Bunk / Trough Feed-pad Feeding A chainless balefeeder offers unrivalled versatility for trough or bunk feeding and with the optional side chute attached can handle virtually any height or width of bunk. It minimises feed waste, allows easy access to feed, and its unique teasing action ensures that feed is palatable and easily chewed for maximum goodness. Lightness and a compact footprint mean pasture damage and soil compaction are never an issue. The Hustler Unrolla LM105T Chain Feeder is designed specifically for trough or bunk feeding and is currently the only chain feeder capable of doing the job.

“We have around two hundred head of dairy cows and replacements and we’re feeding youngstock indoors over four foot rails. The Hustler is worth its weight in saving on time and labour compared to manually feeding. It loads itself and is very efficient and very well made, a tough machine only needs greasing, with virtually nothing to go wrong.” Roger Gardiner Oxfordshire, United Kingdom.
