Tough1 Slow Feed Net Square Bale Feeder

I love these bags but the new ones don't have the metal ring at the bottom which I was a little disappointed at. I put our bags in the top of an old V feeder and tie the one end then use a caribeaner through the metal ring to keep the horses from pulling out the bag and getting them all dirty. I will figure something out though. We have had the last bags for about 4 years now, yes we patch them every year but they are still strong.

It works pretty well. However, my horse ut a hole in in the 1st week. My ponies do better wth it. I put the bale in then put it in my feeder. My horse can reach over the top and the ponies can't, which is why I think he was able to put holes in it.

I find it easy to put around hay and my horses can't waste hay anymore.

The hay net is sturdy and quite huge. It is really stretchy, however, so you have to fluff the hay once you put it in. Otherwise, as the horse eats, too much loose net gets in the way and they can reach the hay anymore. Other than the bet being overly stretchy, I'm really loving it.

2” openings should be a bit smaller

I use these during storms only. I fill them and throw them in run in sheds just in case snow keeps us from feeding on time. They do their job.

Pros: I easily fit 2 small square bales into one of these with room to cram more flakes. Its made from the same material as the small poly hay nets most of us are used to. The closure method so far is great. I prefer it over the loop string most nets have.
Cons: So far nothing!
Comments: These are great. I have two and will be buying another soon. If you want to leave hay out 24 7 and dontr like filling nets all the time, these are the best. I think they could hold about 75 lbs of hay or more pretty easily considering I fit two small squares and there was room for more. I just set them on end, pulled the net over them flipped it over, cut the strings and pulled it closed. Make sure you are close to where you will hang or secure the net because its hard to move with that much hay in it.
