Raccoons spinning Lamco low n throw

[topher]

How is this possible?
Any suggestions on spinner plate- like cut a inch off each side of plate and see what happens?
I have noticed this Lamco 600lb feeder gets empty in about 6 weeks which is not right, I have another one on the lease and set up just like this one. I was looking at the spinner plate and I noticed there mud-dirt on both sides of the plate and of course with coon tracks all over it.
They don’t touch the other ones yet, Thank goodness.
Ideals?
Thanks

Sounds like you need to kill the flies around that feeder.

Over the past 2-3 years they have been making them cheaper and cheaper by cutting corners. They started reducing the diameter of the metal circle plates so now the raccoons can reach them. The older models are built with thicker metal and larger plates.

Kill them

Or maybe add a couple inches of metal around and extend it so they can’t reach

Put a camera on it to make sure those little masked *******s are really stealing your corn.

Maybe some self tapping screws and sheetmetal to make the 'circle' bigger?

There’s no way they can reach my spinner plates. Yours must be different.

Sounds impossible. Those things are the best coon proof feeders on the market.

Will the eliminator plate fit on those? I had to do that with both my ASF and J&L 600# feeders. It was due to squirrels though.

You nailed it on the head. My first one I bought they try to get in there but they can’t, trail cameras are my proof. Now on the other one I have no trail camera on it and of course it’s the newer one. I took pictures of the one they are spinning if someone can post it for me, I will send it to you and y’all can see for yourself.

Dang! Your coons must me jabbing a stick in there and spinning that thang, it’s way up in there.

Do you have the diameter of the old vs. the new from spinner to outer circle?

Stewed, served over cajun rice.

Are the coons reaching the spinner from the hole cut out in the middle of that bottom plate?
If so, just cover the hole by using short self taping screws and a stainless steel bowl.

I know right! I think the next time I go up which will be in September I’m going to measure the plates and if it’s empty I’m go to remove the tips on the end of spinner plate.

Plates should be 30” if I remember correct.
