I absolutely grasp the $200 cost savings and love your videos. When I calculate the hours involved I could save money buying a new feeder with a warranty. I do however enjoy a project like this just so I can say I did it. Great explanation of how to do all of this. You deserve a lot more subscribers. You just got a new one today from me.

[@TheWaterSwatters]

Thanks! I always appreciate kind words!!!!

[@ltoutdoorsman]

Man thats a pretty cool feeder!! Nothing better than building something yourself for less money!!

[@TheWaterSwatters]

Shoot yeah....it's the only way us poor people can have nice things. Lol at least that what I tell my kiddos!

[@ltoutdoorsman]

@@TheWaterSwatters LOL I'd Rather be poor on earth and rich in heaven then be rich in man's eyes

[@Mightiflier]

[@TheWaterSwatters]

I couldn't bring myself to buy one they're expensive when someone else puts em together.

[@0dteESmini]

this is great man

[@TheWaterSwatters]

Thanks!!!

[@jkgkjgkijk]

I learned something

[@michaelmello9510]

Bro I love your videos you use a lost art that is called common sense 🤙🤙🤙

[@TheWaterSwatters]

Lol thanks!!

[@liprippingwithblake5613]

Love the video brother, but my question is how the hell do you refill it with corn? Gotta tote a ladder out there to it and climb it with several bags of corn? Back the side by side up to it and stand in the back?

[@TheWaterSwatters]

I have an A-frame ladder I leave out in the woods. Sometimes I use the bucket of the tractor or the bed of the pickup pulled along side

[@msmith8401]

Try cutting oil and going slower with the hole saw next time

[@scottgager5490]

great video

[@TheWaterSwatters]

Thanks!!!!

[@Dylanhood25]

This might be a stupid question but how do you fill it just get up on a ladder?

[@gaelewis6623]

Did you have any problems with that set cause that's what I want to do?What about clogging and moisture?

[@TheWaterSwatters]

No I'm still using it and it's running fine. Been more than a year since I made it and a couple weeks ago I was hog hunting over it. Got 2 hogs in that video if you're interested.

[@crustymarine86]

Without funneling does the corn just sit at the bottom?

[@donjaun1423]

thats awesome. but will it be ok if it gets rained in?

[@TheWaterSwatters]

It has a lid on it. I haven't had a problem with the rain and I've been running it off and on for almost a year now

[@metalkingtohorses]

i want one for my horse that doesnt spray the food around, ant suggestions?

[@yeetpotato5096]

Do you think ratchet straps and a 4 by 4 post would hold the feeder up with corn?

[@TheWaterSwatters]

It would hold it up alright, but it might tip over easy. That real wide base makes it hard for the wind and critters to knock it over

[@bryanmcpherson3576]

Better paint it with flat paint to keep it from rusting

[@ctford27]

If you want maximum penetration with those little arrows I think a magnus killer bee with no bleeders would be best. They zip thru everything like it's not even there. Love the channel brother.

[@TheWaterSwatters]

I'll have to look into those. Pretty sure I have 2 Montecs left after I use up those I'll have to try something else.

[@QuiqueSRios]

HOW MANY POUNDS OF CORN DID U PUT IN SIDE ??

[@TheWaterSwatters]

It will hold 200lbs

[@dustinh4175]

You made a moose feeder

[@TheWaterSwatters]

Lol the camera angle didn't do it much justice. I could've drove my truck under that thing!

[@jamesluke5910]

Rearrange your teeth 😂

[@BagelsandBoars]

Question: I need the feeder to feed when I'm not there. Is there a timer? Also, I found a bunch of barrels for 10.00 per. I think I should be less than $100.00 per.

[@TheWaterSwatters]

Yeah the motor has a little computer that allows you to preset times this one has up to 4 and it will also let you set how long you want the feed plate to spin.

[@BagelsandBoars]

@@TheWaterSwatters thnx. I'll be making 3 next weekend. Hoping they attract deer... but really hogs!!! 🐷🐖🐽
