff into the hopper. We alwasy end up having to fasten somekind of adapter to direct the feed down instead of straight out when they get raised high enough. Used wagons aren't all that expensive (around here) and most will hold a couple of tons. Just more rambling thoughts. dun [/QUOTE]
