Quad-X: Stock feeder makes feeding sheep hassle-free
Published on February 2, 2011
The Quad-X Stock Feeder takes the hassle out of feeding; no more hauling bags of feed around your farm and no need for troughs. The hopper has a capacity of 350kg allowing you to feed your entire stock in just one fill, saving valuable time. The ground driven Quad-X Stock Feeder distributes feed in piles 6ft apart and allows you to adjust the feed rations from 0.5-2.0kg. With feed distributed in spaced out piles, stock stand head-to-head and so there is less trampling and fouling in the feed, meaning less valuable meal is wasted. When used to feed sheep that are in-lamb, the Stock Feeder helps to save foetal loss in ewes since it does away with the crowding and shoving at the trough and ensures each animal gets a fair chance at the feed. The Quad-X Stock Feeder fits any ATV, jeep or towing vehicle, making it a welcome option for any farm or smallholding. Attached to an ATV, it can be operated while seated allowing the flow rate to be controlled. With off-road flotation tyres, the Quad-X Stock Feeder is suitable for most ground conditions even when full. The hopper has a galvanised finish to ensure long life and durability. For use in wet weather it also comes with a wooden cover or optional tarpaulin cover to keep feed dry. Users have also found the Quad-X Stock Feeder extremely useful to transport feed to creep feeders, rearing units and horse boxes. For smaller farms, it allows feed to be stored and protected from vermin while still being portable. Northern Ireland-based Quad-X has been designing and manufacturing cutting-edge ATV accessories for more than 18 years, and now offers a range of almost 100 attachments.
