[QUOTE="4T, post: 311354, member: 2023"] I used an old chain with a small chainsaw. Hung the tractor tire from the loader. Took about 1 minute to cut the tire, really quick and slick. My invention was going to be a circular bunk feeder that would use a large tractor or skidder tire that could just fit in one of the hay rings (Just hate to see range or cottonseed meal fall out of mouths of sloppy cows and on the ground as well as equity in feeding all the heads, not just the greedy cows). Previously using hay tubs ringed inside the hay ring. My idea was that when I feed the supplement I could portion out the meal from the center of the hay ring for equal consumption (have about 15 to 18 slots in the hay ring). Currently, I am bringing the feed via my tractor bucket over the center of the hay ring. Eventually, if one was willing to harden a site or sacrifice area, I think I could construct a small gravity flow cone type grain bin elevated in the center of the ring with either a tube for meal flow to the tire ring or perhaps an upside down cone for equal portioning in the ring for greater automation. Anyway, just toying with the idea. My last effort fell short. The tire was not deep enough nor tall enough,,would need at least a six foot tire. [/QUOTE]
