How many kilograms of roughage can I load into my HayBuddy?

The maximum carry capacity of the HayBuddy is 10kg, but it performs best with 4-6kg of roughage. The amount you can fit into your HayBuddy will depend on volume. Please be aware that over or under-filling might cause the roughage to get stuck inside the bag and not release properly.

What type of roughage can I use in my HayBuddy?

How many hours in advance can I set my HayBuddy?

The HayBuddy can be set for 24 hours in advance.

Is the HayBuddy waterproof?

Do I have to set the HayBuddy every time that I use it?

You only need to set your HayButler once to release at the same time every day. You can change the release time as many times as you like by using the menu.

Can I use my HayBuddy for soaked roughage?

The inside of the bag is lined with polyethene (plastic) and is waterproof, so in theory you can load soaked hay into your HayBuddy. In reality, it may become tricky to clean the inside of the bag.
