The Judge Feeder

[MIHunter]

Anyone have anything good or bad to say about them? I might get on for my landowner (older widow lady), who likes to watch the deer off her patio. Where her old feeder is, was under a big tree with major roots and she can’t fill her old feeder. So I was going to get her one fill it and she’s all set. Thoughts?

Love the 2 I have along with my ranch kings. ASF stand & fills require some work occasionally and I’d rather set $500 on fire than ever buy another Treeline product ever again. Hope this helps.

A member on my lease has one. It’s been a solid feeder and issue free.

Have had one running at my house for almost 2 years. I have a lithium battery in it and I have never had an issue.

That's the only bad experience I have heard of so just know that. Many good references from here.

They are also a TBH site sponsor and EXTREMELY responsive if needed.

After the fact, I read the reviews on TS website and though there’s plenty of good ones a 10-15% failure rate coincides with my experience. My buddy and I bought 4 at the same time and as of today none of them are operational. We manage to get them going and then it’s another issue within 2 weeks; timer reset for no reason, fuse blown, battery connectors not crimped with contact, solar panels not charging, spinner plates stuck, motor shaft in a bind, etc, etc. I need dependable feeders with several weeks between lease trips and I simply can’t trust these to feed consistently. Congrats to those who can. I’ve offered to bring them all back to their office for a refund to no avail. I plan on bringing them to the house in June and retrofitting every factory part with other brands replacement parts. Expensive lesson learned. Read the reviews for yourself and hope you have better luck than the rest of us who got burned:

Anyone know where they sell the judge feeders around Corpus Christi/Beeville area?? I would like to take a closer look at one. I could use another 1 or 2 feeders at my place.


$500 on fire rather than use treeline?!?! are they really THAT bad? more details please

This is my experience as well. Mainly the spinner plated/motor shaft getting stuck. We manage to get it working....test it 3 or 4 times. close it up and say a prayer. Next time we go to the lease its bound up.
