Corn Feeder Capacities

[Ramball36]

How far off have you experienced the listed capacity vs. actual capacity of feeders?

[AntlerCollector]

Not very far off at all. Unless it's the 55 gallon type and they were not counting a funnel

[txwhitetail]

+/- 25 lbs either way it seems.

[hog_down]

55 gallon barrel, 85 gallon barrel, or something oddball?

[Ramball36]

I'm talking more like your custom bins by both the big name guys and smaller shop operations.

My 600lb Bighorns both hold 12 bags so pretty spot on.

If I bought a feeder that said 300 pound capacity and it only held 275 I'd be getting a refund.




I have 2 Lamco low and throw feeders. They are dead on with what they say it will hold.

What if a 600lber held 575 or an 800lber held 775?..

corn capacity is different than protein capacity and a lot of feeders are listed as corn capacity.

[Traildust]

What if it's really fat corn.....like gurls from Santa Fe?

I was talking big capacity. Who uses 300 lb feeders anymore???

Do you go back and pay extra if it ends up holding 25lbs extra?

Most of the new ones I have purchased lately have held a little more corn weight than advertised.

Protein normally it will hold less.

[txwhitetail]

The ones that are a little short probably really hold the right capacity if the corn is pushed into the corners/sides and packed in.

Oh well that's ok
I was using a small number so even the East Texas hunters could understand

[Throwin Darts]

My 1000 pound HB held 19 bags.
