If you were going to attempt to....

If you did 4 barrels, it would be square. I like building square stuff better. You could build your platform so each barrel would feed out each side. I would keep funnels seperate, so you would be less likely to have a clog affect whole thing. You would need funnels in each barrel.

thought about that, briefly...in a twofer setup, that makes sense since you could have one go off in the morning and one in the evening...but over that, it gets tricky...now with four you could do the same thing but now you are talking 4 times the cost in battery, motor and timer....I think I can make the funneling cheaper than what that would cost.

still visualizing...

Sounds like more trouble than it's worth to me. I'd look for a larger container, or a used big feeder for sale.

I have found several in the $500 range.....you think it would cost more to build one on the cheap like that? (do it yourself scrapper not full retail metal/welder)

I have access to quite a bit of oilfield pipe, at least enough to get the job done so that part is basically a freebee...barrels at $15 a pop right now...then only looking at funnels plumbing and battery/motor/box/timer. I am thinking I could do it on the cheap....

now if I found a large feeder sub $300....now that's a different ballgame...

I have another one of these I will let go for $150 (or will consider trades of equal value stuff). I ended up only needing one instead of 2

I was thinking protein feeder...Never mind the seperate funnel thing. I would build in 2 or 4 barrel setup though.

Sounds like a lot of trouble, I agree with bigger container
