Miller MFG Flat Back Plastic Bucket DFB20
Miller MFG’s DFB20 is the budget-friendly stable portable bucket feeder intended as an affordable, serviceable option for light-duty feeding and spare inventory. It sacrifices some of the reinforced rims and refined mounting features of Fortex and Little Giant to keep initial costs low, which can be financially attractive when stocking many feeders or using them as temporary replacements. Technically it performs adequately for routine, low-abuse applications but is best deployed where cost savings outweigh the need for premium durability.
