Feeding with AG despenser

[Glaswellt]

Would an AG despenser feed trafford gold or similar along a feed barrie? Around 500kg/day. Thinking of buting one to bed cubicles, just thinking it might have another use!

We tried it on grain and it just pours out but something stilghtly moist or rolled wheat could work. It'd be really difficult to get an even rate tho

We’re doing it with a home-made mix but I wouldn’t recommend it. We’ve had to put limiting plates in it and it does the job, but it’s such an arse we’re looking into alternatives. I don’t know the material you’re working with but if it runs too well you’ll struggle to keep it in and if it doesn’t flow terribly well then the worm-augers tend to lock up and you’ll struggle to get it out!

I,ve used mine a couple of times to feed rolled oats , no problem with it running out or anything like that , the trouble is feathering the loader joystick enough to make it come out slow enough to not over shoot the trough . This would be easily solved by adjusting the flow controller on the AG but then it would be too slow for bedding cubicles , what you would need to do is fit an external flow controller that can be easily adjusted by hand

Augered bucket would be a bit more robust and suit the job I would think. Some of them are quite complex and do mixing and all sorts. Chap I know uses one and gets on well, much cheaper than running a full blown TMR wagon.
