I like them, and I'm watching and waiting. Look at the dreaded hb, can't stand the price when I have a welder. But without a press, y'all have it going on. This is a tough crowd, very hard to please. I'm ok with adding my own motor and solar panel. I would look at two angle pices of metal to turn the corn from directely under the feeder, once you add goat/coon wire to keep them away from the motor you will have a huge pile of corn under it. Keep at it I will buy.

I like the basic design and agree with other comments about a heavy-duty varmit cage,, etc. What I can't see in the pictures is a way to anchor the whole thing. At a minimum I would want to see some holes in the base plates that I could drive minimum 5/8 anchors through.

Here are a few pictures of what we have going together. Here is the 450 out in the field. I'll have one of our timer boxes and cage in a couple weeks but needed something throwing corn on this spot  Here is a 1000# capacity. It will be on legs with a ladder and platform. (Note: we moved the sight glass lower)    Here are some of our timer boxes, ladder brackets, rose brackets for the varmint cage, etc, etc.  I'll have some pictures of those completed soon. It's been pretty time consuming getting my CNC drawings correct.
