Little Giant Rubber Tub with Metal Hanging Hooks 6.5 Gallon Capacity, Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product! I use it for my dog and she loves it. It’s light weight enough to move around easily and durable enough that my animals can’t hurt it. It’s nice and deep so I could use it for a feed bowl or a water bowl and it can hold a good amount of each.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this as a wash bucket for my truck. Held up good with the soap and came clean after a thorough rinse. Kinda on the heavier side for the purpose I use it for. Did have a strong rubber smell for a few days when I first received this product. I can see multiple uses with this item due to it having the hanging hooks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Right now I’ve been using it for hay! I believe it should have a plastic ring around the top to make it more sturdy so I’m sure it would work so much better if it did! But overall it’s still a really great product! Great material and a perfect size!

Both tubs I received (MIller Mfg) tore at the rim or eye attachment within two months of once daily use. The are very floppy, which makes me wonder if they're not reinforced. The metal eye hardware for hanging them up falls out the tub rim if nothing is attached to it. I'm returning these and will buying tubs made by Fortex. I have tubs of that brand that have been used outside over 10 years and are going strong.

Deeper than I expected. Im use to more shallow tubs.

This feed tub is the perfect dish for horses to eat out of! My horse seems to love the wide diameter for easy eating and the high sides keep him from from spilling too much grain. I could instantly tell that the rubber material is super durable and will last me for years to come! Plus I love that the tub is flexible and will simply bend if my horse happens to step on it instead of a plastic tub that potentially could break and splinter. This tub comes with three rings to hang it in a stall as well, but these can be removed for ground feeding. I did notice a rubbery smell when I first started using this feed tub, but the smell went away after a few days of airing out in the barn. My horse ate out of this tub the day after I got it and didn't seem to be phased by the smell at all, as he licked the tub clean! This feed tub is a great investment that I know will hold up to barn life and last for years.

I’ll start by saying the tub is great in every way except one - it smells!!! And not just “oh it’s a little rubbery” - I opened the box and it sat in the house overnight, it smelled pretty badly but didn’t think much of it. Woke up to the entire house smelling so strongly of rubber/plastic it was awful, spent half an hour running fans and opening doors and windows to get the stink out. It’s REALLY bad, I’m hoping after some washes it will come out but it’s actually really bad. Otherwise the tub is actually very nice, rugged heavy duty but soft if they are on it or shake it around - heavy duty hardwear! Overall it’s great, just stinky!!!

Always great to have a few extra tubs for feed or forage !

I have used this type of feed tub for 36 years. I use snaps and eyelets with rings to suspend them. Horses can still pull on them but not with the force they would with rigid attachment. The hold up a long time, and are easy to clean. These are very well made, and incorporate a sort of retainer to keep the eyelets from pulling through the slits in the tubs (the most common failure). These arrived with a very strong new tire-like odor, and had to be placed aside a few days to air out. After two weeks they are now in use, but still have a residual odor that will take more time to dissipate.

In my area, it is hard to find these tubs with the eyes. I was replacing my stallion's old tub, since it was starting to show some wear. He turned 33 in May, looks like he is 12, so he deserves the best!

I purchased this and it is perfect! Large and easy to clean.

Bought this to feed watered down pellets to the horses during our hot Arizona summer. I do not hang them anywhere. If used on the ground please take out the cotter pins on the sides otherwise they will come out and you will find them in the stall

This product came with quite a strong stench, so I did not use it for food/water to give my horse. I used it for carrying water to clean with, and after a few weeks, the smell went away. It's durable and a good size. Other than the smell, it's great, and the smell does not last forever.

My mare gets supplements and medications so ground feeders are not an options. When I moved to my new barn and the stall didn't have a corner feeder I knew I needed to get one of these. What I love most is that is bendable, and if it gets nasty and needs to be cleaned, I can unclip it and rinse it out. Overall, Im very happy with these for the price.

Very happy with this feed tub. It keeps everyone happy in the barn because the banging of the feed bucket has been quieted!

I love these tubs as I have a gelding who makes it his mission to destroy things. These are tough enough to stand up to him! Just purchased the value pack to replace my old ones that had finally given up.

My Clydesdale has gone through quite a few corner feeders, she is a very BIG girl. I thought with her size and her love of grain we needed to try this feed tub, it looked big, and deep enough for my girl. So far the tub is perfect, she likes the size, and I can see she has not cracked the tub in a weeks time...so far so good.

I bought 8 tubs for planting bulbs. I’ve drilled the holes in the bottoms of each, now I’m ready to plant! The depth is perfect , and because the product is freeze proof, no worries for winter and spring frost! I’ll be fastening chicken wire to the eye screws on the tops of the tubs for critter control!! Wonderful tubs!

This feed tube is awesome! Rubber is a little smelly when you first get it have to air out and then it is fine horses eat grain no problem out of it. I love tube you can wash out and put back in stall and clean and fresh for the horse!

Levi is known for destroying feed buckets, and rips them off the wall, one by one. It seems to bring him much joy. So now we have had to go to ground feeding him. He enjoys playing with his food... and will sling it around, and likes to play with the tub as well, so we wanted something substantial and deep. This tub fits the bill as it is heavy duty, and one of the deepest I could find. He is still able to sling feed out of it, and it only took him a day to figure out he can easily flip it, but it is much better than the lower sided ground feeders. I did not have an issue with a strong rubber odor, as I read in several of the other reviews, but my only complaint would be that one of the metal eye hooks came out in his stall one day. In SmartPaks defense though, he does play it like a tambourine when he is in his stall, holding it in his mouth and banging it around, and the jingle jingle of the metal eye hooks could be heard throughout the aisle. If your horse doesn't use the tub as a stall toy, then you probably will not have any issues. After the first one came out, we decided to remove the other two ourselves, to avoid any worry. Removing them was quite easy, and I recommend doing so, if you have no intention of using them. All in all, it is a great feeder, easy to clean, heavy duty and very affordable.
