Steel bin hands down, no comparison. Sunlight will eat away at a poly bin overtime and make it brittle and crack. Not sure how long you plan on keeping the bin, but the a good used schuld bin is practically the same price as a new schuld bin. Poly bins do not hold a good resale value in my opinion.


I went from steel to poly and wouldn’t go back. My steel bins sweated and feed would stick to the sides poly gets a full clean out every time without poking it down and as the other poster stated I can look and see how much I have every time I pull in the driveway. As far as resale I’m not sure where that factors in. I’ve never put in a feed bin with any intention of selling it.




Everyone has different opinions and that's fine. If I was getting bulk mineral with heavy salt load in it, I would put that in a poly bin. As far as my resale comment, last fall I found a 20 ton Schuld bin that was 20 years old. Spent the last 10 years on it's life laying sideways on the ground. I priced a new 20 ton Schuld bin with an auger and it was something like $1,200-$1,500 more but delivery and setup is included in the price. Again, just my opinions and I'm not trying to make hard feelings.
