[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 165929, member: 1715"] We used a solid (more or less) bottom one winter. The stuff that fell into the bottom would just rot when it rained, and [b]that[/b] winter in rained a bunch. Never much but a little every few days. dun[/quote] I can see where the "drain holes" in a solid bottom feeder wagon would plug up quickly. I have had hay rot in the solid skirted rings too. The lowest labor system I have seen for winter feeding is to spot the bales in rows during the fall and then move the rings. I buy hay a couple miles away so putting a couple bales into a pipe bottom feed wagon and then dropping it into the pasture sounds simplier than load and unload and then move the rings... Any other low capital ideas for hauling 2 to 8 miles and then feeding :?: I have not tried unrolling thinking it would result in a lot of waste. [/QUOTE]
