    Cotton Seed

    What’s the easiest way to fill cotton seed feeders other than using sacks or a pitch fork?

            Use the metal crates from the 275 gallon water totes with the water tote removed. Six of them will fit nicely on a flatbed trailer. Have the cotton gin dump the cotton seed straight into the crates, tarp them off, then go to the ranch. Unload each crate in place with a tractor and pallet forks. No shoveling, no cotton seed feeders to build.

              Grain shovel is what we use. Get the plastic ones not the metal. Metal ones bend and when they do it’s a pain

                How many pounds will each crate hold ?

                      About 1200 pounds per crate.

                        I shovel it into a metal garbage can and then dump the contents into the wire feeder.

                            Working on the idea of building and blower trailer. Would anybody be interested in one?

                              Yup....metal shovel only from the bed into a tote frame...the plastic ones break and wear. Back right up to the tote frame and its a short lift and dump.
