    Or any other similar container to attach a feeder motor to.

    Already checked Tractor Supply, and no luck.

    Thanks,

    Check around at some feed/hdwe. type stores in your area. I buy mine at a local place here for $10/ea. We live in the county, so we can burn our paper trash in it.

    Check out your local golf course. We always have a few plastic or steel ones lying around.

    My buddy got a bunch of plastic 55 gal containers from car washes. The soap they use comes in those.

    A bulk oil supplier, I have about 20 of them I got from a fish packing house up the road. I use mine for waste oil. And pump tanks for sewer systems.

    50 gal is a lot of weight we usually use 30 gal or I use 50 gal if just sitting on ground and cutting small hole inside to feed.A 50 will hold about 300 lbs of corn

    I'm also thinking you could get over 400#'s of corn in a 55gal. drum.

    Anywhere that sells bear bait usually has a lot of them. You probably don't have a lot of bears in your area though.
