My hunting partner placed two of these this weekend. I was impressed. When I first saw the motor at the bottom of the hopper I was skeptical. But why? The motor is completely sealed in it's own housing. The battery and electronics are in a box above the feed. I really liked the way it operated, coon proof with the eliminator mechanism.

Only thing I don't know is long term dependability. Anyone run one of these a while? They're $359.00 at Tractor Supply.


An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

I went to TSC site and saw the 300lb tree line corn feeder was 399.00. the 600 lb corn feeder was 499.00. Am I looking at the wrong model?

I'm skeptical of the varmint proof feature. Does it really work? I've seen those spinner plates partially open with corn jammed in there.

Maybe there was a sale that ended. Time will tell on the varmint proof feature.

Mine jammed 3-4 times in the first 6-8 weeks, it was very frustrating. I finally got the plate set at the right height; it's fed reliably since December/January 2x a day every day. Customer service was solid but I don't know if they guy helping me is still with the company. There's another thread on here about that feeder-you can read more in there.

I'd dang sure buy another one at $359, that's a heck of a sale (for the large).

Same, mine clogged till I readjusted. Ran it all deer season till March with no more issues.

I'm thinking of getting the 300lb one this year. I saw there was a Christmas sale $100 and hoping would be another for the offer season to grab one

This is the other thread:

https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/8830480/1

I read back through and it reminded me that part of the jam problem with mine was likely dirty corn/lots of cob. I got mine on sale and since it was boxed the TSC manager discounted it another 10% (it also took them a bit to find it).

I posted on this thread back around 6/9/23 that I had purchased one of the 300 lb. Stand & Fill Treeline feeders.

Been in service just over a year now spinning twice a day. Nary a problem and it looks brand new.

It was/is definitely worth the $399 price.

ya!

I bought 2 of the 300 # model this spring and love them. Have had no problems at all and I have no pictures of coons even trying to get to them. Easy to fill and am entirely satisfied with these feeders

I went to the lease this morning to see if I can repair the cheapy plastic barrel feeder. No Luck! Guess I'm getting one of these here shortly.

Seen these before, are they 2 speed, fast/slow or 3 speed; anybody know the approximate throw radius on different speeds? Thanks

I just set the 350# yesterday and rain perfectly. They put it together and didn't have any jamming issues on the couple test spins. I don't see how coons can get anything and I love how heavy it is. The damm cows wont be able to knock it over and break it like the other cheaper feeders I had. I'm looking forward to bow season overlooking it here shortly. $300 for all metal construction, spinner plate, and 350# limit is Amazing deal for $300. Can't beat that

TSC is the bomb! Bought that 600lb feeder 3 weeks ago tomorrow for $499. After reading it’s on sale now, went back to the store and they generously refunded me the difference. That’s Customer Support!
