He'll make one towable if you want, I've not seen these in the flesh but most stuff he makes is over engineered like stuff was in the olden days.

They’ve copied the Watson for everything, including the paint… Not that it’s a bad hopper to copy of course.

Whichever you buy, make sure it is wide enough for your loader bucket, the Portequip one isn’t.
And the top isn't strong enough to stop it sagging and water sitting on the top.
And the baffles adjust crudely on little chains, meaning you have to climb in to adjust them. Then climb out again to fetch a hammer to move the baffle, because it is too flexible and allows feed to jam behind it.
But the red paint is pretty.

My experience of mixing pellets and oats is that the beggars will pick out the pellets and spit the oats on the floor.

Portequip make a 10’ hopper too, the same as Watson, so ok for a telehandler bucket.
I bought one on eBay last year, having just priced a new one at near £1300!
Built nearly as strong as my Watson, but I agree on the daft chains inside. Hopefully won’t need adjusting again though.

That looks really good. And it's got extendable legs by the looks of it... wonder if he got inspiration from this beauty

Can't understand why at that price it isn't selling
