Self Adjusting Feeder Timers

[DSMCasey]

I agree that it would get used and make money. Hell, “The Timer” sells thousands of units a year and probably costs $4 to make. This can’t cost much more than that to make.

I mean, how often to you even change a digital timer? Sure, the duration of sunlight changes throughout the year, but not significantly enough for the average person to want to update a timer more than once every couple months.

I adjust the feed times about every 2 weeks from Sept 1 to February 15 on 21 feeders on 2 ranches an hour away from each other.
I would be so happy if I could buy a timer that I could set to feed 10 minutes before sunrise, 50 minutes after sunrise, 70 minutes before sunset and 10 minutes before sunset.

Google “Cheap Piece of Crap” and you’ll find em.

I just set my Texas Hunter feeders for 8:00 A. M. and 5:00 P. M. That works well for me as just because your clock changes doesn't mean the sun changes. I've done it for years and have not been disappointed.

The sun does change. Every day, date light length is different, thus we have seasons.

Would think now a days with the computer chips getting so small and all, that they could come out with a solar related timer.

THANKS Big Pig! I'm going to order one now and try it out!

Does anyone else have experience with this Game Country feeder mechanism?

I like ‘em but they won’t work on my setups without some modifications. I need something that is just a timer, no housing and not with the motor included.

Photocell they go off at sunrise no matter what time it is. Well if they go off al all

Lightning can cause a real problem with a photo cell timer. I have 5 feeders so I just change the times gradually (5-15 minutes)2-3 times a year so feed is on the ground right at or just after daybreak and 2 hours before sunset. I usually put out a little hand corn in the mornings, also.

Solar integrated game feeder timer

Anybody have experience with a timer that adjusts automatically all year for the changing sunrise and sunset times?
NEW SOLAR INTEGRATED GAME FEEDER

Four years ago, I began developing a new type of wild game feeder to replace the conventional clock-timer feeders (and all of their problems) with a simple device that follows dawn and dusk regardless of the seasons. My financial and marketing partner backed out because of health reasons. I now have a patent and trademark in progress with little finances left and no marketing ability.

If you know any company or joint venture that would be interested, please-please contact me. Details at: With held by Administration

Thanks,

This technology has been around for 20 years.. The company that developed it was SSI inc. it was called the Geo timer. You enter your longitude and latitude to your specific area and the timer self adjusts daily. My feeder goes off 15 minutes before sunrise and 1 1/2 hours before sunset daily. SSI has not produced any timers in years..i can only assume there are some patent issues as to why no one has one on the market today..i have 2 of these timers that are 15 years old and they are awesome..

We have 2 of them. Work great still.

y'all realize... this thread is 3 years old.

But, I'd love a timer like the old kenco's.

Yep. Nubby bumped it trying to sell his invention.


He posted the exact same thing on this other old thread.
