The timed hay dispenser is the ideal solution for clean, structured, and animal-friendly hay feeding in the stable or pasture. Thanks to its well-thought-out design, it enables horses, ponies, and other roughage eaters to eat hay naturally, slowly, and evenly, significantly reducing feed loss.

The timed hay dispenser is made of food-grade, break and shatter-proof, high-quality plastic. This material not only ensures a high level of safety for the animals but is also particularly durable and easy to clean. This makes the hay dispenser ideal for daily use in the stable. The timed hay dispenser can be used in sheltered outdoor areas.

The lid and the back panel are made of sturdy screen printing material, which provides additional stability. Thanks to the straight back panel, the hay dispenser can be easily and securely mounted on a wall. At the same time, the design is space-saving, so it can also be used without problems in smaller stable areas.

Our popular timed hay dispensers are available in various versions: with a feeding grid, with a hay net, or as an open version. This allows the hay dispenser to be optimally adapted to the individual needs of the animals and supports controlled, species-appropriate feed intake. The right choice of the appropriate slow feeder is crucial for good function as well as for the health and well-being of the animal.

In the net version, the hay net can be replaced particularly easily without loosening the cable tie. These also fulfill an important safety function: should a horse ever get caught, the cable ties will break under stress, allowing the animal to free itself and not get stuck on the hay dispenser.

In the timed version, a drop-down floor is integrated inside the hay dispenser. This divides the hay dispenser into two portions and can be automatically triggered via a timer. The horse can first eat the first portion, while the second portion is held back. At the set time, the control unit releases the drop-down floor and the second portion slides down automatically, allowing the horse access to hay again.

The timer can be individually programmed and can be adjusted for each day. In addition, several trigger times can be set per day. This makes it possible to fill the hay dispenser multiple times and plan several feeding times without constantly having to reset the timer.

The hay dispenser is available in various power options. The 12V battery version already has an integrated battery level indicator. The battery has a run time of approximately 4–6 weeks, depending on usage and settings.

We would be happy to advise you personally on choosing the right product for you and your horse. The selection of the right slow feeder is crucial for your horse's health and for the optimal functioning of our products.

Please note that hay dispensers cannot be exchanged for hygienic reasons after use.
An incorrectly chosen hole size/mesh width is not a reason for complaint.

Timed Hay Box – Controlled Feeding, Relaxed Horse

The timed hay box from Heufresser is the ideal solution for anyone who wants to manage their feeding efficiently, horse-friendly, and reliably. The large hay chamber with practical timer control allows for structured, consistent hay feeding throughout the day – without manual refilling.

Natural Feeding – Stress-Free and Healthy

The timed hay box offers individually programmable feeding times. This prevents long feeding breaks, eases digestion, and reduces restlessness in the stable. The ground-level feeding position also promotes a healthy posture for the neck and back.

Fix Plus System and Slowfeeder

The timed hay box is equipped with the proven Fix Plus System, which securely holds the slow feeder in place. This ensures the slow feeder remains stable and reliably fixed – even with active animals.

Various slow feeder options are available: high-quality hay net frames made of aluminum or stainless steel with durable nets in different mesh sizes, as well as the popular feeding grids in various hole sizes. This allows the hay box to be optimally adapted to the individual needs of your animals and supports controlled, species-appropriate feed intake.

The inner chamber of the timed hay box measures 149cm x 49cm, so all our popular slow feeders are also available in a suitable size for the timed hay box.

Automatic Feeder System – automated feeding made easy

Transform your feeder into an automated feeding system in just a few simple steps. This prevents long feeding breaks and uncontrolled overeating – ensuring horse-friendly hay feeding, less work, and more relaxed feeding times. Your horse benefits from a natural feeding rhythm, and you save valuable time every day.

Functions at a glance

The automatic feeder system enables timed opening and closing of feeders and hay boxes. It is suitable for both our models and self-built feeders or feeders from other manufacturers. The only requirement is a feeder or box with a lid.

Installation is straightforward and completed in just a few steps. The integrated 24-hour timer allows individual opening and closing times to be set. The minimum switching interval is 30 minutes. In addition, a manual mode is available, allowing the feeder to be opened or closed at any time, independently of the schedule.

Flexible Power Supply

The automatic system operates with a 12-volt operating voltage, making it ideal for autonomous use with a car battery or a photovoltaic system. With a power consumption of only 10 watts during the opening and closing process, energy consumption is extremely low. Alternatively, the system can also be operated optionally via a 230-volt power supply unit.

Safe and durable

The lid is opened by a powerful linear actuator that reliably moves lid weights up to 25 kg. Closing occurs solely due to the lid's own weight. This prevents crushing or injury hazards from an actively closing drive.

Electronics and mechanics are splash-proof according to IP54 and should be installed under a roof or cover for a long service life. All components are developed with high-quality standards, carefully assembled by hand, and thoroughly tested before shipment.

Scope of delivery

The automatic feeder system is available in a one-piece or two-piece design. A connection cable for battery operation is included. A 230-volt power supply unit can be ordered optionally.

One-piece or two-piece design – what's the difference?

The Tima timer control is available in a one-piece and a two-piece design. Both variants offer the same functions – the difference lies in the construction and installation options.

One-piece design
In the one-piece variant, the timer control and lifting mechanism form a compact unit. All components are integrated into one housing and are mounted directly on the feeder.

Advantage: The compact design allows for particularly easy and space-saving installation.

Two-piece design
The two-piece variant consists of two separate components: the lifting unit and the control unit. The lifting unit is mounted directly on the feeder, while the control unit can be attached independently in any location. Both units are connected to each other via the included 3-meter connection cable.

Advantage: The control unit can be flexibly mounted outside the stable or at a comfortable operating height. This makes settings and manual operation easily accessible at all times without having to go directly to the feeder.

The Heutomat – well-thought-out feeding for every stable

The Heutomat from Heufresser is the ideal solution for anyone who wants to manage their feeding efficiently, horse-friendly, and reliably. It is based on the natural eating behavior of horses and ensures that hay is available in a controlled and evenly distributed manner throughout the day.

Inside the Heutomat, a slider operates, which is automatically opened and closed via a timer. This allows the nutrition to be precisely adapted to the horse's individual daily rhythm. A total of up to eight opening and eight closing times can be set per day, ensuring a continuous and needs-based supply.

Compact, robust, and flexible

Thanks to its compact and sturdy design, the Heutomat can be easily integrated even into smaller stable areas. With base dimensions of 70 × 60 cm and a height of 150 cm, it requires little space without restricting the horse's freedom of movement. At the same time, the robust construction ensures high durability in daily use.

Visually, the Heutomat harmonizes with different stable concepts through various available wood finishes. The system is powered by a standard 230V household power connection. The timer has a removable remote control and can be flexibly mounted anywhere, as needed, or, as shown in the example, protected inside the Heutomat.

Generous volume and easy handling

With a capacity of 450 liters, the Heutomat offers enough space for about 15 to 25 kg of hay, depending on the structure of the feed. Filling is particularly convenient: both an upper and a side flap allow for quick and easy refilling.

Gentle feed intake through integrated slow feeder

In the front area, the Heutomat is equipped with sturdy feeding grate bars that serve as a slow feeder and promote slow, natural feed intake. The bars are unbreakable, splinter-proof, food-safe, and particularly gentle on teeth. Standard spacing between the bars is 5.5 cm. This can be individually adjusted as needed by adjusting the individual bars with two screws each in just a few steps.

We would be happy to advise you personally on choosing the right product for you and your horse.

Timed Large Bale Feeder

The intelligent solution for horse-friendly hay feeding

The timed large bale feeder from Heufresser is the ideal solution for anyone who wants to manage their feeding efficiently, reliably and in a horse-friendly manner. It is particularly suitable for group housing of several horses and ensures a controlled, regular hay supply – without daily effort.

Natural feeding – stress-free and healthy

Horses are naturally grazers and require regular access to roughage throughout the day. The timed large bale feeder, with its individually programmable control, enables reliable feeding without long feeding breaks.

Up to eight opening and eight closing times can be programmed daily. This allows natural feeding intervals to be replicated, feeding stress to be reduced, and the risk of feeding-related illnesses to be minimized. At the same time, it creates more calm in the herd and significantly relieves the horse owner in daily stable management.

Feeding spaces and drive

Depending on the version, the timed large bale feeder has three or four timed feeding sides. All sides are controlled simultaneously and each has its own motor. This design ensures reliable and long-lasting operation.

The large bale feeder is available in different power variants:

* Ready-to-plug-in 230-volt version

* Battery operated 

* Autonomous solar system

This allows the system to be flexibly adapted to almost any location.

High-quality materials and robust construction

Every timed large bale feeder is carefully handcrafted in Germany. The construction consists of a stable KVH frame and high-quality larch wood and screen printing elements.

The exterior cladding can be individually made from screen printing plates or larch wood. The floor is made of robust screen printing material and allows for easy cleaning by sweeping or washing out.

Timed walls with safety concept

The timed walls consist of sturdy screen printing plates and are moved upwards by means of motors. When open, the walls disappear completely within the lower barrier and allow the horses free access to the hay.

When closed, the closing height is 170 cm. The walls intentionally do not close all the way to the roof. This serves as an important safety aspect and prevents the horses from getting trapped. The door side closes approx. 6cm lower due to the door frame. 

Individual barrier height and roof variants

The height of the lower barriers can be individually selected:

* 65 cm

* 80 cm

* 95 cm

In addition, various roof variants are available:

* Roof size 3 × 3 meters

* Roof size 5 × 5 meters

* Version without roof

Dimensions

External dimensions: 200 cm long x 200 cm wide
Internal dimensions: 175cm long x 175cm wide
Internal height: lowest point 230cm, highest point 250cm (the roof is sloped for better water drainage)
Total height: 245cm/275cm

Delivery and assembly

The timed large bale feeder is delivered by freight forwarder. The recipient must provide appropriate facilities for unloading on site. We recommend a vehicle with a fork length of at least 120 cm and a lifting capacity of at least 1.5 tons.

Shipping costs are calculated individually based on the delivery address. We would be happy to provide you with a non-binding offer.

The large bale feeder is largely pre-assembled upon delivery. Only the roof battens and the trapezoidal sheet metal need to be assembled on site. Detailed assembly instructions are included.
