Farm Project; Build a Hobby Farm Hay Feeder Out of an IBC

[@douglasnielsen4312]

The best one I've seen by far! You nailed it Dude! 👊 I've got the problem, got a tote, and now, a solution. Thank you Sir!

[@haleavafarm]

seen your video to day and said yep I am making one!!! goats arrive Sunday!! Thank You..

[@tonycortese2165]

Your a talented man Mr Timmo Tommo. Thats the perfect feeder

[@FarmLearningTim]

Cheers mate.... Or should I say TonyWony 😂

[@tonycortese2165]

Haha love it. Thanks for all the knowledge

My husband and I have been looking for ideas to make a feeder. Prices have skyrocketed for everything. We considered making one out of wood, but I don't want to have to rebuild it any time soon. This idea was perfect. I just watched a video prior to yours of doing the same thing. Weather protection and a catch at the bottom for loose hay were not considered. These were the factors that I made my decision on as to which I would build. Yours definitely took the cake with these particular additions. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@craby3843]

I built one of these for my dorper sheep after watching this very informative video. The issue I have found is that the older sheep can get their heads stuck inside the IBC cage. We've only had it out in the paddock for a day and the ram was stuck fast and had to be freed, and the following day we had 2 young wethers stuck in the same hole, resulting in one being killed. I'm going to use gate mesh to close down the cage gaps to stop them being able to push their heads in, and only making the ends of the V shaped funnel and the tray below accessible. Other than this, its a cheap and great way to feed the sheep and it definitely worked. I'll just make it a bit safer for my sheep breed.

[@FarmLearningTim]

Great feedback. Thanks

I'm only 2 minutes in and just cracked up laughing at the motorbike comment

I have to say I wish I could of seen this idea 20 years ago, I’m putting legs of a trampoline on mine… 🤩🤩🤩🤓

[@nccountrygal41]

I’ve seen several videos of this but yours is the best method. The way you modified is safer than most for livestock! We have access to many so will be putting them to good use. Thx for the great video!

[@FarmLearningTim]

Thanks for that!

[@neriksen]

You should use the corner off cut pieces to finish off the V … it provides a rounded edge rather than any sharp edges. And yes I have a couple of these ripper feeders. The girls love em and the Llama gets his treats on the roof where the girls can’t reach. Can’t recommend enough to anyone thinking just do it.

[@SunnybraeCroft]

The mother-in-laws transport and Hair dryer in one episode, impressive. Brilliant idea though

[@rrich8371]

" Mother in Law's Motorbike"... I'm guessing she doesn't watch your vids... or she is got a great sense of humor! Reuse and repurpose... cornerstones of ranchers and farmers. Great Vid... AGAIN... Mr. Thompson.

[@FarmLearningTim]

She’s a lovely lady actually. Can’t remember where I heard that one......

[@rrich8371]

@@FarmLearningTim Your a lucky man Mr. Thompson, as am I. Also did you really think your eternally curious sheep would stop knocking over your video cam if you told it "don't"? Hahaha... It's like telling my jughead calf not to poke it's head through the wire fence and bend over the T posts... teenagers... Whaddya going to do. 😁

[@bradmoor9042]

Just built ours, cracking idea. We used old poly pipe to cover the edges instead of bending the plastic.

[@andrewedwards4353]

Just saw you on Landline. Great idea, this weekends project for my goats. Love the vid, I have some binge watching to do now. Thanks Tim

Love this idea great idea

[@sheilasmith1109]

Tim! You are such a genius! This is a beautiful and remarkable repurposing useful feeder invention! I’m sending this off to everyone I know with sheep, goats and miniature horses! What can you repurpose/recycle for horses? Saddle horses and Percheron Draft horses? 😍😎🤩 thanks again Tim!

[@darrenwirth9268]

Thanks for the video

[@VK-qo1gm]

What a brilliant & useful idea, Have a few food grade ones stored, which can now be repurposed Thanks Tim for your excellent videos

[@AndrewSavy]

Yet another great video. 10 minutes of my time well spent. 👍 I'll be making a couple of these for when I get stock in. A lot of fencing to be done before then though.

[@nikhilmulay]

Just what I was looking for this very fine morning! Now I need to look around for some discarded IBCs...

[@almostevil66]

Love it, I would have probably used some split black poly over the sharp edges of the cage, otherwise I'm going to make one just like this, thanks for sharing 👍

[@williamwelch7]

Thanks Tim, great project!

[@Gravattack]

Brilliant Tim. I will be doing a couple of these quick smart

[@mikeboudrie6585]

This is brilliant thanks Tim. I’ve got one of these sitting in the shed looking forward a purpose 👍

[@sheilasmith1109]

Jeez Tim! That’s the most HUMONGOUS sheep I’ve ever seen! What is it??!!

[@FarmLearningTim]

Romney. And VERY pregnant. 110kg

[@sheilasmith1109]

@@FarmLearningTim 😂 Not familiar with that breed! Amazing! Thanks for another great video, mate! Please move to Minnesota!🥰

[@Vee-zx6eh]

What a great idea! We have some of those lying around the farm. Think we will turn them into sheep hay feeders. Thanks Tim!

[@Sophie-dj3bo]

I am so glad I stumbled across this video! Do you have a DIY idea similar to this one that can be used to hold a full round bale while in pasture

[@FarmLearningTim]

There are a stack of round bale feeder rings on the market but I am yet to see a diy hack…. I’ll keep my eyes open

[@PapaRug.58]

Laughed my ass off at the comment “mother in laws motorbike “

[@jamilazeem878]

I make these for about $30 sell em for 150 its honest work

[@FarmLearningTim]

And so you should mate. Well done

And maybe up cycling some wheelchair wheels (removable just for transporting it around daily… just a thought🤔🤔🤔

Tim, you are kinda on the right track. When you start getting into Biodynamic applications, then you'll really start getting somewhere.

awesome job and awesome vid

[@johnboyce6044]

Hi Tim, Maybe you could have used the 'corners' you cut out in the first step in the bottom of the V.

[@FarmLearningTim]

I’ve got another project lined up for them. Wrong angle and no oxy

[@countrywideag-steve275]

great job mate

Thanks mate!

Great video! Subscribed!

maybe drill a lot of holes in the base to let water drain -

[@FarmLearningTim]

That’s why I removed the valve.

Ya should have used a flame thrower instead of a heat gun! Great video!

Great idea! Wonder if Elon Musk has any left?
