Ive been looking at this on the grant scheme. A maximum mixing capacity of 3000L is absolutely tiny, so small that im yet to find a manufacturer that makes one. Am i missing something here or is this a typo?​

Just written to make it look like a good thing.

What should max capacity read? 30,000 litres?
i was thinking they put maximum when they meant minimum. But i could be very wrong, it maybe some specialist sheep feeding device. i have found a couple of very small feeders but they wouldn't take a bale(unless out of small bales) and they tend not to have a weigh scale.

A lot of the items have wording that makes them unattainable unfortunately. It always sounds good but is pitched just out of reach.
 
Think is, if you make a typo in your claim form they will most likely reject it....
Welsh Grant scheme a few years ago people were throwing tantrums because the fuel station grant was only on 1250litre ones . What they meant was ,that was the size they were paying for,if you want bigger you pay the extra
