    Academy game winner easy fill feeder

    Anyone have any experience with them? Seem to have mixed reviews on their website. I’m looking to change up a couple of my feeders but don’t really want a $600 upgrade for each one.

    Here is one I've had for several years. We added a solar panel to it, a bigger coon cage and we've changed the timer a couple of times, but runs flawlessly.

      Have one of these same ones going on 7 seasons. It’s been a good one. I recommend fencing it in if you have pigs. They are not as heavy duty as some of the nicer higher end stand and fill feeders but they do work well.

        We have several “high end corn feeders” at our place. One of our guys bought one of the small game winners 5 years ago and it’s held up no prob. I was very surprised. One thing I’ve noticed is it doesn’t sling the volume of corn the other feeders do (we have adjusted it multiple times) but we just turned up the spin time to 15 sec. For the money I’ve been really impressed. Our place is in South Texas too where the elements are hard on equipment. Good luck and just my experience.

              I bought 1 and was given one of their 600# Game Winner feeders and have had zero problems. 600#'s is laughable as they will hold 15 bags completely empty! At least the ones I have do!

                40 pound bags?

                40x15=600

                    I have bought 3 of the 320# easy fill feeders and really regret it - one didn't work out of the box; 2nd one had a timer that went bad after 2 wks, and only the 3rd one is working. I bought all 3 less than one month ago. Calling Cust Service is a joke - no one answers. I will never buy a feeder from Academy.

                      I bought 5 of them and have replaced the feeder mechanisms on all of them. Control unit is junk, motor is junk and Kansas sized coons can bend the housing face plate and remove it.

                          I have the smaller one, POS. Game loser products are cheap junk.

                            I've got one that has been in service for five yrs.i had to replace the entire mechanism and upgraded the solar panel the first season,the one they included was junk but the feeder housing has held up well.Go buy anything else for that kind of$.This time of yr. Is a good time to find deals.You cant go wrong with lamco,sweeny or check out west texas feeder supply.
