I seen a couple of requests for info about the feeder fillers using a leaf blower over the past few months. I thought I would post up the pics that I had of the one that Trail Boss made. This works great. Just BE SURE and ground the thing when you use it or you'll really wish you had.

If you look down inside it there is a piece metal that is placed at an angle in the throat of the T. You have to play around with it some to figure out what is the best angle and how much space to leave at the botton for the air to move past. It has to be at an angle to keep the air from blowing the corn back up into the bucket. I hope that helps explain it better. If you PM Trailboss he might be able to explain the process better. To ground mine I took a six foot length of copper wire and attached it to the PVC pipe with a self tapping screw and then clamped the other end to a large spike. Like a heavy tent stake or a large timber spike. You can get them at Lowes, Home Depot etc.

ours took about a 50# load per minute, worked us to death
get a super good blower or else you will be changing it out after extensive use. make sure you start the blower unit before putting feed in as it will not be as likely to clog this way.
BTW- did someone say it will shock the houie out of you if you do not ground it???? that's right!!! got the tingle to prove it...
