Three years ago I bought a Priefert Tombstone feeder for around $240 that I really liked. It worked perfectly and I thought at the time I bought it, that it was a good one. It was the most expensive one that they had.
Tombstone Feeder
Last year it started falling apart. I used the smallest welding rod that I had and sort of put it back together. Now it's so rusted out that there is no hope for fixing it. After just three years, I'm a bit surprised at how quickly if failed. The tubing is very thin wall, and the paint is probably the bare minimum. So that was a waste of money that I will not repeat.
I have horses and I like the design so they can get to the hay, but it keeps them from walking all over it.
I need to find something else, but in just looking online at the different stores in my area, they all sell basically the same thing. I haven't gone in person to look yet, but will this weekend. My next option is to drive around to different feed stores and see if they have anything there that might be heavy duty. There is also an ad on Craigslist for a guy that builds them, but they look kind of flimsy from the pictures posted. I might go look at them in person to be sure.
Who has a really good, heavy duty round bale hay ring for horses and where did you get it?
Can you post a picture or a link to what a really good hay ring for horses looks like?
Thanks!!!
