heres the motor out of a All Seasons - 7 years and still works
If you do decide to go with a feeder - get yourself or make yourself a good varmint cage - damn Coons.Also some cooper tubing for the wires etc for the solar panel.
we've been using all seasons for yrs never had a problem with them. have them set up with the solar charger.

The solar panel All Season puts out aint to bad either .Usually the first thing that happens to a solar panel is the sun cracks them - then they get water in them ..have not had that problem with the All Season solar.
was looking to supplement feed before the season, during and after the season to get them through the winter. It's rough mountainous country for around here and the deer have a hard go of it. We are trying to help build the herd too.
We are planting spring and fall crops a for the deer.
I like the gravity feeders with the bucket on top. What size dia pipe is that? 3" ? 4" ? I'd rather spend a few bucks on the feeder and more on the feed.
Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.
PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

Metal T-post there buddy !! takes care of the hogs and cows..
Roger - how the hell are ya keeping them damn Coons off that solar panel - I had to put a varmint cage and then run the wires from the solar panel through cooper tubing just to get the squirrels and coons from eating them up...
never have had to much of problem with coons. we got them staked with t post now.

We have a bad coon problem in North La. They can tear a spinner up in short order and they are much stronger than I gave them credit for. I built a varmint cage out of 2x4 dog wire for one feeder and the little pest broke all of the welds on the wire and still got to the spinner on that feeder. I have pics of as many as 7-8+ at a time under some of them with quite a few of them hanging from the spinners.
I learned the last couple of years that they can't get to the spinner on hanging feeders, they'll just slip off of the bbl. They still eat some of the feed from the ground, but at least they don't tear up the spinners.
Just had another spinner (On Time) on a 55gal tripod torn up this year by the little pests. I stopped by Academy and bought a varmint cage for around $14. It is about 12-14" square, screws to the bbl around the spinner, and has an access door. Hopefully it works.
I have several hanging feeders and may end up converting several others. They are definitely easier to fill.
Wish I had a closer photo, but you get the idea of the self feeder, and you can see the corn in the one cut out on this side almost covered by a fence post....
I"ll do better whenever I get to the other side once...
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
I have a bad hog problem on one of the properties I hunt, so I'm going to put a similar pen up. I was thinking of just buying a 100' roll of 3' tall hog wire and building a 31.5' dia pen with t-post every 8'.
