Are there any disadvantages to this heaight vs a taller feeder? Im thinking the pigs would estroy the varmint cage. I like this stand and fill option though.

The cages are made of 1/4" round horse panel, I've yet to have anyone say that the pigs hurt them. Any feeder from 450 lbs-up they don't even anchor them down. The guys running the 300 lb ones usually do one anchor underneath like a tower and have also had no issues as far as I've heard.

If the pigs ever learn how to use an angle grinder we will go back to the drawing board

I have pretty much switched to all ground fill feeders. We have six on one ranch and two on another(need 4 more).
We have had some for over 5 years now
He have some big hogs and they havent hurt them in the least bit.

Have any of yal put a deflector on the bottom so the corn wont sit directly under the feeder?

What is the advantages for a short feeder" filling?

That was my next question. And how many have had a pass through shot hit the feeder? 2 years ago a lease member shot his game camera after it passed through the deer

I would say filling is easier transporting is easier hogs cant spread the legs and knock them over.

One of mine got hit in the leg, but put a dent that's all. If for some reason you hit the main feeder body, easy fix with jbweld or silicone.

Only issue Ive had was I didn't like the orginal coon cage it was to small. Thus why I modified mine. Ramball's cage are bigger then what came on my TWS oldtimers.

I've got barrel feeders but I think I'm going to drop them down this summer. I like this design a lot

SniperRAB dropped his only issue he had is cages. Turkeys and coons could still get in some

Yes Sir...But going to the Eliminator Plates has helped a TON Amigo...I woll never have another Tall Feeder...I like being able to back the Ranger right up to them and fill from the Back...Simpler, Safer and as far as any corn underneath...they will get to it trust me..have a Pic I am trying to find where 3 does are on there knees..

HATE EM

Hate EM EVEN MORE!!! Still trying to figure out how he got in there

There will be a tad of Corn left in the Center but thats what Slick Heads are for

Sniper, my wife would love to help with the coon eradication. She had more fun smoking them then shooting her first deer.

May I suggest a corn pile, and 1lb charge of Tannerite.

Shoulda used horse panel scootress

Low Budget Project Amigo...those Eliminator Plates were the Ticket

Shot you an email Rmball

Ready made antler trap

Ramball how do you attach the lid to the top of the feeder?

It just sits on top, it's all angle iron and 14 gauge sheet. Heavy enough to not get blown off
