How much corn per second from feeder? It'll vary but please post your figures...

[fritztown]

I've done this before but just double checking against a larger sample of input.
At mine I'm getting 0.59 pounds per second.

Thanks!...

1 pound 3 seconds

Wayyyyyyvy to many variables. I don't feed them corn to make them fat just enough to get them in front of me. Yeah about that much. If I am am feeling it I'll hit the remote.

Lots of variables. 6V, 12v. Spinner plate type and spinner plate height. Whatever it comes out to per second and 3-5lbs to that to account for what the raccoons grab for themselves. I do like the way you think though. I would verify mine but driving 4 hours towards Mexico with a scale would not be smart.

I just put all my feeders at 10 seconds

[Gbird]

I run 3 seconds up until opening day. Day before they go to 5 - 6 seconds per spin.

amount unknown and most likely varies from feeder to feeder even if they are mostly the same 6volt unit/motors with The Timer.

We do 3 sec's am and pm until the acorns are close to done and then we crank it to 5 secs am and pm.

I run my feeders at my lease for 12 seconds but they both have an eliminator spinner plate on them. My feeders at home throw about the same amount of corn at 6 seconds. The type of spinner plates makes a world of difference in the amount of feed put out.

What ever times you use it is important to select the time of day for the feeder to go off so you are not just feeding pigs.

Eliminator plate does make a difference. Whatever you would normally feed you can double it with the eliminator. I normally feed 2 sec. But the feeders I have with eliminator s on them are set on 5. I feed just enough to keep them coming around. At both of my leases the guys that feed to much get over run with hogs. I like for them to clean it up and move on. But that's just me

About 10 lbs at day at 5 seconds twice a day

If you really want to know get a 5 gallon bucket and trip the feeder off and cover it with the bucket and catch the corn then you will know. It's not as much as you think.

[Grant2]

Sorry I set mine for 20 sec twice a day.

I worked for Sweeney's as a salesman for several years and our feeders fed 2.5 lbs for every 5 seconds of feed time when they left the shop. That was pretty much the standard for the industry. This was pre-Eliminator spin plate so that probably makes a big difference as someone mentioned. As others have said, there are many variables to consider though.

I set mine to feed around 3.5 to 4 bags a month. That way a barrel should last 2 months in case I cannot get to the lease one month.

I pull my timers at the end of each season but leave the motor and spinner on the barrel. I label my timers to be sure that they go back on the same feeder and my settings, plate gap, remain the same.

One year when I was really nit picky I did the math to see how much corn each feeding would have to be to last the four months. I held a 5 gallon bucket over the feeder and ran a test and measured each time until I got it right.
