poly feed bins?

Fordfarmer · Feb 14, 2012

Neighbor is selling a bunch of stuff on Craigslist, including a 4-ton capacity poly feed bin. (northern WI CL - search for Ladysmith if you want to see the ad) Was thinking it might be nice to upgrade my Dad's 2-ton steel bin, since he's raising twice as many steers now as when he got the 2-ton. But I was wondering how good they are... seems like I heard stories of spoiled feed in them because of condensation? Anyone here have any firsthand experience with them? Thanks.

not any worse than steel unit,only real advantage you can see your feed level which i like

I'd like that too... save a lot of trips up the ladder!

Won't rust or get dented if you smack it to get some feed out.

I have several and I like them much better than the steel ones. I have not ever had any condensation problems. They also are more water tight that the steel ones. I like being able to see the feed level too. Just be careful hitting them when they are cold. I have one with a hole in it because my son hit it too hard when it was zero.
