Recently picked up a new ranch that has bump gates. I prefer to have my road feeder on the front as I have a basket on the back for game and can still open the tailgate for access to bed. Anyone know of a road feeder that can stand up to bump gates? I see the All Season Hercules road feeders have a curved bar in front of the motor housing but not sure if it sticks out past the actual hopper to protect it.

I have this Lamco feeder that is built well and is low so that you can put in on the back of your truck or UTV and still open the tailgate.
I put it on the back, rack on the front. Having the road feeder on the back makes it a lot easier to load corn from the bed to the feeder and you also don't have all the dust from the feeder blowing in your face.
If you went this route you can hit the bump gates with the rack and have a feeder that allows you to open the tailgate. Win win
The Lamco UTV 100 lb. Road Feeder is designed to fit perfectly on your Ranger, Mule or other utility terrain vehicles. The road feeder fits into the receiver of your UTV and gives you the most ground clearance while still being able to lower your tailgate. Worried about those rough ranch roads? We build this feeder usi

Hey that just might work. Thanks. Would you mind to get a measurement from the top of the 2" tube that slides in the receiver to the top of the feeder just so I can double check the clearance on my truck. Might could even leave the basket in the bed of the truck till needed. We don't shoot critters every hunt but we dang sure sling corn on every one.

Bump gate and friendly DO NOT belong in the same sentence!!!
In actuality if you'll spend some time getting to know the fine art of getting through them without ripping off fenders and knocking out lights, they're not that bad! Don't know that I'd run my road feeder out front though, maybe if I built a pipe cage for it.

Trust me.
