How the NEW Quad-X Trough Stock Feeder is Revolutionising Sheep Feeding

March 2, 2025

Say Goodbye to Backbreaking Bucket Feeding!

Feeding sheep in the field has never been easier! At Quad-X, we understand the daily challenges farmers face when it comes to feeding livestock efficiently and safely. That’s why we developed the Quad-X Trough Stock Feeder – a game-changing solution designed to eliminate the hassle of bucket feeding, reduce labour, and improve farm safety.

The Problem with Traditional Feeding Methods

For years, farmers have relied on the time-consuming and physically demanding method of bucket feeding. This involves filling buckets in the shed, transporting them to the field, and manually tipping them into ground troughs. Not only does this process waste valuable time, but it also leads to spills, feed contamination, and repetitive strain injuries.

During lambing season, the risks are even greater. Hungry sheep can become boisterous and unpredictable, making it dangerous for farmers – especially older farmhands – to work near crowded feeding areas. Plus, wet and muddy conditions can result in additional contamination, reducing feed quality and increasing waste.

Introducing the Quad-X Trough Stock Feeder

The Quad-X Trough Stock Feeder is built to solve these long-standing issues. Designed for maximum efficiency, safety, and ease of use, this innovative feeder attaches directly to a quad, UTV, or any vehicle with a 50mm towball.

Here’s how it works:

• Low fill height for effortless loading – Easily fill it straight from a feed silo with no awkward lifting.
• Flexible cover for dry, clean feed – No more wasted feed due to rain, or muck contamination.
• Hands-free feeding – Simply drive over the troughs, and the feeder automatically dispenses the perfect amount of feed directly into them.
• Smart nudge bar for sheep control – A cleverly designed bar gently moves sheep aside, ensuring safe and stress-free feeding.
• Choose your operation style – Available in electronic or manual open options for flexibility.
