My DIY Stand and Fill Feeder

[LFD2037]

Decided to make a stand and fill feeder. I hate coons so I went overboard on keeping them out!

Very nice! Should darn sure work! Very good

[LFD2037]

Thanks! I could've made it better but this will work pretty good. I'm going to use t-posts to keep it where I put it. Should last a long while & I don't have a ton of money in it.

I like it!
Nice work!

I’m about to build a couple very similar. I’m glad you posted pics using the expanded metal for the cage I got a couple of sheets and didn’t even think about using it.

Looks good. Nice job

Just to be clear, I wouldn’t use the expanded metal for the corn to shoot thru. It would block too much and it’d pile up under the feeder. I only used it to protect the control unit. The corn comes out of the protected gap above the exp. metal.

That's a cool design with the seperation from the spinner and control unit. Would love to see how that ends up throwing corn. The problems with a lot of the stand and fill feeders is they mainly pile up underneath. That was good thinking ahead.

I’ll test it out tomorrow. I’m hoping it chunks it 40’. The spinner is sandwiched between 2 20ga. sheets. As long as it doesn’t bounce around while being ejected, it should fling it pretty far. I’m using an All Season 12V control unit with their flapped spinner plate.

Yes I noticed you have it clean all the way out with the sheet metal. I'd think it should do well. Post back what you find out.

Now that is efficient and compact. I like that a lot.

total height ?

total height ?

Right at 6’. It could be easily made shorter. I have no problem with 50lb bags so it was a height I’m comfortable with.

[LFD2037]

I used 1.5” angle that is 1/8” thick. Easily strong enough for 500+ lbs.
