Where can I find an industrial hopper for a pellet stove?

Question:I am designing a remodel for a farm couple. They would like a hopper accesible on the outside of the home in which they could take a skid steer or bobcat to load the hopper with corn pellets for their pellet stove. Is there a place where I can find this type of hopper or will it have to be custome made?

Check farm equipment sales. There are all kinds of hoppers used for storage of farm products and materials. While you are at the design stage, forget using a loader to fill the hopper; think of an auger or chain chute type of loader also available at farm equipment sales.
