The heater is fairly new and worked great last winter, we custom shaped it to be closer to the bottom of the tank (see photo) because the way they are designed from the factory they set about 3 to 4 in.
above the bottom and we didn't like the idea of the horses drinking the water down far enough to expose the heater and burning it out so it now is closer to a 1 in.

So this is a one-of-a-kind !!
THREE CUSTOM MADE HAY FEEDERS made from a round hay feeder disassembled and set on edge with tarps overtop, wood in the front and back and water pipe across the front so the horse can't walk on the hay and it stays dry inside the feeders.
Pictures of those are included.
They Really save on wasted hay!!
METAL T-POST FENCE POSTS, WIRE, INSULATORS AND PARMAK MARK IV ELECTRIC FENCER to electrify the wire have somewhere around 75 metal fence posts running from 5' to 7'.
Most have rust on them but still sturdy.
We estimate the wire between 1/4 and 1/2 mile.
The electric fencer is Parker McCrory Parmak brand, Mark IV.
It's missing some paint but still works great! 150 used insulators, different lengths and some are nail in for wood.
There is an additional 140 insulators that have a missing ear or base which we used by wiring them to the posts.

INFORMATION ON FARNAM AUTOMATIC GRAIN FEEDER AUGER:
The automatic auger feeder made by Farnam can be set for different times of feedings and amount to feed grain to a horse automatically.
It is made of metal rather than plastic like the newer ones and is much more rugged and well made.
This prevents wasted food.
Big 50 pound capacity.
Has a 24 hour perpetual timer that automatically dispenses from 1/2 to 4 pounds of feed per serving at times and frequency you choose every day without resetting.
Great for horses that need supplements timed out throughout the day.
Saves worry and valuable time! Food will be dispensed automatically day after day at times and the amount chosen.
Once set, the feeder will dispense each day at the same times until settings are changed.
Which is simple to do with the dials protected along the side with a metal cover to prevent tampering.
The timer is easy to replace with any automatic timer that plugs into the wall like the ones used for automatic lights to turn on and off! Wet molasses feeds are not recommended as they can make the
interior sticky and not work as efficiently.
This has been a wonderful piece of equipment for us when we can't get home to feed or we're on vacation, we know our horse will always get it's grain!
We made some short clips of it turning on automatically and dispensing for different lengths of time to give the animal more or less feed per feeding.
It does take 10 or 15 seconds for the feeder to engage in them.
There are also many more photos available also.
Information from Farnam about the Automatic Feeder Model 237401
The feeder holds 25 gallons of whole grain mixed feed or pellets.
You set the self-contained timer or amount to be released.
(1-15 pounds) and how many times per day (1-12) that you want the horse to eat.
SAVES YOU TIME, MONEY AND FEED, PLUS IT'S HEALTHIER FOR YOUR HORSES.
Farnam Automatic Feeder helps your horse re-establish his natural feeding pattern of eating smaller amounts more frequently during the day.
Actually increasing amount of nutrient digested while reducing the total amount of feed eaten.
Saves you money by preventing overfeeding.
REDUCE CHANCE OF COLIC
Ask any vet, the number one problem of horses is colic, and a major cause of colic is overfeeding.
Horses developed their natural feeding patterns over several thousands of years.
Normally, they will lightly graze about 6 times during the day.
But when confined to a stall and fed a full day's ration in one feeding, a horse's digestive system can't break down and absorb the feed fast enough - especially if it is a concentrated feed.
The digestive tract can become clogged causing excessive gas, then colic develops.
FEED YOUR HORSE NATURALLY
With Farnam's Automatic Feeder you can establish a feeding program more in line with a horse's feeding habits.
Instead of overloading his digestive system with large feedings, you can set the feeder to dispense much smaller portions many more times during the day.
FARNAM'S AUTOMATIC FEEDER SAVES YOU MONEY
With more frequent feedings, your horse's digestive system will function much more efficiently.
Plus, you can reduce the total amount that you feed each horse.
With today's high cost of feed, you can save a lot of money by preventing the waste of overfeeding, and reduce the chance of colic at the same time.
Plus, with Farnam's Automatic Feeder, you eliminate expensive spillage and wasted grain that is so typical with feeding operations.
AUTOMATIC FEEDER SAVES YOU TIME
With this feeder, you set the amount of feed you want released each feeding.
You set the number and time of feedings each day.
Fill the hopper about once a week and forget about feeding chores for the rest of the week.
Big capacity hopper holds 25 gallons of feed.
In the early morning while you sleep, the Automatic Feeder feeds your horses.
When you want to remain that extra day in the mountains or at the beach, don't worry about time.
The Automatic Feeder is on duty measuring out exact quantities of whole grain, mixed feed or pellets 24 hours a day, day after day.
Even when you are at home, your automatic Feeder saves you trip after trip to the barn and hours of valuable time each week.
HOW THE AUTOMATIC FEEDER WORKS
The heart of the Automatic Feeder is a motor driven paddle shaft.
When the clock on the timer reaches the proper time, it turns the unit on causing the shaft to rotate and release feed down the feed chute.
Each feeder has a control that determines the number of seconds the feeder operates at any one feeding, thus measuring the amount of feed dispensed.
Amount is adjustable from 1 to 15 pounds.
Self-contained timer has locking cover (lock not included).
The feeder mounts in the stall.
When the timer trips, the feeder will drop feed directly into your grain feeder (not included).
Entire feeding system is horse proof and tamper proof.
THERE ARE SO MANY EXTRAS, THERE ARE TOO MANY TO LIST!
Great for someone just starting out or needing to expand!
For pickup Only!!
Accessories have been well taken care of.
