DescriptionThe Paton 1 tonne Feeder is the ideal grain feeder designed perfectly for sheep and a variety of other small animals including goats and pigs. Small and versatile, yet with a sizeable 1 tonne capacity. This is one of our most popular models. Featuring two 2400mm troughs, capable of handling 16 ewes feeding at any given time, means that 150 animals can be fed per feeder unit. The simple lick doors are easy to adjust, and once set to suit the feed type and flow, usually require no further adjustment. These are suitable for feeding grain, pellets or heavy chopped and mixed feeds if required, all depending on the door opening setting. The specially designed trough and adjustable lick door system contain no sharp or rough edges, are soft on the animals mouths. The lick doors can be shut down to only allow several grains at a time to be drawn into the animals mouth. The wet tongue of the animals acts as a blotter to draw up the grain into their mouth. The restriction plate at the back of the trough makes mouth access to the feed very limited meaning only their tongues can draw feed up. This means saliva runs out and animals move off to drink after a short visit. A strong sub-frame provides the ideal lifting platform for your tractor forks or simply attach a chain to the tow point and shift with your utility or ATV.
