Louisiana Re: Deer Feeder Problems by dirt road ninja August 7th, 2012, 7:23 pm Not much you can do, other than putting in breathing holes. Just changed mine out yesterday, they showed 75% 2 weeks ago after showing 100% for a year. dirt road ninja Posts: 259 Joined: June 28th, 2012, 1:06 pm Location: S.E.
Have seen them die not much after showing 75% on the moultries. Mine will read 100% for a dang year and then 75% which is when I change them out. Battery hit a rock and broke open and was shocked to see inside the housing was 4 D batteries. Was using an old one for weight on a rope that I was trying to get over a limb to hang a feeder on. There is another brand that has a bunch of AA batteries in their 6v battery.I found out the copper top 6v being 4 D batteries a couple years back. However, they are good motors and don't eat batteries. Its either 100% or 50% when its getting bad. There is another brand that has a bunch of AA batteries in their 6v battery. Copper top 6v battery is nothing more then 4 D cell batteries inside. I personally did this and the volt range is different on every one. And you can go as far as to carry a little cheap volt meter to check them. And he just bought them 2 weeks prior.Īlways look at the battery's date. I looked at the battery and the date is 2012. In fact my buddy just had the same thing happen with both feeders. If its something else I wished I knew so I could get what need before the trip.Yes sir! It is the battery. I bought a new battery but now I will not know till I make the trip back up there. But would it quit working all together at 50% being displayed? Since the battery seemed week the week before I am hoping its just a battery. I spun the spinner its not in a bind or froze up. But I knew I had changed it out a few months back and they usually last quite a while longer than that.Īfter hunting I opened it up. Features an adjustable internal funnel that eliminates the need for additional assembly and helps feed flow freely into spinner plate. I have left it and did no investment any more.I noticed when hunting last week that the spinner was going off really slow like a low battery. You seems to be doing lot of investment.I got similar feeder and it was leaking. All metal and no water in the corn so far in one year. We put a rechargeable battery and solar panels on the side of the barrel. We put funnels in bottom of the barrels to funnel corn to the spinner. So we bought galvanized 3" deep covers that fit over the lids. Two 30 gallon drums with lid and rim that holds lid on. Gobbler wrote: What part of country do you live in? It sounds like the feeder is leaking in the water, I will say plastic drums and lids will be chewed through by squirrels here in Florida and SE Georgia where I hunt.

Ps we all the Feeder companies in the Gobbler Directory for folks to look at their websites. They work and you end up saving money from corn savings and not buying new feeders or parts. Like I said two of mine are over 8 years old. What I have learned is it is better to go top of the line on feeders. We put a rechargeable battery and a solar panel on the side of the barrel. No leaks.īut recently we built two Moultries thar seem to work. Two are 8 years old with flawless operation. The All Season feeders are Texas and top of the line. I have 4 All Season feeders (expensive) And I have 2 Moultrie ( so so Expensive.) I know some set ups that work if your interested in them. What part of country do you live in?
