Mineral Feeder Turns With The Wind HOG EQUIPMENT & IDEAS Hog Equipment & Ideas (351) 20-5-7 It turns with the wind, says Jim Zapetal, Tabor, S.Dak., about the "weather proof" mineral feeder he built out of a truck wheel and hub and other miscellaneous parts.
It consists of a truck rim fitted with scrap iron braces that lies flat on the ground. The front spindle, hub, and wheel off a junked car are welded solid to the truck rim. A plastic barrel sits on top of the car wheel, held in place by bolted-on metal straps.
A large opening on one side of the barrel gives easy access to the minerals or salt inside. A bent pipe on top of the barrel is fitted with a plywood "sail" that keeps the feeder pointed away from the wind, keeping rain and snow out of the feeder.
