Western Ontario
I’d have to dig it out to get a picture but 20 years ago we made a v box set up that would hold about a thousand pounds of grain mix that went on a frame we picked up with the 3 point hitch arms on the tractor, it had an old auger that came out the bottom ran by a hydraulic motor. Made the box about the same as our squeeze chute (2-1/2’ x 7’) and that way could use the scales under the squeeze under this box to know how much we were feeding, worked pretty slick for a setup like yours and was also good to just dump underneath a single strand of electric for grass yearlings to get them coming a week or so prior to shipping, probably could build it for $500 bucks if you have a research and development center out behind an old shed like we do. I’ll maybe see if i could get a pic.
