My feeder is not troughing as far as I think it should or as long as it should. I can't figure it out!!



Close up of the motor. What is wrong with this fool thing?



Could this be the problem?



What a kick in the nuts!!!

At least you have time to get it up and rolling before bow season starts. Sorry about the luck though.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

Ouch...

I had a hanging feeder held by rope break on me twice in the same day, the second time it ended up like yours. Crunch.

New timer/motor and new rope and I hope I am in business....

Have not seen wire break like that. Was there an obvious kink in it or anything? Or just old?

Dad and I were about an hour and a half into setting up a winch tripod feeder that looked like Dr. Frankenstein set it up, when I looked over to him and said, "I thought we were putting these winch up feeders to make things easier."

we had a good laugh, sucks on the broken cable that is surprising
