[QUOTE="jt, post: 96641, member: 238"] i saw an interesting idea a while back on hay feeders... the build it yourself type... it was built out of about 2 1/2 " pipe. a rectangle about the width of a bale, 6' or so, and about 20-25' long. enough to hold about 4 rolls. of course i guess you could make em smaller, to hold 2 or 3 rolls if you wanted. pretty simple too. about 3 pipes around it. plenty of room to stick their heads thru. i think it needed a little more blockage at the bottom to keep hay from wasting as bad. without something at the bottom, hay tends to get messy. looks like one could take that idea and put some sucker rods around the bottom and have a decent hay feeder... of course you would have to have a front end loader to move it. another thing... the only parts of it touching the ground was the legs. design it so you could change out the bottom 6-10" of the legs and that thing could last a long, long time. jt [/QUOTE]
