Just bought a couple of these 5 gallon bucket feeders and was wondering how many pounds of corn will fit in one. Any ideas?

one gallon equals 8.33 lbs respectively. 5 gallon pail should hold 41.56 lbs considering the rounding up and down on the math.
Hope that helps, Take care and be safe,

About half of a 50 lb bag of corn. So around 25 lbs. Obviously we all have different size buckets

I'd Venture to say 3lb if it is popped and you add butter and salt:biggrin2:

I had one of the Walmart Remington brand bucket feeders that was stolen after I took it down last fall. It would hold all of a 40 lb bag if it were filled to the top.

Some feeder manufacturers must use 6 gallon buckets if a 5 only holds 33 lb.

I should have been more clear, I bought a used feeder with a manufacturer bucket (which may be 6 gallons) and I put a feeder motor on a store bought 5 gallon bucket.
