Well if you do get one let me know how it works....I can't really find any info expect what is put out by the company. One of my main questions is is there fodder out put baced on dry mater or wet weigh? If its not dry mater you would need to have 180lbs a day for one horse to not need any supplement hay. (Average horse need 20 ish lbs dry mater a day wet fodder (pasture) is only 75-80% dry mater)

I know you still have to feed some hay with it but not much and it doesn't need to be quality. So it would save me big time. I can get teff hay for $10 a bale vs $17-18 for quality grass hay. I know they are satisfaction guaranteed through farm tek and they have good financing. The only reason I haven’t tried it is I need a building to put the system in.

We have had 2 customers that bought them thinking they were the end all. Their horses started looking like crap and both got rid of the systems. It takes quit a bit of work to keep them going and they use a lot of electricity. I wouldn't have one for free. JMO
