Has anyone splashed out on one of these? Look expensive but then so do crappy ring feeders that waste half that’s put in them. Opinions on build quality, use etc appreciated for baled silage for cattle 250kg+

Often think the top third of sheep ring feeders should be sheeted similar to the bottom bit.
Would stop them using the bottom bit only for a step.

If the link worked..I’ve got a couple like the above. Still found too much waste with whole bales but in recent years use a hustler to unroll one bale into several feeders and it works well.
Noticed the op is on about cows though and can’t comment on that feeder.
