Platinum Line Horse Buckets & Barn Gear

Platinum horse buckets and feeders: choose by job

Choose the KD-120 20-quart flat-back bucket for hanging feed or water, the KD-121 28-quart tub for a fixed wall feeding station, or a corner or pan feeder when your layout calls for one. Platinum Line brings K&D’s heavier-duty feeding options together so you can compare the setup before choosing a product.

Use the guided Bucket Matchmaker or compare bucket capacities.

The standard began around Thoroughbreds in Texas and New Mexico. Those powerful, reactive athletes found brittle plastic, weak handles, awkward mounting, and disposable thinking fast. Toolmaker Ken Fomby began building better molds because the gear available to his family would not survive the work. Read the racehorse-origin story.

Start with the KD-120 Platinum bucket

The KD-120 20 Qt Flat Back Bucket is the clearest expression of the Platinum standard: thick-walled high-impact construction, a one-piece perimeter metal reinforcement ring, the patented Mane & Tail Saver, abuse-test proof, and a plain-English Platinum Bucket Promise.

Build the rest of the feeding system

• KD-121 28 Qt Wall-Mount Feed Tub: fixed feeding capacity for stalls and daily routines.
• KD-122 Feed Saver Ring: pairs with the KD-121 to help keep more feed in the tub.
• KD-136 Corner Feeder: fixed corner-stall feeding for barns that prefer a corner setup.
• KD-168 Pan Feeder: floor-level feeding for stalls, pens, paddocks, and ground routines.
• KD-172 Mineral Feeder: pasture and livestock mineral-block protection.

Proof before adjectives

A product is not strong because the label says “heavy-duty.” Judge material behavior, reinforcement, mounting, contact points, and service life. Watch K&D’s stomps, kicks, drops, crush, and run-over demonstrations, then choose the product that fits the abuse.
