looks like about 1800#..... hope my math is right.


I did

40*40*52= 83200 cubic inches

83200ci= 360 gallons

360g/5g =72gallons

72gallons*25#corn=1800#corn

1800#corn= $300 per fill up


hope u made that thing strong, nearly a ton of weight in it


( if my math is wrong, dont tell me, just let me feel smart for a little while)

Take out a loan to fill that thing, lol.

Funny chit right there.

i called a grain elevator co. to buy bulk corn last wk.. a ton cost's 300 thats a big bag o'corn

I agree with the others I wouldn't want to Climb up & Down Filling it up!! But it is a Nice feeder Nice job 8point!!

Meet in the middle and say 850 LBS

I did some similar calculations and compared to a 55 gal drum. The volume is 5 times more than the 55 gal drum. So, 1500lbs+ sounds right.

I just hope your feeder legs will hold up to that much weight.

Ok guys here you go this feeder is 40 x 40 x 42 just the box & the hopper is 10" tall. The hopper held 175lbs we put another 475lbs in the box a total of 650 lbs the box was filled to about 8" from the diamond point in the side panel so that leaves 29" to be filled I did the math it should hold 1700 lbs if I'm right but I do need to go back to the drawing board on design the top held up good but a little more leg size & some more bracing would make me feel alot better having that much weight in the air BTW I will have to take that loan out when we take the new & improve feeder out will post pics as soon as possible

How much will it hold? The answer is ENOUGH.

Very nice

To damn much!

He still has not filled it all the way up.

To damn much I couldn't afford to keep it full.
