They are the 7.5ton Tristor ( but really 6.5ton of nuts is about their capacity)
Two smaller 7.5tons bins are more expensive than a big 15tonner but if you need different feeds they are more flexible. Our supplier has a discounted rate at 8ton and over ( also 15ton also I think)

What are the options for filling a feeder wagon from a bin, I have a 5 ton bin but it's for bagging only. It's the one thays enclosed right to the bottom. Or maybe I should try and sell it and buy a bigger one on a gantry

One of ours has an auger out of the bottom, sticks out at 45degrees for filling a diet feeder. It’s on a remote fob in the tractor so just back under and press fob, fill what you need and away you go, all in the dry👍

That would work if noone caught the auger,must take a fresh look at it tomorrow to see what side auger could go at
