[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 1550438, member: 2383"] Pretty much covered it. I can flip them up with one hand and roll them, easier on my back. Plus I can slam into them with the bale trucks and not hurt them, and picking them up with the arms to carry them to another farm doesn't distort them permanently like a steel feeder. I still have 2 steel feeders in service that I bought 22 years ago, but barely. The ones I've bought in the last 10 years are lucky if they make it 5 years anymore. On a typical year I only use feeders during the shoulder seasons when the cows aren't eating much hay, so they spend more time sitting empty than in use. With all of the rain this year (65" at my house from May thru Dec) I've been using the feeders more than usual. Century sells a kit that adds more vertical uprights and closes in the bottom section with a skirt, should help with hay conservation. Would be interested in knowing what they cost, but all of the local distributors give me a blank stare when I ask about them. [/QUOTE]
