Sometime on the farm, things just have to get done, no matter how cold it is.  And sometimes things just take longer than you thought they would, so a temporary Portable Buddy Heater can sometimes come in handy. 

The Buddy Heater is a liquid propane heater that connects to a 1lb propane cylinder that’s patented radiant with 4,000-9,000 BTU’s. With a hose and filter, the Swivel Regulator allows you to switch from the disposable cylinders to your remote gas supply to keep the heat coming.

Rotate the knob, push, and you’ll be heating up to 225 sq. ft in no time for up to 5.4 hours. The Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) and accidental tip-over safely shut-off ensures you years of comfortable safe heating.

This Portable Buddy is built with Mr. Heater Life Safety System. This system includes the following: 

  • Indoor Safe 
  • Emergency Low Oxygen Safety System 
  • Tip-Over Shut Down System 
  • Designed with Flame Retardant Materials 

According to the website, “The expertly engineered size to BTU ratio is augmented with a fold down handle to give this heater maximum output while retaining a minimalistic footprint.”

Keeping sows in groups with free-access stalls is very popular today: the sows have much freedom to move during gestation and can eat without being disturbed. However, individual feeding of each sow within a group is not normally possible. With the CallBackpro feeding system, you can now do exactly that – at excellent value for money!
