Square Bale Feeders: The Large-Capacity Marvel for Herd Feeding
If you keep a larger herd of horses in an open stable or on the pasture, small feeding stations are quickly overloaded. This is where the square bale feeder (or rectangular feeder) shows its full strength. Thanks to its rectangular design, it is a real space-saver and easily holds large square bales as well as XXL round bales. With up to 12 feeding places, it offers enough space so that the herd can eat together and relaxed without low-ranking animals being pushed away immediately. Made of solid, hot-dip galvanized steel, this large-capacity feeder easily withstands the enormous pressure of several horses and braves wind and weather for many years.
Maximum Protection Against Feed Loss and Moisture
Wet, soiled hay is not only a financial loss but also a danger to equine health. A square bale feeder safely lifts the bale off the muddy ground. Models with a large, integrated roof additionally protect the hay from rain and snow. Thus, the roughage remains appetizing and dry to the very end. A special roof edge protection prevents the horses from injuring themselves on the metal edges when they throw their heads up.
Horse-Friendly Feed Barriers for Maximum Safety
Square bale feeders are available with different grids. For horses, palisade feed barriers or special safety feed barriers are the only right choice! They allow a natural feeding posture and ensure that the horse can pull its head back easily at any time if startled, without getting caught in the grid.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get the large bale into the square feeder?
Most high-quality square bale feeders have hinged side panels. You can comfortably open one or two side panels and easily lift the square or round bale in with the front loader of the tractor. The side panel is then safely locked again.
Can I use a square feeder without a roof?
If the feeder stands under an already dry shelter, a variant without a roof is sufficient. However, if it stands completely unprotected on the pasture, you should definitely choose a model with a roof to prevent mold growth caused by continuous rain.
Can I move the square bale feeder?
Yes, although these feeders are very massive, they usually have a practical three-point linkage. This allows the empty feeder to be attached to the tractor's hydraulics and easily moved to a new, dry feeding place if the ground around the feeder has become too muddy.
Hot-Dip Galvanized Large Feeders for Paddock and Pasture
Large herds of horses require feeding stations that offer plenty of space and maximum stability. A square bale feeder is the perfect solution for feeding large-volume square or round bales. It drastically reduces hay loss through trampling and ensures that the hay stays dry and clean. Equipped with many feeding places, it also minimizes food envy within the herd.
Our square bale feeders made of completely hot-dip galvanized steel are built for extreme outdoor use. Choose from various models with a protective roof, safe edge protection, and horse-friendly palisade feed barriers.
