Hogg feeders

[Ewe2]

I’m toying with the idea of getting a Hogg feeder. Which is the best one, from the Walter Watson and the Portequip?

10’ Portequip quoted at £775 and holds 750kg.
10’ Watson quoted at £865 and holds 1250kg.

Both local delivered prices.

Look up Caegwyn Farm Supplies on FB. Watson were just under £800 delivered from them in September. They were £100 cheaper than our local dealer.

Agreed me and my brother share a 16ft tri axle bought new in 2012 just had its first 6 tyres so it doesn’t get that much use but it has moved everything from garden sheds to hot tubs to hay and straw, roof trusses, tractors, fertiliser, mini diggers, neighbours cow that had gone down ratchet strapped flat to the bed on its side etc etc etc.

Me and my brother share this one I bought it but he uses it I was in a bind today though and he got me out of it cheers @piper80

You had a price on one yet?

For what they are i think these Hogg feeders are just dear enough.

If you buy oats for hoggs make sure you buy some decent fat oats not those skinny things that are narrow too much husk in them and nowt else.

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.

What sort of money are them? I normaly find out the price and then make one when it’s dark on a night

They look good but it would save many a phone call if people would just put the price on these adverts!!! I probably can’t afford one, let alone ten so just put the price on and save everybody a phone call!!

Suppose that isn't very easy with fluctuations in steel prices, which is usually an increase these last few years although things have dropped recently.

If you have to ask the price you can't afford it
