The automatic hay feeders have a full length door at one end, which allows access to the lifting winch for raising the doors, the timer, and the solar panel control switch. The other end door has a solid panel on the bottom and a half door on the top for filling the hay rack. This half door makes it nice to place the horse feeder against a fence and then be able to open the door from outside the fence and fill the hay hopper.

This automatic hay feeding system has many advantages for both the owner and the horses.
-
The horses will not get nervous and pace around looking for you at feeding time. They stand there relaxed knowing the doors will go down for feeding when it's time. Watch hay feeding videos.
-
The horses always get the right amount of feed at the feeding time you want them to have. Works good with hot alfalfa. Eliminates over eating problems.
-
The metal roof keeps food covered and dry even in the worst of storms. This covered feeder greatly reduces the chances of getting moldy hay that can make your livestock sick.
-
Horses get fed hay as many times a day as you want without danger of being over fed. This is ideal for the owner that doesn't want to hurry to feed in the morning or hurry home to be on time. Great for cold snowy mornings, watch out the window as the horses are automatically fed.
-
Horses are ready for you when you want to ride, you don't have to be there to feed them. Your not tied down to a strict schedule. Just fill the hay rack and forget it for a couple of days. This method can cut down on the waste by up to 35% . If the horses have a lot of time they will just pull out all the hay looking for the best stuff. Set the doors to close after 1 hour and the horses will clean up the spilled hay, instead of trampling and wasting it. Minimizing wasted hay makes this automated unit pay for itself quickly.
-
All of these automatic feeders have a safety switch which can eliminate any chances of injury due to getting caught in a closing door. The safety switch is fully adjustable and stops the unit when any resistance greater than the weight of the door is encountered. This is similar to safety switches used on automatic garage doors.
