Hi everyone, here is a quick video on how to build a cheap bulk bin for storing grain and feed for your animals. Thank you for watching and God Bless!!!
Get a sheet of flat thin gauge metal fasten it a cone. Could also cut the side of unused ibc tote. Weld, bolt or use sheet rock screws into 2x2 piece of wood to hold shape.
How did you funnel work out. Looking for something to use a funnel, but not finding cheap options. Grain elevators are set up for loading and unloading semis and don't have an auger, etc. to run into the hole on top of the tote. Anyone else come up with cheap funnel ideas that work?
Hi Jack, I ended up cutting a square hole on top around 16"x16". I only cut 3 sides to make a flap. Worked really good. I drywall screwed some 1x wood to seal it up and put a big of truck bed liner on top to keep it dry. Worked out good 👍
I tried something like this but I didn't use the gate; I was using a drill to auger it out the stock liquid opening (did not work too well). When it gets toward the end, do you tilt it up? Would like to know how you manage that. Thank you!
Hi Alex, it works out pretty good for a cheap alternative to a grain bin. I used my skidsteer and strapped it to the forks when it was almost empty and tilted it to get last of the feed out. Hope this helps. I thought about the drill and auger idea but I go through 4-5 buckets of feed a day and decided to go this route.
@@Plesonsfarms I go through about the same amount, I'm going to try this. I think this is a great alternative for anyone who can't afford a grain silo, and is tired of dealing with feed bags.
@@alext4196 it is definitely an affordable option. You should be able to save quite a bit of money buying your feed in bulk locally and it is much better quality usually

I have plenty of IBC totes but need something like this. Would you be willing/able to make 2-3 of them for a fee?

Do u think it would work with cattle cubs in there
I don't know what those are. It works great for chicken feed!
