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 think the legs are a bit to short.  I hope there is a coon pinned under the control box too.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

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
