What is the difference in the units? Not fully understanding what I get for $150 vs $80- perhaps a better way to ask would be is one timer unit that much better than another. We feed twice a day, nothing special.

One has "the timer" which i feel is one of the best if not the best timer out there. They run about $60 just the timer alone.
The other has an all seasons branded timer that is the ssme timer as a ton of others. They work but i have jad several of these (different brands but same timer) crap out after a couple yrs

I run the Timer in all my corn feeders. IMO, the best corn feeder timer out there. I run the ASF timer in my ASF 12V timed protein feeders because the ASF timer has a Low-Med-high setting. The Timer will slam the protein against the inside wall and break it up. On the ASF 12V Low setting, the protein comes out nice and full pieces.. I say all that to say I have not had a problem from either the Timer or ASF timer.

I run 14 “the timers” and have only had to change 3. All 3 were because of raccoons shorting them out by grounding wires on the feeder box. I triple wrap wiring to insure that doesn’t happen any more. One set of AA batteries in the timer to start each year and no problems past that. It has worked for me now for 8 years. Before that I ran moultrie 6 volts and every trip to the stand was a game of roulette. It amazes me how people spend large money on leases and cheap out by 20-40 dollars on timers.

Sounds like I'm in the minority here but I'm not a fan of THE TIMER. Returned my first one as it was supposedly a "bad" batch and continued to have problems with the second. I prefer the cheap factory digital timers. As for the eliminator spinner plate I am a fan. However it is just something else to go wrong and for those of us who don't get to visit the lease near as often as I like I prefer to keep it simple and minimize things that can go wrong.

Same results here....6 feeders with the Timer. Four anywhere from 12-14 years old. 2 that are 4-5 years. Had to replace one of the newer ones as it was in the “bad batch” per West Texas feed and would lose 30 secs a month on the time. Spun and worked fine otherwise. No problems out of the new one or the other one since.
