Feeder Sinking

[elliscountyhog]

Extreme river bottom mud and pigs. I am trying to keep my feeders from sinking and falling. Concrete blocks or Tpost? I searched and most I seen said tpost but just curious if anyone uses tpost in extremely soft ground will they lean/sink as well?

Feet on your legs?

I always put a concrete block under legs to keep them from sinking and then secure with t-post. 8" x 8" x 2" block from Home Depot. Or similar.

Feeder Sinking

Something to this extent depending on post size/type/shape. My feeder legs had round feet on them and I haven’t had a single issue

I drive a T post at the same angle as the leg as far as I can get into the ground, then I use two U clamps to clamp leach leg to the T post, holds it in place pretty good.

Yup. Looks like some of this river bottom water I have dealt with all year. Thanks fellows. I rather use the blocks from home depot as they are easier and don't have to buy tpost.

Anyone stuck cattle panels under there feeders? Does this really help keep them from digging holes?

Yea you know so the feeder can walk to where the animals are and spin corn

Not the greatest picture, but you can get the idea. Running the post parallel to the legs is wise. One day i need to change mine.

I'm about to get some wire and stone to put under the corn feeder to try to keep the hole the dang varmints are digging from growing. Will see how that works. (Also about to begin using some Dukes.)

I don't know that any of that will work in conditions like the pic above.

Take the legs off and put a crank up on a tree then your problem is gone

My vote is for both.............or take Mr. Smart's advice and add feet/plates on to the bottom of your legs then drive T-Post to wire to your legs.

If you have hogs, they will figure out how to dump the feeder. You must use t-post (drive at same angle off leg) or be prepared for a disappointing find, one day.

This would be a great idea as well.
