I get that. But I was wondering based on regular hunting season/off season.
I like running corn all off season. Driving to Houston to Sterling City it might be cheaper in the long run for me to get a 600lb feeder. Probably run 4-5 seconds in off season 7 seconds during season.
I haven't bought one yet so there's no way for me to tell really. I was just looking for an average. I know a lot of guys own them and every one uses different times.
All I know is I topped off my 600# feeder with the timer and set it throw 1 second in the morning and 1 second in the evening. That was at the end of December. I went out to my lease to get my stuff as the landowner sold the property and it was a little over half full.

I usually set mine to throw about a sack of corn a week during the season which is around 5-7 seconds per throw 2x per day depending on the feeder. So at that rate it'll last 12 weeks if set perfectly but it's usually +/- a week. I get 'em pretty close with some tinkering. It makes it easier to keep up with when they need filling if I keep it close to a sack a week.
During the off season I set it to throw a couple seconds two times per day and it lasts much longer. I don't know how long exactly but a long time.
The raccoons do a good job of getting their arms in there and hitting the spinner. Once I have time I plan on adding a spacer to the bottom plate, a short downspout , and a Eliminator spin plate to mine.

This fixed that for me...Home Depot has the plates already cut and sized right.
