So far so good. Durable and holds up to the abuse they put on it. Seems to work decently dropping feed down. Only suggestion would be don't install the gate on the bottom that lets feed through. It really isn't necessary and a couple of times has prevented feed from falling from hopper to trough. Otherwise I couldn't be happier. More affordable than local farm store and well built. Pigs are hard on everything so this appears to be holding up just fine!
