Looking for small metal buckets

[glen]

Everything came in them at one time or another. I am lookng for buckets or barells that are metal and at the largest 20 gallon. If they are smaller I could weld two of them together. Im in the Austin area and looking for something smaller than a 55 0r 30 gallon so it is portable and can be thrown up with a come along easily. Thanks for any suggestions.

Callahan's or Tractor Supply may have some.

Glen, Let me make a call. How many and what size do you want?

[stonecold]

check with a diesel service center and ask if they have any 15-18 gal grease drums, we used to get them from one in longview and we would pressure wash them at the car wash to get the remnants out, they hold 100# of corn...

I've used galvanized trash cans from Home Depot Work really well for about $10. They come in a couple of different sizes so you could pick the size you want. I killed both my deer underneath a 100# capacity trash can feeder this year.

Matt - what did you use for legs?

[Loneaggie]

I didn't use legs I used a rope hooked to a pulley to facilitate lowering the can to fill it and hoist it back up. Worked pretty well. Not sure I have any photos of it, but you can see it in my buck video from this year:

That's a pretty cool idea. Did you use a funnel in it?

[Loneaggie]

I used a funnel down by the timer like you usually do, but I didn't use an internal funnel... wasn't worth messing with. Critter76 and I have turned into feeder mounting specialists.... feel free to ask about our tree step/ratchet strap mounting system also lol

THe quick lube places have those 18gal(I think) grease drums. Just right for a small feeder. Hang them or put legs on them. They work well.

Texag93 Ill stop by there tomorrow and ask. Thanks for the idea and the call 10 pt. Its just gotten hard to find metal with everything coming plastic these days.
