Eastern Iowa | Mine would be a lot heavier than that, I think, and are bolted rigid rather than with a hinged door. Bolting them up tight contributes to longevity as far as I am concerned. The hook and loop Franklin feeders we used to buy rarely lasted more than a couple years before parts started breaking off. I think it was because they were pegged together loosely.
We can typically dump bales in over the top of these or use hooks I made for the front end loader fork to lift the feeders and set them over the bale. Because they are really heavy and their diameter is a touch smaller than standard, tipping them onto the bale manually is a little tougher.
Bale feeder. They don't waste much, but I always figured it was more dependent on HOW you feed them, than what you feed them with, anyway.
I made these simple hooks for the fork on my front end loader so we wouldn't have to lift and roll the rings around any longer.
Just drive up to the bale ring and lift it. We move the bales around a lot when the cows are out in the cornfields just to spread things around. This comes very much in handy!
