Did you do any of the modifications they had listed in that big thread for the motor and wire? I have no issue with the lower throw diameter. In fact that is my concern with the Lamco. Several folks I have talked too says it throws 20-25+ yards all the way around the feeder and they advertise 155' diameter. I can't have corn being slung out of my pen and even at 20 panels that could happen with one of them. We have a few goats and I don't want them to get used to corn being there at every spin. I don't have any issue with them now and I don't need to create them.
No sir I didn't see that thread until I had done mine. I have mine 16 yards from the blind and corn stops about 5 yards from the blind. But with a trad bow that works great for me.
I bought one to put below the house so we could watch the deer. So far it is working great. I have not done the mod to it yet but will during the spring if it ever dries up enough. If I had to guess, I would say it throws corn about 25-30 feet in all directions.
Picked up ASF Bucees feeder off FB raffle for $299 and has been out in field one season. Heres what I found so far.
Pros: $$ can get almost two of these for the price of one high $ones
Fits in back of truck
Fills easily from back of a truck
No issues so far, timer, motor, leak
Throws inside 10-12yards circle from feeder perfect for feeder pens
No varmint cage and corn build up underneath
Cons
Material is decent and lighter and not high quality but that's expected
Motor wire needs to be covered
Wing nut on the timer door could be better
someone on here had issue with the built in gap between the spinner..(haven't seen it yet)
I bought one last month, did the motor cover and pvc wedges that were talked about it that thread, setup was easy and quick. I like it so far, I don’t have a pen around it and have cows and pigs. I bought this one because my bull knocked over my barrel feeder and destroyed it. So far so good. The legs feel pretty stout to me.
I have had great luck with my Buccess feeder. I actually like it better than the other more expensive ASF stand and fill feeders I have. The EZ feeder throws farther IMO. I also didn't do any modifications to it and we have a ton of pigs and some coons and no ill effects thus far. Considering buying another to get rid of my last tripod feeder.
