Creekrunner, I agree completely and I have likely had the same problems with the same feeders as you have!

Anyone near Rockwall, that goes by the Buccees in Rockwall on a regular basis? I would like to know if they have a supply of the stand and fill feeders (300 or 600 lb), price would be nice also but not a deal killer. I live in Pittsburg and it's a 100 mile trip one way. Thanks Daniel

I cant help you specifically on Rockwall but Im pretty sure that all Bucees are 600# and most of them keep a very large supply. Most will be $499 I believe.

They dont usually keep the timers inside the feeders. They should give to you at checkout but may need to make sure. They will easily fit in a pickup bed and one man can handle but they usually help. The lid could easily blow off in transport, as has been reported by more than one.

If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.

we bought several of the Buc-ees Feeders and they are not bad. However I ran across a feeder from GreenGo - bought 5 of them and the best feeders I have run across in almost 60 years of hunting and buying corn feeders - they are bullet proof and totally reliable and fairly priced I agree 100% best feeder i have ever used
Life is short play hard and never give up.

Yes Plus tax. Corn $9 but WILL NOT ASSIST in loading cause BUCCESS is losing money every bag it sells, This information came straight from the ASST Store Manager's mouth. BUT THEY WILL LOAD A PALLET FOR YOU, Something about that logic simply doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it's just me and my logic. I told the ASST MANAGER that I didn't want BUCCESS TO LOSE MONEY on my account so I DID NOT PURCHASE ANY CORN. Thanks Daniel

BTW the 3 Buccees employees sent to help load the feeder stood around for 20 minutes watching me tie the feeder down. Owners need a real picture of why they are losing money on corn. Daniel

Daniel Oh I get it and forgive me if I came off wrong. I actually didn't go to Buccees today and instead bought 30 bags at TSC just because they would load it. My lower back is out.

Buccee's does not seem to do any advertising, using the corn and ice as means to get customers. I don't think they are making money on those items. Once or twice they have offered to help load but most of the time they don't. In our area it has become a hassle to shop at Buccee's so I don't. The co-op has the corn for an extra .50 cents a bag and they load it.

I dont know if they make money on corn and ice but it gets so many people in there that they easily could lose on those and be ok with it. I always but it by the pallet so ive never considered the loading issue.
