DH Farm Bale Feeder on Skids | Length 12' | Width 80" | 30–50 HP | For Tractors
DESCRIPTION
The DH 12 ft Bale Feeder on Skids is a durable, skid‑mounted feeder designed to reduce hay waste and improve feeding efficiency for cattle operations. Built with a rugged 12‑gauge steel floor and weighing approximately 1,500 lbs, this feeder is engineered for long service life in tough farm conditions.
Its 12‑foot length makes it ideal for medium‑sized herds, while the skid design allows easy repositioning in pastures or feeding areas. With an 80″ wide frame (center to center of top rails), 44″ depth from top rail to floor, and a 10.5″ bottom pan depth, it provides ample feeding space. For relocation, the feeder requires approximately 30–50 horsepower from a tractor or towing vehicle.
