Several months back A friend and I decided we wanted a larger capacity drum than a standard #55 gallon, and still be easy enough to transport and set up by ourselves in the field. This is what we came up with. This drum will hold #650lbs of feed (13 sacks) and I have a larger, and smaller size available as well. The ladder can be removed when not filling. Needless to say we were happy with the results and his entrepreneurial spirit kicked in, and now we’re interested in what others think? What would one expect to pay for this? We are not selling these, and may never, but depending on the feedback here and elsewhere may help us decide where it goes from here.

I know that container and style of feeder has been on TBH for awhile.....moreso back in the 200Xs. Casey used to own one and maybe still does. I seem to remember him posting a picture of it recently. I remember seeing them in the Big *** Feeder Club, TBH used to have.
Anyway...seems to be a nice feeder. The plastic aspect would concern me with our squirrels and coons....but ifr they can beat that they should be long lasting.

Plastic gets chewed as pointed out. Also I'm just no longer a fan of a feeder I have to climb a ladder to fill. Too dangerous and unnecessary with the quality stand and fills available.
The majority of those you slide out of the truck bed, drag into place and fill n go.
I'm sure that they will work. The three legs plus ladder will help it be solid.
