        Looks good, Kevin! Why don't you leave it out front and I'll come by after dark while you're out on patrol and take it off your hands. LOL!

          come on gold. i guess you did not see the lock on in the magnolia tree.

          plus with all those HIGH dollar leases you have why would you want my cheap feeder.

              they are used to put a 55 gallon drum in when they spring a leak. as far as getting them i told a friend i need one and he got me two so i am not sure where to get them other tahn through him.

                my dad works in the oilfeild and got me a big ole drum from a chemical they used with a locking lid on it, we welded some pipe to the sides and i put an allseasons spinner on it and it is going to get its first feild test soon on our new lease. total i spent 129 and that was all on the spinner. its heavy duty , a little bit of a pian to carry around since it is so heavy but i hear they work great and looks like any other top of the line feeder out there and it was made in a garage by a bunch of rednecks

                            Feathermax yes it's 3 pieces of uni -strut, only real expense was galvanized funnel and lid and the Sweeney tube system (50-75 more lbs) w/ sight glass and Krylon paint..WHEN I build my next 1 it will be with the same Sweeney tube system it's huge, freaked me out when it came in the box..Plus they don't charge for shipping..mmmmm..that's family run co.for ya.
