[QUOTE="meath suckler man, post: 6253084, member: 129210"] We have been using tmr for the last few years, its a fairly simple set up. I use it to finish cattle and to feed a balanced diet to sucklers and weanlings. What we did was to build a shed beside the silage pits and all straights and feed are tipped in them and stored with movable concrete walls. We have three roller doors on the front so it secure from pests. We feed high dm bales and maize silage. The shed means we have great flexibility as the shed can be used to store stuff, and we also use it as a calving shed in spring. another benefit of the she dis you can smaller quantities of products as an when needed. I fed a nice bit of palm kernel last summer as our ground is very dry and we didnt have a blade of grass for 10 weeks. Your right on molasses, stainless would be better, but there are lots of mild steel tanks also. I bought a used milk tanker chassis and tank for 1500 quid, I removed the tank and have it mounted on a steel frame under which I store the agri diesel tank. A good friend of mine has molasses in a 3000l potable water tank on an earthen bank with a 3" hose. Key to the whole operation in my opinion is using a grab bucket, so i never have to change implements. We dont have fancy machinery, main tractor is a 100hp deutz with loader with a jd 3040 on the wagon. The feeder wagon is on its last legs and i have been offered a 12 cube abbey from a neighbour that sin great nick. [/QUOTE]
