Options

Sake Pockets

Stake Pockets give the producer the option of adding sideboards on one sides and down the middle — With the sideboards the producer can feed silage on one side and a bale of hay/feed on the other side and mix the two in any desired ratio—If silage is an option where you live go to our EZ Ration Calculator page and put in you own hay/feed and silage test and see just how cheap you could feed– We have had customers that have really hit a home run utilizing the EZ Ration Processor to blend silage with dry processed roughage

Grain Attachment

Our Grain Attachment gives the producer the option of adding grain in various amounts to the ration while delivering it to the feed bunk. – It is available on both the Trailer Mounted and the Truck Mounted models. There is a air activated lid option available on the Truck Mounted version as well — Adding the Grain Attachment to you EZ Ration Processor really increases your feeding options — From helping the cows out with a little extra energy from time to time to helping that first calf heifer breed back to weaning/growing your calves to putting a pound or two on the old cull cow or bull before they go to market it is well worth the extra money

Independent floor scales

Our new scale ready model EZ Ration Processor is designed with the floor split so the producer can weigh the hay on the left floor chain independently from the hay on the right floor chain* a third scale system can be added for the grain attachment** now the producer will know the exact amount of each feed source fed.

Discharge hood– Manual or Air Activated

Our discharge hood allows you to feed processed hay during high winds and still get the hay in the bunks.

Wings are actually heavy metal doors behind the shredder housing that prevents any spillage off the side while processing the bales — Feedlots prefer them to keep any spillage out of the alleyways

Delivery / Trucking

We can help you find a trucking company if need be. We have a couple of affiliated trucking companies that have delivered a lot of EZ Ration Processors to other customers in the past. If you have your own trucks or have a company that you like to use we will help you get them all the information they will need. Most EZ Ration Processor models will require a step deck and in some states, wide load permits are required. Every EZ Ration Processor (tractor pull or truck mounted) is 11 feet 6 inches wide. The tractor pull models are typically 10 feet 6 inches tall. The truck mounted units can vary according to the trucks they are mounted on. The length and weight can vary according to the model and options. Wide load permits are generally not required by the end user after delivery when the product is in use, because it is an implement of husbandry, (you feed cattle with it) –check your state regulations.
