Model 8912 Belt Feeder Success Story
More efficient, less run time!
Allen Theill raises 60 beef cows on a farm in Cuba City, WI that he has been on for 30 years. The farm had originally been owned and operated by his wife's parents.
In November of 2007, Allen decided to replace his brand x feeder with a Patz. After consulting his local Patz dealer, Steinhart Farm Service, Inc. in Platteville, WI, he invested in a 70 foot long Patz Model 8912 Belt Feeder. Part of the reason that he chose this model was because it fits right into his bunk frames.
Allen has discovered that his new Patz Belt Feeder is "simple and reliable." He said, "I don't have to worry about whether the cows are going to be fed. All I have to do is turn on the switch and the Patz feeder works." He has also been able to save on time since his purchase. Allen said that it is more efficient than his old feeder because it doesn't have to run as long. He now only has to feed once a day.
Allen had a very pleasant experience with Steinhart Farm Service, Inc. He said, "I had very good service from Steinhart's. I called on a Wednesday and Steinhart's had the feeder in stock and installed the next day."
Allen was also impressed with the ease of installation of his Patz Model 8912 Belt Feeder. "I couldn't believe how smoothly the feeder was installed," he commented. "Steinhart's had prepped the machine so it was easier to install when they got there."
