Motor issues from even the popular brands are fairly consistent.A wheel driven model might be worth looking into.


I never saw one either, but a friend that owned a ranch down south turned me onto them.

I've not seen another brand that was as good. I don't doubt good ones exist, I simply know that Venado feeders brand has stood up to abuse. I think my first controller had an issue, but other than that, it was fix it on the spot, I think the cig lighter plug in end had an issue, we fixed that, and they sent us a new one in the mail on top of it.

The venado is steel... not galv flashing type material FWIW. Welded, not riveted or bolted.

Check out Texas Hunter Products, Road Feeder. It's a 100 lb, remote control, heavy duty feeder. You can put it on your vehicle, move to a friends vehicle. I have two of them. It works off a 12 volt deer feeder battery. Has remote like a car alarm. You can hook up to plug also. Had the first one for 5 yrs. I haven't had a problem. If you use a pull behind, more tires on the ground mean more problems, if its muddy, harder to go in mud, harder to turn around too. Just my opinion

If you are in west or south Texas, there will be flat issues. A pull behind will have a different wheel base. Lots cactus, mesquite thorns, those tires will be thin.
