On a feedlot, feed and time are money. Shimek Bucket feedlot efficiency means moving material cleanly and quickly so you waste less and work faster—even in cold, wet conditions.
Why Efficiency Counts In The Yard:
- Less feed loss: material slides cleanly instead of sticking or bridging.
- Reduced labour & fuel: faster loads, quicker dumps, fewer clean-ups.
- Built for the grind: heavy loads and harsh weather won’t slow it down.
Features That Deliver Real Gains:
- Optimized shape that keeps silage and mixed rations flowing smoothly.
- Reinforced wear points where buckets typically fail to extend service life.
- Loader-matched design for proper fit, balance, and safe handling.
- Serviceable components to simplify maintenance and lower total cost.
Why Shimek Bucket Feedlot Efficiency Matters:
In daily operations, the Shimek Ejector Bucket reduces sticking, bridging, and scraping that slow crews down. Because material is pushed out rather than relying on gravity alone, wet feed releases predictably—shortening rounds and cutting fuel use. Over a season, those minutes add up to meaningful labour savings and fewer delays. Reinforced wear points and serviceable components extend working life, reducing repairs and downtime. The net result—faster cycles, less waste, and durable build—translates into tighter cost control and more consistent feed delivery to pens.
The Payoff For Your Feedlot:
- More feed delivered where it belongs, with cleaner dumps.
- Less downtime from plugged or worn-out gear.
- Better cost control across the whole operation.
Improving feed efficiency is one of the biggest drivers of feedlot profitability. See background from the Beef Cattle Research Council: feed efficiency research.
