Needed to transfer 3100lbs of screenings for deer food into a bin. Made up a box to fit my snowblower, mounted on a pallet. First bag was 1300 lbs, Massey lifted full height with some complaining. Second bag was 1800 lbs, so I had to divide into two, no problem then. Once the assembly was lined up, the transfer went smoothly, took only a few minutes for each bag.

How many deer do you feed at once?
How long does 3100lbs last..couple weeks plus?

It"s just a treat for the wild whitetail in the area. Only do it in the winter. Throw out a couple five gal pails, they pick at it any time day or night. Usually have around a dozen come in, has been as high as twenty one at a time. I don't hunt, just like seeing them come around. Have a seed cleaning outfit about three miles away. The 1300 lbs of peas was $130, the other 1800 was from a quarter of barley, was a freebee, customer didn't want the waste. Should last all next winter.

Great way to move it and a very nice thing to do for the deer. Winter is tough on them.

Gotta like that. That's how I got my 3ph blower. Father inlaw needed to move a bunch of grain so he bought one for the job. Once it was moved he had no use for it so he gave it to me.

They look healthy...little bit can go long way during rough winter.
16 deer most counted at our feeder etc. at one time.

Thanks for sharing.
