Recommendations on feeder motors/timers?

If you got 1 season out of a 6 volt timer...you got your moneys worth.

I guess we have a little higher expectations.

So you replaced a $ 39.00 6 volt timer with a $ 140 set up...and you cant believe how much better the new unit is???

BAHAHAHAHA!!!....thats some funny stuff right there!

If we are going to compare apples to apples the actual "The Timer" timer is $69 compared to the $39 WGI timer.

Sorry...thats the complete WGI 6 volt timer/motor/spinner unit for $ 39....not just the controller....apple to oranges!

Like I said....I have sold over 200 of the 12 volt....only 1 defect!!!! Spin it how you want.

Wow....they have really cheapened those things up looking at the pic on the Academy site....no wonder they are disposable.

I know the Remington timers used to be $39 back a couple of eyars ago and figure that since they were similar they were $39 as well. I guess they found a way to do it even cheaper..

The 12 volt units are great. Never looked at the 6 volt. Your right...Ultramatic and the "timer" are the only units that have a good track record

I've got a Triple C that i've been using for around fifteen years with never a single problem. I've got another feeder that i retro-fitted with The Timer. No issues with it either.

Some times a fella has to take a break from the number crunching to keep folks from handing out bad advice..

The Timer is all I use. Super simple and bullet proof.

I have used Texas Hunter Models or Monarchs (Bought them both at discounts at the TTHA Shows) and have only had one Texas Hunter Go out and Zero Monarchs...I have put out 4-6 feeders a year for the last 21 yrs..(Texas Hunter was my first LOL)

I actually have not had a chance to review the everlast yet. I set them in June and have not been back to the ranch since. I payed $40.00 a piece for my everlast unit's with the redneck timer on sale at academy. I payed the same or more for the 6 volt wildgame with timer at academy. I replaced all parts on both units and they are broke again that's why I replaced them. I did buy a the timer to replace the timer unit on the wildgame then the motor broke shortly after. I can't speak on the 12vlt wildgame but the 6 volts are no good. I live 9.5 hrs away from the place I hunt and can't continue to have broken feeders every time I go down. Falfurrias and Kingsville don't have a big selection of parts so u end up over paying for replacement parts for wildgame. I think I payed $35.00 for a wildgame timer only from a local feed store.
