DescriptionThe Paton 1.5 tonne Wheeled Feeder is a medium capacity unit designed for young cattle such as calves growing out to young weaners. It features two 2400mm troughs capable of handling 8-10 calves at any one time. It comes with a full anti-rub frame to prevent animal and tractor operator damage. Tow from the silo to the paddock and simply relocate when necessary to minimise pasture damage. These offer the farmer a far more practical solution for herd management and feeding. Remember when the country gets wet, stock pug up around the feeder and can leave quite a mess. When you pick the feeder up behind the tractor and take it to the silo for refilling, you can bring it back and relocate it to a new dry area in the paddock....or to the next paddock if you are about to move stock. Being a wheeled unit, you eliminate the need for a front end loader to shift your feeder and potential damage in transport. This model can be towed behind your ute (if you can acheive enough clearance), or ideally with a tractor and linkage bar to lift and tow. There is also an option to have the wheel/axle position to be under the feeder which will suit utility vehicles. You can nominate the hitch type for these wheeled units, either a tow ball, single tongue swivel, double tongue, or quick hitch tapered (40mm eye on top, 50mm eye on the bottom). Also a rear hitch point allows two wheeled feeders to be attached and towed in tandem. These feeders come with a jack stand to assist in the hitch to fixed height vehicles. The lick door on these feeders is suitable for feeding grain, pellets or heavy chopped and mixed feeds. The specially designed trough and lick door system contain no sharp or rough edges, are soft on the animals mouths and eliminate all waste, allowing your feed to go further. Note: This feeder comes with a standard single tongue hitch unless requested otherwise. 100% Australian made.
