I recently seen the pop up grain hopper sold by Concept bins in Winkler. I have all hoppers mostly on my farm and like the fact you can fold it right up under the hopper gate. Has any of you guys bought one and if so is it worth it. Wondered about the durability of construction . thankyou for all input.

Don't have that version ,We have a auger hog ..back collapses and somewhat easy to clean out ,I love it that it stays attached to the auger when moving around the Yard ..Only thing I would add it just needs a hitch so you could pull the auger with it attached .Great for going from one bin to the next.

I'm not sure which one you're referring to, we bought a new one from Farm Service in Altona this spring that's some light aluminum with a tarp type material. It replaced an auger hog. They both aren't very good, the new one, sorry I can't remember the brand, is better cuz it's lighter. The auger hog is just that, a hog. It weighs a ton and it didn't fit under many of our older bins. Moving it by yourself was almost impossible.
We are always looking for something better though. So far my favorite is still the black triangular plastic hoppers you get from the co-op.

I ended up buying the handi hopper. It is a relatively light hopper and has a spring on the canvas sides so it springs up to the top of a hopper bin. Works great, with a meridian unload auger or westfield auger and I am very impressed how next to no seed bounces out of hopper or its sides help keep the wind and dust from blowing everywhere. Also works great under my norstar unload system for my brock bins. Nice thing also is it fits tight to the auger so you can go between bins with it attached. Also if not in use I spin the hopper upside down to keep things clean and dry. The only thing I am worried about is if a mouse eats the canvas. I think I will order an extra canvas as a spare.
Pretty simple to assemble. After using it now for a few weeks I dont think I want to see another plastic hopper on the farm.
