there was a thread on here a while back where someone built a corn transfer using a leaf blower, trash can and large PVC pipe ... not having any luck finding that thread ... maybe someone has a link to it?

How much are you saving by buying in bulk instead of 50lb sacks? Seems to be about a 25% cost savings per pound.

But you would have to find an easy way for me to move it from the back of my truck into the feeders. How much does each sack weigh?

Rancher doesn’t want us bringing our tractor to lift em and fill looking for alternatives thanks. So the rancher doesn't drive a tractor or truck on his own place?? Stupid rule unless I'm missing something.

Stupid rule unless I'm missing something. He drives a tractor all over it. It is a dumb rule but not his property his rules. He says a 2,000 lb sack in the air is a safety hazard he doesn’t want on his property.

We are looking at being able to just pick them up on a trailer and now using a vacuum grain transfer system. No lifting involved as we can get the trailer to each feeder easy enough.

I’m not sure of any inexpensive way to do so. There are the auger and or blower rigs.
