Adding a protein feeder to the listing $350 for both Only reason I am selling is because I bought a new low profile feeder. This feeder has a few extras you don’t see on most tripod feeders. Adjustable legs for raising height or leveling. Welded stops to secure the barrel at the top so there is no spinning or swaying. Middle braces to each leg. (Used to have bolts to attach but a couple broke off so I use wire) It could use a paint job while it’s apart and maybe replace the cable. Has a Spintech timer that’s a couple years old and works great. No need for a varmint cage. Details on the timer below. I am 30 miles south of Brownwood and will deliver within 30 miles 12 Volt Heavy Duty Motor • Hinged Door With Latch • Bracket To Hold “EZ” Timer • SpinTech Patented Positive On Demand Open/Close Spinner Plate • Adjustable Feed Flow Wing Nut Easily Increases Or Decreases Feed Rate • Powder Coated Metal • 10 Amp Fuse Protection • Digital “EZ” Timer • Feeds Up To 8 Times A Day • 1-30 Second Feed Cycles • Adjustable Motor Speeds • Variable Day Selector • Test Button (10 Second Delay) • Large Display • Battery Life Display ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/02/full-19780-444763-img_5762.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/02/full-19780-444764-img_5764.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/02/full-19780-444765-img_5763.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/02/full-19780-444766-img_5767.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/02/full-19780-444767-img_5765.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/02/full-19780-444768-img_5798.png)

I have that same winch feeder and wouldn’t even consider changing or selling it.

They are great. Mine was 10 years old when I got it 10 years ago.

How high is the lowest point off the ground?
I ask because I have Elk that love to put their faces up there.

Feeder is currently taken apart. My best estimate is 6 1/2 feet without having to put it back together. I suppose a person could add longer extensions?
3’ leg extensions
Main posts are 12’
Stops are 28” from top
Barrel height is 4’
14’ up minus 28” for stops =11.66’
11.66’ minus barrel height of 4’
= 7.66’
Now subtract angle🤷🏼♂️ safe to say subtract a foot? For a overall ground clearance of 6 1/2 feet 🤷🏼♂️
