Thanks everyone for the ideas. Andrew Mayflower, Yes, East slopes of the Cascades, out of Yakima......Group,  I had found the TS feeders pictured below and even found a trailer but the lack of jacks are my problem and with the trailer, they are designed to pull and disperse actuating off of a wheel that contacts the trailer tire. Not quite what I need. My feed goes into two barrel feeders so I would need to have a chute to fill a bucket. I feed 50 lbs a day. I'm not opposed to getting something like the TS pictured and welding jack mounts, was just hoping there was already something already out there......Who wants to go into business Anyway, thanks again for all the "weigh ins"...Oh and I'm limited to a 42 hp diesel tractor with a 2000 lb capacity bucket and clamp on forks for handling.

Howdy Folks,

 We have a small farm in WA...In addition to caring for our lambs, ducks, and chickens, I feed our local Elk and deer population once the snow flies. I bring in 50 bales of hay and put out 50lbs of bulk feed each evening along with about 3/4 of a bale of hay. I'm tired of getting my feed in 50 lb bags and do have a local supplier where I can buy bulk, which brings me to my question. A friend once told me "someone" made a bulk hopper that would fit in a full sized pickup bed that had camper jacks, so you could back under it and load it, drive to the feed supplier and back under there silo, fill the hopper/bin and drive home. Once home you could jack it up and pull the truck out leaving the hopper free standing at which point you can draw off of it as required until it's time to take it back in to be filled. I have scoured the net and can't find such a bulk hauler for a pickup. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing and knows where I can get one?? Thanks, TJ
