85 gallons = ??? Pounds of corn

[Stolle]

I think I get 12 sacks in mine that do not have funnels. If its not 12 its really close.

Didn't you just buy some Academy feeders?

I would like to find some 85 gallon barrels for sale near me.

[Electrican]

Same here

We have shallow funnels in our 85 gal barrels and they hold exactly 500lbs. I mean it is smooth level at the top.

[Paycheck]

I put 350 lbs in my 55 gal. feeder. 350 divided by 55 times 85 =540 lbs

Yup. I got 2 of the 600# fdrs. Last 2 they had. I've been to several academys. Only found 2. I have 6 fdrs to replace on 3 different properties.

PI x radius squared x height gets you the volume
Without a funnel in the bottom of the barrel, an 85 gallon barrel will hold 511.45 pounds of shelled corn

The one I have holds 550 # of corn.
Same here. Very hard to find them at a reasonable price

How much do they usually cost when you can find them?

706.5 pounds with no funnel.

My feeders are 110 gallons (2 55's welded together & no funnel) and they will hold right at 14 bags or 700 lbs. So my math is 1400lbs/110gallons*85 gallons= 541lbs (without funnel)

$200 new!

[IbeHuntn]

I have seven 85 gallon drums with funnels. The will hold between 525 and 550.
