    Hi everyone,

    This may be a silly question but can anyone tell me what straights can be pumped into a feed bin? I have an auger at the bottom so it would have to flow through this also

    Thanks

    You could put anything in but the problem is will it come out.

    make sure bin is empty b4 u fill it ,if its going to feeders best to put them filling after the bin is filled , guys on the trucks usually tell u to do it that way

    Thanks
    What can I put in the bin other than processed nuts that I can auger out? Wont be going to feed bins. I want to supplement the feed over the winter as I don't think the silage quality will be the best. I only cut silage a few weeks ago and made round bales. They only got a few hours wilting. There is still effluent flowing from them!!!

    once bin is dry inside anything wheat barley maize meal soya
    If wheat is milled like flour you might have to hit bin with timber post or something to get it to fall down as its so fine it will bridge in bin and if feeding or moving it outside on a windy day you will look like a snowman:D
