I have a Amish made one sided one and a double sided one that I converted into a one sider. The one sider will hold about a ton and the other about 2 1/2 ton. I have used them probably over 15 years feeding 8-10 steers a year. They are both still in good shape and the big one has always been outside. Although I think the Smidley are a little better built but cost more too. I feed ground ear corn in them and get a little spillage on them where I think the Smidley would work better in that respect. They worked out good too when I had a real job and couldn't always be here at feeding time. I like to get away so I can fill them up and make it easy for someone to take care of them while I'm gone. Would post pictures but I never figured out how to do it on here.
I saw about a half doz small Smidleys sell on a Auction about a month ago and they all brought between 2-3 thousand. I think it was 800 and 1200 I paid for mine years ago. They are probably both worth that or more now. Don't think you'll go wrong with a new Smidley.

Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
