[QUOTE="Pennine Ploughing, post: 5197590, member: 999"] i deliver a lot of feed in the winter, IMHO Collinson and V max are best quality bins, the V max can be a single bin, or a split bin in 2 halfs, with a round bag storage area at the bottom with doors, good for none dairy feeds, if a single bin on its own, then you won't regret buying a Collinson, EB are not as good and don't seem to last as long, the filling pipe up the middle of the bin gives bother, and have seen a few with new pipes put up the outside as inside one is US build a bin, ones are fine for nuts,but not so good for blend as said dust and meal blows out and makes a mess right where you bag off if you do that, best indoor bins i have seen, are a big 5 tonne plus tote bag on a metal frame with own filler pipe, can bag off from them no bother, and when not in use, can be pulled up out of the way if you need the storage below, no other bin can do this, wood bins likes of Simms, are cheap and for a reason, however, if a Steel filler pipe is fitted instead of Osma sewer pipe, and the bin is up on a stand and the bin is away from the weather, then they are not bad, osma sewer pipe is just for that, not bowling feed through, they last about a year on the bend, then they wear out, steel bend would sort it, other thing to consider when putting bin out side, Don't skimp on the concrete it stands on, this not only holds the bin up when full, But also holds bin down when empty, needs a good thickness and weight to hold a bin up in high winds, last thing and most important for the feed driver, don't tie the dog to a bin leg, unless your going to clean the dog sh1te up, as the pipes get covered in it [/QUOTE]
