Cool thread!
We've built about 6 of these food-grade barrel feeders over the years. A few got left out in Leakey, but we still have two in Comfort.
50 gal plastic food barrels, winch/cable set up to hang from trees. I usually don't put more than 350 lbs in them, but they will hold just over 400 lbs of corn.
Had a full one break loose from the pulley that was attached to the tree limb once (too small a chain)... The timer/spinner was NOT salvageable! We use 3/16" cable & 800 lb-rated pulleys now and haven't had an issue.

A few of the better ones I have built.
Since going to EMT conduit on the solar panel wiring, I have not had a single problem with coons & solar panels.
There is no varmint cage because we don't have pigs on that place, and the eliminator plate keeps the coons at bay. I built 2 of those stand & fills, and they have been out for 2 years with no problems.
