Currently feeding cereal blend out using bags (housed cattle, feed passage, into troughs). 330kg/day, twice a day feeding. Getting tired of filling and lifting 20/25kg bags.
We have an auger bucket on farm which goes in front of telehandler.
Is it possible with the auger bucket to have a method of weighing what we feed out, which will give me the required accuracy. I just want to be able to know when I've lightened the load by say 45kg after I've fed a bunch of 30 heifers 1.5kg each in a morning feed
Weigh cells?
Oil pressure based weighlog type device.
Or some sort of mechanical metering out device? And I know how much each delivered segment weighs.
All good ideas appreciated!
Or anyone doing this successfully?
