A FEED trailer from Milk Bar will not cut in through gateways, can be safely braked before unhitching, suits many feeds and withstands years of farm use, the maker says.

It has all-wheel steering, a split brake system and split troughs.

The steering enables you to tow multiple feed trains through gateways with no cutting in.

And the split brake system allows the user to apply a park brake before unhitching from the tow vehicle – an essential safety feature.

Split troughs give great feeding options, says Milk Bar, e.g. molasses in one and PKE in the other, etc. Troughs are made from polyethelene – strong and durable.

A 3-year warranty applies.
