Where did you find them for $300 new? Locally they are $395 plus tax.

Ah.. I believe the protein feeder is $300. Offered $400 for both of them but no luck.

Thanks. Why use a varmint cage though if the eliminator spinner plates states that a cage is not needed? Does this sling out the corn a good distance?


Because raccoons ignore the directions.
. There's your answer

agree ... I have one feeder, winch up, that I put a eliminator plate on, but get 2-3 good size coons doing gymnastics on the timer box, it tends to slide down on the brackets to where the eliminator plate doesn't come into contact with bottom of barrel ... rendering it ineffective for it's designed use.

Once you get the timer box set where you want it put a hex head self tapping screw through the adjustable arm and the box no more slippage that eliminator spinner plate banging up and down will loosen the wing nuts . Or chunk the wing nut and use a 1/4 x 20 nylon lock nut

Yesterday I was out and about looking for the 12 volt all seasons control unit and couldn't find the one listed at $69.95. I did find the one listed at $109.00 though but wondering what's the difference between the two other than the timer. The motor and box look the same. Do you fellas know of any other differences between the two to justify the $40 difference?

Yes, the more expensive one comes with "The Timer," a very good and reliable timer. It's worth it IMO.

As others have said, spend the money on a reliable 12V unit with box-mounted solar panel and Eliminator plate. You will save money and frustration in the long run. Buy locally, or I can ship as well.

Those used All Seasons feeders were a good deal, if they are still for sale.

Thanks. Looks like I'm going to bite the bullet and get the Evolution unit. Local place has it in stock. I'll be mounting it to my 55 gallon barrel and not sure where to mount the solar panel too. Any ideas?

I'm still trying to get those 2 used all seasons feeders. Waiting on a reply from the seller.

Yes, mount it right to the box. If done right there will be no cable exposed for the coons to mess with.

If you can’t mount directly to the box, be sure to run the wiring through metallic conduit and anchor it at both ends. I had much frustration till I listened to that advice and did it right.

Was the corn slung out in a circle or just dumped under the feeder in a pile? If it just dumped out either your spinner plate is too far from the hole or your hole is too big. This doesn't explain the previous occurence, though. I'm just spit balling, throwing stuff out for the brain trust.

Slung out in a circle. It's a cheap Moultrie barrel feeder with a 6 volt set up. Found a local guy who has two used #300 all seasons feeders that I plan on taking off his hands and will replace the broken feeder. Although my uncle was out there this past week and said it was working fine so not sure what the problem is with it but I'm guessing it's the timer.

Well I finally got around to buying the Two Complete #300 All Seasons Feeders and an older #100 All Seasons Hercules Road Feeder all for $500 from a guy I found on Craigslist. The road feeder needs a bit of TLC and some paint. The top of the lid has some rust that I would like to clean up and paint the whole feeder. What do you guys recommend on cleaning the rust and what type of paint should I use? All 3 feeders work great.

Sand paper and Krylon. Not being a smartxxx but it's really that simple. I found krylon brand spray will last about 3 times longer than the off brand. Coverage and time.....

Thanks. That was my initial thought but just wasn't sure if there was a better way of going about it like using some special rust inhibitor and paint. I'll take a wire brush and knock off any lose rust then prime and paint it.

Brush off the rust with a wire brush and then paint some phosphoric acid on those spots and let it sit, then rinse with water and dry it. That will convert any left over rust (even the stuff you can't see) from iron oxide to iron phosphate which makes an excellent surface coating that paint will stick to quite well. Phosphoric acid is used in industrial pretreatment equipment for manufactured steel parts prior to painting or powder coating, but you can get it in a small bottle from Home Depot i think or a paint store. For the rest of the paint that is sound, just do what TEXASLEFTY said. Scuff it good with sandpaper and wipe down with mineral spirits or similar to get the dust and oxidized paint cleaned off. Rustoleum red primer is some pretty sturdy stuff.
