      take a gallon jug of milk .. empty of course ... fill it with corn ... weight it .. then multiply ! that will get you the correct answer ...

      if you just want to ball park it so you know how much corn to buy ... around 10 bags would theoretically fill it , so buy 9 and mark how high it filled it up .. then you know for next time ...

        I'm hoping to find a used one I can refurbish. They are obviously proud of the new ones....

        I have a feed project for my new pig place and I'd like a little more capacity but not times the cost capacity..

          I have one more drum, I was thinking about making another feeder though.

              I have never seen one. Well, I guess I never asked or noticed if they were 85ers.

              How much are they new?

              For the extra poundage you can get in one it might be worth it in the long run. Our 55 barrels with funnels hold #300 +/-. So if these with funnels hold #500+/- that's another 3 weeks between 3 hour drives!

                No funnel.

                  Here ya go...hard to find refurbished 85gal barrels and new ones are pricey that's for sure.
