The 720lb feeder from academy. Runs off 12 volt battery. Never had any problems out of these. However, do not get the 600lb feeder that runs off 6 volt. Corn will get under the spinner and jam it up.

If you notice in that picture they aren’t even using the legs, they’re completely on the ground reaching up in and just constantly turning the spin plate and then scooping the corn out onto the ground.

Changing a flat spin plate to the Eliminator spin plate that they use on road feeders will stop that. It's spring loaded, and only drops when the motor runs.

Stopped the skwerls from messing with mine.

But unfortunately the coons will empty it and put all your corn on the ground in less than a week. Their new design is extremely poor and I'm am very unhappy with it. I could have bought 4 of the game winner 720lb feeders for what I have in this feeder plus the amount of corn I have lost. I don't really know what to do with it at this point.

They emptied 600 lbs of triple grip the first week I had it out. Did some adjustments, filled it back up and emptied half of it again before I moved it away from the giant pile they were creating and put chicken wire around the bottom and shut it off. Since then I cut some bigger holes in the chicken wire so the corn could sling out better and they still managed to empty the rest of it out. So that's 1200 lbs of triple grip and a $900 feeder. I recommend you stay away until they fix this issue.

I can highly recommend these feeders. I think this
is the 6th or 7th year we have had them out and
some still have the original battery.

Coons can’t get to the corn. They hold 600 pounds.

Yeah, I have 2 of the 720lb, no issues for almost 2 years. Should have just bought another one of those, but thought I was buying a good high quality product...guess not.

I went back to mainly spin feeders this year. I bought 3 dif kinds of the metal ones from academy. The best one by far is the big-A VP feeder. It is high enough for the deer to feed under, and it has a Varmit proof cage. It has used WAY less corn than the other two. Plus it holds 600 LBs.
I have the 720LB no hassle one too and it’s fine but birds and coons still get feed.

I agree, the 200lb short stack gets clogged up. I run the spinner on high and have it at an angle and it helps.
I won’t buy anymore of those.

I looked at that one, but doesn't look like much fun slinging 600lbs of corn up those steps, how is that?

Im pretty active, it’s not bad for me. it’s amazing how much corn you feed red birds and coons.
I took 10 bags over there expecting to fill it up and it had only used 4. I have it set on twice a day, med speed and 8 seconds.
I need two more
