Getting rid of the diet feeder?

[Holsteinfriesian90]

2nd hand Teagle tomahawk bought today to replace the mixer wagon which goes at the weekend.

One man and one tractor will feed 180 cows this winter. Nice

Have you got a reserve on it or will it go whatever?

 

[Rossymons]

There's a reserve on it. I'm not making things easy for Body

Loading with same tractor as feeding out with?

Or do you have a telehandler as well to fill with?

 

[Rossymons]

We have 2 loader tractors but we have 2 off sites where we keep our heifers. One tractor can go off and do that - the other stays behind to feed up. With a mixer wagon I need both at the main farm together at the same time. Not no more.

Brilliant and true answer!

You wouldn't expect any less brilliant or true answer from me would you ?

Currently just using a feeder wagon and loader tractor to feed 160 milkers, some bugger nicked my other tractor to go ploughing.

Did you sell the wagon today?

 

[Rossymons]

Dunno, didn't get there in the end. I had a reserve on it so it either well or wasn't given away.

Mixer wagon didn't sell. Going to bring it home and use it. Plan for life without next year when I haven't got a mix of round bales, clamped grass and maize.

If its not eating anything, park it under the shed, you never know when you might want to return to the dark side of feeding cows

Surprisingly common going back to wagon feeding

I stopped about three years ago, but kept the wagon. We use it fortnightly to mix up some rolled barley and straights for the youngstock. It's more use to me than selling for a few thou. Keeping it stored dry is the only downside.

Better the devil you know.

We have 3 x 100ft of feed face - i just need something to put forage in a straight line for the cows to eat it. If its the mixer wagon so be it, if its something else than thats fine too.

Green wagons are all the rage again.

The local beef farmer in Polzeath seems to have taken a shine to a Keenan.

Popular green wagons over here are Sam wagons... same design since ages ago.

Go South out of Christchurch on 1 heading for Ashburton. Then just after Rakaia Island there's a yard on the right hand side of the road with loads of new keenans in.
