I just picked one of these up used for super Cheap and I am going to grease the motor before placing in the wood . Thank you for sharing this info with everyone . Great Idea to prevent ever having the problem from the start !
Thank you for your tip. I have two brand new feeders in my garage I am fixing to set. I will be sure to pack them with grease to prevent those problems from occurring. I apprecoate your recommendation.
Thanks brother for the show and tell...I was about to purchase one and something told me go see youtube....glad I did....seems like more aggravation than I have patience for...my deer would not be happy
Thanks for your help on this. I just put a new timer on mine and have had trouble with it since day one... Now, Maybe, I can get it to working again... Thanks again...
I just bought the same feeder and I live in West Texas and we have all kinds of dust and dirt that blows around here so thanks for the tip on the grease
I appreciate the comment. I had mine for about 3 years until it got destroyed by something. I’m assuming a deer was under it when it kicked on and it spooked it. It broke all the legs and the barrel.
I have one of these feeders. Only problem i had was the original motar burn out after 3 months of use contacted the company wanted to charge me 50 bucks to replace it and make me pay shipping told them no so went to Walmart bought a new mortar and bottom set up installed it now 3 years no problems. Beisde them not honoring they 1 year warranty for a motar come to find out was messed up from factory not big fan of them for that but now feeder works and still flinging corn . Have to say the 5 gallon bucket feeds from moultrie work and haven't had any problems out of them so i highly recommend them over this feeder cheaper and also allows you to get 2 hanging feeders for the same price of this feeder and there customer support is top notch especially if you have ?'s about they products
As you already know they are not the most expensive model out there and if you do a review search on them, there's is some negativity. However, we have 2 of them and as long as you set them up like this, you shouldn't have any issues. Ours have been running for 2 years flawlessly.
The only issue i came across was using the analog control unit. The control unit is incredibly easy to use but the feeding dispenser has one speed, ultra fast. I just purchased a new control unit that has different settings so I can now adjust it.
Hi I'm using a deer feeder for the first time it's the wildgame model #T6DC I can set it for 5,10,15 or 20 seconds. My question is how many pounds of corn will it throw for these time periods. Thanks
I would recommend giving these to a friend and getting a good gravity feeder ;) I’ve experienced it spook mature bucks as well. My friend says his sounds like a dinner bell in his area.
Suggestions use a 55gal. Drum feeder, also water will drip off plus it's heaver and won't blow over then you can put THE FEED SAVER inside of it . It is made of polyurethane a wonderful Inner liner with it's own overlapping lid, Condicated water will drip off of it. Suggestion dill five holes at the bottom of the drum so any will drip out. Then insert the feed saver And then you can also use all the different types of feed even proteins and have a better control of your feed and make a greater animal on timely manner. Watch our video so cool
We have a wildgame innovations feeder and we’ve tried TWO new 6V batteries and the feeder won’t come on, there is a 6V solar panel on the feeder as well but the feeder doesn’t work. The fuse is good and I’m out of ideas of what could be wrong.
How many days does this last you on the setting you mentioned. I have a ton of deer to feed and I have to drive an hour 1 way to check it. A give or take couple weeks to a month would be awesome to find. Out. This is my first feeder so I haven't the slightest idea.
Well, it really depends. Mine lasted me 4 years until something knocked it over and destroyed it. If your finances allows you to get a better one that's what I would do. However these are not bad for the money.
I have found success using powder graphite, spray silicone, or dry lubes instead of grease and wd-40. none of the products collect dust but lubricate as well as greasy or oil based lubes.
40 sec feed? Are you a corn baron? That would eat through that barrel real quick. I'm more of a give em a taste and come back mentality, especially since we have hogs.

Great tips. My feeders have been going strong for 10 years. I feed for 7 seconds twice a day. 🐗🦌
Thank you for your tip. I have two brand new feeders in my garage I am fixing to set. I will be sure to pack them with grease to prevent those problems from occurring. I apprecoate your recommendation.
I am going to put out a feeder for the first time and going to do everything that you suggest . Thank you so much for the advice.

Nathin Jwanouskos no problem bud, just set it up right and it will do you fine for years!
Thanks man. That’s very helpful info👍👍
I’m very impressed with your video , and I’ll be using one of those feeders next season. ..

Nice! I will put this info to good use with my feeder. Thank you!
Bought a property with an old Moultrie feeder and had no idea where to start...thanks.
I got the same game feeder and that helps me out a lot thank you
Your welcome, good luck!

Thanks for the advice. I just got mine in today. My old spinner quit on my this year and my dad swears by this manufacturer. So I'll give it a shot.

My Dad has these on all four of his feeders. He's been running all these for over two years with no issues. I'm headed to the ranch now. Thanks again.
Nice Video, Thank You. Tim
Thanks, I plan to buy one of these tomorrow. Your advice will save me some headaches.
Good info . Thanks 😊
Have you seen the Moultrie ( all -in-one ) $43 feeder
Fast set up, very easy carry on 4 wheeler & works wonderfully
The only issue i came across was using the analog control unit. The control unit is incredibly easy to use but the feeding dispenser has one speed, ultra fast. I just purchased a new control unit that has different settings so I can now adjust it.
just bout ours in July and won't feed out the pellets(mixed with corn) it keeps getting stuck from inside the barrel any suggestions?
How can you keep them from getting stolen ?
Thanks man can you do a video on how to set your timer to feed
Hi I'm using a deer feeder for the first time it's the wildgame model #T6DC I can set it for 5,10,15 or 20 seconds. My question is how many pounds of corn will it throw for these time periods. Thanks

That’s why you set it for once a day at 12
Thx for the info!!!!
Nice job!

I mixed some sweet feed with corn. Big mistake as the sweet feed takes on condensation and jams up. Use dry corn only
I just got the 270lb feeder on clearance for $37 I figured it's worth that for my first feeder
I’ll try this today
How many days does this last you on the setting you mentioned. I have a ton of deer to feed and I have to drive an hour 1 way to check it. A give or take couple weeks to a month would be awesome to find. Out. This is my first feeder so I haven't the slightest idea.
Good stuff
great video Thank
Thanks for watching, hope it helps!
when do you start hunting sheds
Here come the power!
Is this the same kind of feeder people use for hog trapping?
Thank you
Welcome
thanks a million
I added a drip edge along bottom of feeder water stays away now
That’s a great idea!
greatvideo, but Who is this made? skogsmus, rats, pigeons forest, or deer? I do not think it is selective enough.
Well, I'm not sure what you mean but the title clearly states "deer feeder". I am sure you could use it for other purposes. Thanks for watching.
-Mike
Would you recommend this for my first deer feeder?
Well, it really depends. Mine lasted me 4 years until something knocked it over and destroyed it. If your finances allows you to get a better one that's what I would do. However these are not bad for the money.

Nice comment Roy !! I agree, we used what we had and it has worked, next time I will do what you just explained! Thanks for the info.
Mike
I put shorting on my'n. bio safe too.
My dad had the same problem with his last season...I gotta show him this
It will help you Rob. I thought oit was junk until I done these few steps. Let me know how it works out for you.
Do the raccoons eat most of your corn ?

All equipment requires maintenance all part of it!
NASA 1 to hunter... ...
YOU AINT GOT TO MEASURE SHIT, JUST LAY A BUBBLE LEVEL ON TOP OF THE CONTROL BOX . IN FACT INSTALL A PERMANENT BUBBLE LEVEL ON THE BOX .
