Well, sold off some winch ups I had and have a stand that’s pretty much sold as well. But true to my nature of making **** complicated instead of taking what should be enough money for two brand new larger sized stand and fill feeders. I decided to see if I can just save a chunk and take on a project. New with timers/motors I believe I would be looking at $1200-1600 ish for two 600lb units. I think I can beat that and get some welding practice while I’m at it.
Yesterday I had a random thought and did some digging. Some quick googling confirmed that a few TBH brothers had done what I want to shoot for.
The plan is to pick up a approximately 250 gallon propane tank. Believe I have one in decent shape pegged down already. ($100)
That will be my two halves for my feeders.
For timers and motors I have that covered already with the two ladder style tripod feeders I will be replacing with these.
I’m going to shoot for making them just tall enough to fill from the ground but in all honesty even the one stand and fill I have now I fill it out of my truck bed. So bare minimum I want to be able to fill it out of the bed of the truck.
Pics to come.
Anyone with any thoughts or suggestions please chime in.
