Sneaky Feed weekend

[k9trainer]

Tubby asked for some install pics so I thought I'd go ahead and start a new thread. I have been using the Texas Hunters Products timer system.


I really like the simplicity of their timer and the way everything just plugs in with their wiring harnesses.


So I was kinda going out on a limb by switching over to the sneaky feed but it just looked too cool not to try. From the beginning it wasn't as easy as I had hopes for. First the unit was a little too wide to mount to the sides and was going to be a tight fit to leave it inside the box. After Quad praising how tough this thing was I saw no reason not to just mount it on the bottoms of the box. Not the ideal option but oh well.




The THP set up didn't give me ideal hook up options either as like I said before everything clips in on the products. So I had to do a bit of clipping and splicing.


Also the power cord on the sneaky feed has an inline fuse which I had to clip and splice because I didn't have a drill bit that big enough to let it fit and I didn't want a hole that big.




I got everything wired in and got the solar panel hot wired to the battery and it was time to test.


It synced up and I was instantly able to fire off the feeder


Adjusting the feeder motor power


And set my new feed times


I plugged the holes in the box and cranked it back up. Overall it was pretty easy to set up even with the modifications I had to make.


It's a cool concept and can't wait to play with it in the future.

Thanks for the step-by-step install Paul!

I'm gonna talk to our lease manager and see just how feasible it would be for us to go this route.

So can you explain to me the benefit of using a product like this? Is it just so you can make the feeder go off while you are in the stand?

Thanks

Mine is a 6 volt. It works with both.

Shane, it can tell you when the last time it went off. From the stand you can change your feed times or make it go off manually. You can also turn on your hog lite from the stand if you have one. Has a lot of cool options and they all end with, you can do it from the stand.

I remeber talking to Quad at the hunters extravaganza and I will be adding a couple of these to my feeders.

To me, the biggest advantage is it eliminates the need for having to booger up your spot for hand corning, checking your battery/timer etc...before your sit. You know everything that's going on with your feeder(other than how much corn is in it) without having to go near it.

Mine was about a 5 minute install. It is waterproof and can mount on the outside but I just wired it up, stuck it on the inside. I drilled a quick hole to stick the antenna through and was done. Besides the remote it is going to be nice getting on the stand and being able to check battery status, last time it feed etc.without walking up to the stand. All my feeders are 1400 lbs so I will be using the feed monitoring data on the next fill
up So far two thumbs up.

Not a great pic but you get the idea
