one of the items was broken and the alignment of the tubing was all off but I have no way of returning the product as it came on a tractor trailer.

The first Tarter basket feeder lasted for 6 years in a very punishing environment - eventually the constant contact with wet ground and manure took its toll and the base leg welds grew weak and bent. I wish we had just repaired it regardless of what it took. Instead we purchased new. The same style feeder was destroyed within 6 months - welds let go. We purchased another and the tubes bent like a plastic straw and the welds cracked. Ending up purchasing a $4,500.00 covered hay feeder that is a serious piece of equipment. Probably should have done that 29 years ago - money ahead. The one star is for the poly basket in all three units … still intact and not one even cracked.

It’s a good size (3 to 4 small bales) and easily to move. The only thing is that my horses tend to toss out their hay while looking for the best parts. I’m thinking of putting a hay net over the top to keep the hay inside of it.

Perfect for my herd of 5!
