WHAT THE SHEEP SNACKER DOESInstead of manually feeding using bagged feed into animal troughs, the TF350 sheep snacker allows you to accurately measure and drop the feed in correct amounts from 0.5Kg to 2Kg approximately.
The speed of the ATV quad bike or similar towing vehicle decides what distance is between each drop. The digital counter attached to the sheep snacker tells you exactly how much feed is dropped each time and has the feature to either count up or count down the amount of feed drops to ensure the correct feed levels are maintained. Other really good benefits of this system means that the farmer can concentrate on checking the condition of his cattle, sheep or other livestock, whilst doing the feed.

Electronic Drive
The electronic counter and drive system has very few moving parts, reducing wear and tear to increase long term reliability by only rotating and dropping feed as per set up, meaning the farmer can cover longer distances. It is designed to cope with the worst weather conditions.
All the electronic components are IP67 rated. The display has an easy to read bright back light for clear visibility when there is not enough natural light on dark days. It will consume very little power when switched off if wired directly to the quad bike or similar towing vehicle.
