We have two of these and the other one is probably 6 years old. Because of where we hang this one, it tilts slightly forward so we only put 4 holes on it. It is working as good as the old one. Good buy!

These buckets are awesome! FYI, the natural latex nipples will need to be inserted onto the plastic base and then screw on the plastic unit onto the nipple (some went on easy and some needed finagled a little to get screwed on the whole way). I’ll be ordering the 4 gal bucket on my next order. I use the 2 gal with natural latex nipples to feed 20 babies and it’s done in less than 5 minutes. I take the bucket out after feeding so they don’t chew on nipples. Definitely get the lid. When tightening or loosening the teat unit, make sure you don’t under or over tighten them because the bucket plastic can ‘wave’ slightly causing it to leak at the O ring.
I may try cold milk feeding once my second bucket gets here.

Ordered a bucket with holes for 4 teats. Installed all of them and 3 out of the 4 teats leak around the seal. In the directions they state that a 2nd sealing ring may be required if it leaks.
So why does a customer have to buy more seals just because it wasn’t designed properly. Now I have to buy 3 more seals and pay a ridiculously high shipping charge for parts that shouldn’t be needed in the first place.

As much as it emotionally pained me to purchase a bucket when I have them lying around, the absolute ease of having the exact pre-drilled holes that fit the exact teat units and being able to assemble the whole thing in 5 minutes was priceless! No leaks, no cursing, easy peasy. The kids took to the teats immediately. The only thing I’m disappointed in is that I didn’t try this system sooner.

This is my 4th year using this bucket, and it continues to work GREAT. I bought it pre-drilled and use the red nipples and the hanger. Both kids and bummer lambs adapt readily and for all this time it has continued to hold up to all the banging and chaos. I’ve had a couple of nipples chewed a bit and have had to replace them, but aside from that this is a wonderful, durable feeding bucket that you will be very happy with.
