Benefits of a Truck-Mounted Cattle Feed Dispenser
A truck-mounted cube feeder offers numerous benefits for farmers and ranchers. One of the primary advantages is the ability to dispense feed supplements, such as whole grain, range cubes, and feed pellets, efficiently and effectively. This can lead to significant bulk silage transportation savings, as well as reduced labor costs. The dispensers are also designed to minimize feed waste by reducing spillage and ensuring accurate ration delivery.
Compared to traditional silos, which are valued for their cost-effectiveness, nutrient preservation, and customizable capacity in crop storage, truck-mounted feed dispensers offer greater flexibility and mobility for feed delivery directly to livestock. With durable construction, they provide reliable, trouble free performance even under demanding conditions.
Additionally, truck-mounted feed dispensers can dispense hog feed, poultry feed, and other livestock rations with equal satisfaction, making them a versatile and convenient solution for various farming and ranching operations.
Getting to Grips with Truck Feed Dispensers
Picture this: a dawn-to-dusk feeding routine that’s free from labor-intensive chores and unnecessary headaches. Cube feeders are designed for easy loading, featuring wide tubs and low loading heights that make filling them quick and effortless. That’s exactly what truck-mounted feed dispensers offer – a chance to rebalance your workload and take your operation to the next level.
Hauling large amounts of livestock rations just got a whole lot easier with mobile feeders that efficiently dispense various types of feed, including hog and poultry feed, directly from your truck bed. These dispensers are built to be accessible for operators, with a lift handle and controls that are easy to reach from the ground, ensuring user-friendly and safe operation by allowing the lid to be opened easily from ground level. The opening mechanism of the feed dispenser is simple to use, allowing for smooth and efficient access to the feed for both manual and automated systems.
The days of slaving away over manual feeding are numbered. With automated feed dispensers, livestock managers can bank on unfaltering consistency and a healthier bottom line.
Types of Mobile Feed Dispensers for Trucks
Choosing the right feed dispenser for your needs starts with understanding the available options. Whether dealing with compact pellets, free-flowing grains, or heavy silage, the right dispenser makes all the difference. Filling these dispensers is straightforward, with easy access points designed for efficient and accurate filling to ensure consistent feed delivery.
Three common types – auger, gravity-flow, and conveyor belt dispensers – each offer distinct benefits for smooth feed management. What are your dietary needs? Knowing the answer will point you in the right direction when it’s time to decide what to fuel up on.
- Auger Dispensers : Use a rotating screw mechanism to move feed from the hopper to the discharge chute. Many models feature chain driven auger systems, which are designed to reduce bridging and ensure smooth, uninterrupted feed flow. Suitable for a wide range of feed types.
- Gravity-Flow Dispensers : Rely on gravity for feed movement. Ideal for free-flowing materials like pellets and range cubes.
- Conveyor Belt Dispensers : Use belts, including a rubber belt, to transport feed, making them great for larger volumes and varied feed types.
Many feed dispensers are available in three sizes to suit various livestock feeding requirements.
Choosing the Right Feed Dispenser for Your Operation
When selecting a feed dispenser, it’s essential to consider several factors to ensure you choose the right one for your operation.
First, consider the type of feed you need to dispense, such as hog feed, poultry feed, or cattle feed supplements. Feed dispensing amounts can often be easily adjusted to suit the specific needs of different livestock, allowing for precise control and optimized feed efficiency.
Next, think about the size of your operation and the number of animals you need to feed. It is important to select a feed dispenser with the appropriate capacities to match your feeding requirements, ensuring efficient and reliable performance for your specific operation size.
You’ll also want to consider the terrain and accessibility of your feeding areas, as well as the type of vehicle you’ll be using to transport the dispenser. Many dispensers offer versatile mounting options and include hardware kits for secure installation on UTVs, ATVs, or truck beds.
Additionally, some models allow you to monitor or control feed dispensing directly from the cab of your truck or tractor, enhancing operator convenience and efficiency.

Key Features and Considerations
When evaluating feed dispensers, there are several key features and considerations to keep in mind. Look for a dispenser made from durable materials, such as 16-gauge sheet iron and 3/16” x 1 1/2” angle iron, to ensure it can withstand the rigors of regular use. A sealed construction helps keep out dirt and moisture, while a weather tight lid protects feed from contamination and spoilage. These features contribute to longer product life by preventing damage from the elements.
An adjustable V-auger cover and 4” auger can also help to ensure efficient and accurate feed dispensing. A flexible rubber chute is a durable component that withstands impact and reduces wear and tear.
Additionally, consider the power source and motor type, such as a 12-volt motor with an oil bath gear reducer, to ensure reliable operation. Dispensers are available in electric or hydraulic models, featuring electric operation for convenience or hydraulic models for enhanced durability and performance. For mobile setups, a battery can be used as a power source.

They mount directly onto your pickup bed, maintaining access to essential truck features like trailer hitches and bale movers. As you juggle multiple tasks, a feed dispenser takes care of the tedious part, giving you the freedom to dedicate your attention to more pressing concerns.
Maximizing Efficiency with a Truck-Mounted Feed Dispenser
To maximize efficiency with a truck feeder, consider the following tips. Truck feeders can be used to dispense feed in piles or in a line, depending on your livestock’s needs. First, plan your feeding routes in advance to minimize travel time and ensure that you’re dispensing feed in the most efficient manner possible. Next, make sure to regularly calibrate and adjust the dispenser to ensure accurate feed dispensing. Additionally, consider investing in optional features, such as scales or counters, to help you track feed usage and optimize your feeding operations. By following these tips and choosing the right feed dispenser for your operation, you can maximize efficiency and reduce costs.
Maintenance and Longevity
Regular maintenance is key to keeping your feed dispenser in top condition. Cleaning prevents feed buildup, while inspections help you catch wear and tear early. Bolstering your equipment with premium parts such as oil bath gear reducers and starter motors means less time spent on repairs and more time getting the job done.
