Here are a couple pics of a big feeder I built last year. Built it on skids, leveraging the outback feeders design. Skid is 2"x4" tubing. Legs are 2" pipe. Barrel is 40" inside diameter by 2' tall, was a 4' piece of ductwork from the local cotton gin revamp, cut it in half, built two identical feeders. Lid was fabbed at a sheetmetal shop in Fredericksburg. Spinner is sandwiched between two 24" diameter plates, keeps the deer, coons, cows, etc from getting to the spinner. Motor, battery and timer are housed in the ammo can hanging under the plates. Doubles as demand protien feeder as I also built 4 port drop tube unit out of 4" square tubing that bolts to the bottom of feeder in place of the spinner & plates combo.
