HOW IT WORKS... Feed passes through the center inlet in the hood sections onto the trolley and is carried forward by the movement of the trolley pan under the stationary belt. The rack-and-pinion drive for the trolley is simple and dependable. The drive sprocket teeth engage the carriage track for positive no-slip power. The drive is protected by a slip clutch. Double drive tracks are standard on feeders over 150 feet long. OPTIONAL WIND DOWNSPOUTS FOR OUTDOOR FEED BUNKS. The non-powered belt runs at low tension, meaning long life and easy maintenance.
